Breakthrough with Tony Robbins: NBC TV Show Pulled, Cancelled

Published:August 5, 2010

Breakthrough with Tony RobbinsPositive thinking certainly didn’t help NBC’s new reality series, Breakthrough with Tony Robbins, in the ratings. The TV show’s been pulled after just two episodes.

In Breakthrough with Tony Robbins, self-help master Tony Robbins seeks to help ordinary people overcome big challenges so that they can begin living their lives to their true potential.

The first episode of Breakthrough got off to a very poor start with a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic and only 3.12 million viewers. That put the debut in fourth place in both areas.

This week’s installment attracted about the same in the demo but total viewership fell to 2.76 million viewers. How low could the ratings go?

Would you watch the remaining episodes of Breakthrough?

We won’t get to find out. NBC has pulled Breakthrough effective immediately. They’ve replaced it with repeats of Minute to Win It for the foreseeable future.

This leaves four episodes of Breakthrough on the shelf, unaired. The network hasn’t made any indication that they’ll burn off the remaining installments. There is no way that NBC will be ordering any more episodes and the show’s been confirmed as cancelled.

What do you think? Did you like Breakthrough with Tony Robbins? Why do you think the show didn’t succeed in attracting more viewers?

Had I known this show was on the air, I would have watched it religiously. I have followed Tony’s career since I was a teenager. I’m pretty sure the reason it didn’t last was because the airwaves weren’t flamed with ad’s for the upcoming premiere.

As far as politics go, Tony is a republican. I am not. That has ZERO to do with what he has to teach us all. You do not have a successful 25 year career and become a BILLIONAIRE (with a “B”) by selling something that doesn’t work. You might make a quick few million but that would be the extent of it. You cannot argue with results. This guy is for real and my own life is proof of that.
