It’s been a rocky road for NBC’s 100 Questions and now the journey is over. The sitcom has been cancelled after one season and six episodes.
100 Questions follows Charlotte Payne (Sophie Winkleman), a young woman who’s looking for love. She goes to a dating service and answers 100 questions as posed by a frustrated consultant named Andrew (Michael Benjamin Washington). While trying to figure out what she’s looking for in a mate, she recounts relationship stories that include friends Leslie (Smith Cho), Jill (Collette Wolfe), Mike (Christopher Moynihan), and Wayne (David Walton).
Originally titled 100 Questions for Charlotte Payne, the pilot was directed by Emmy Award-winning director James Burrows. NBC ordered it to series but then recast several characters and director Alex Hardcastle took over. After six installments were produced, the network cut the episode order and shut down production. Then, the show’s premiere was delayed until May 27th. Clearly, the network’s enthusiasm had waned a bit.
When 100 Questions finally did debut, most viewers didn’t notice. The show’s premiere episode attracted horrible numbers — just a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.48 million viewers. The numbers got even worse as the weeks progressed. The network kept the show on the schedule and let all six episodes air. There won’t be any more though.
To no surprise, 100 Questions has been cancelled and won’t be back for a second season, as reported by both Futon Critic and MediaWeek.
Though NBC declined to comment, Moynihan, the show’s creator and a co-star, has already moved on. He recently signed a deal to write and executive produce two new projects for ABC Studios. He’s also expected to have a part in front of the camera as well.
What do you think? Are you sorry that 100 Questions won’t be back? How would you have wrapped up Charlotte’s quest? Why do you think the series didn’t succeed?

Hello from Madrid
This show is great! You should keep it on air…we were following from Spain!
Regards
I love this show. The only reason not many people knew about it was because NBC wasn’t smart enough to advertise it. I wanted to know if Charlotte ends up with Wayne!
Good humor is hard to find.
They finally showed it in
this Show.
I was soo inspired by this
Show. I can’t
even tell you.

Everyone who is saying Bad
Has no taste, whatssoever.
I am extremely Upset! I seriously will tell you, that I have like many shows.
Non Like this one. This one was the Best show in the world, that I have ever
Watched. I am so depressed, seriously that it has ended. It just makes me
think how stupid TV is, that it ends the best shows. If anyone ever said bad
about this Show. Who the hell cares. It was better than better.
I know when something is Good.
This was excellent!
I Really do hope that you will
Reconcider.
– I will be waiting.

I really do have to say this show had the potential.
I really loved every episode, thought it was very original and loved all the actors.
It’s really sad it was canceled, I really loved that show.
This was a good show. You could tell it was slowly getting better and better. They never even gave it a chance 🙁
This was one of the absolute worst shows I had ever seen. I gave it a chance for longer than I should have. Terrible acting, terrible writers, and no laughs. Good riddance. This show was absolute trash.
I know BabyBoy, it’s a damn shame. Another good show bites the dust.
Plain and simpel; good TV is dead.
Unbelievable! This was a very funny sitcom and all they gave it was 6 episodes! Truly sucks! Like Out of Practice and The Class this had a nice ensemble cast and was building character developement nicely. At least OOP and TC had one full season each, then each of those great sitcoms was dumped. And garbage like Big Bang Theory goes on and on. Sickening.
I think no one watched it because no one knew it was on, I never saw any commercials for it and only knew about it because I happened to be watching TV when the first episode was on. I thought it was a good show.
I think the show were going better each episode and it was so early to cancel it after just 6 episodes.
You ********! You have stolen from us SG1, SGA, Battlestar Galactica, Prison Break, Spartacus Blood and Sand, all the best shows ever, and now this one too. You should be ashamed. If I were you I’ll shot myself right-away… Finally a REALLY, REALLY good show and they have cancelled it after only 6 episodes. This sucks! NBC sucks! ABC sucks! All the TV channels sucks! What the frack is happening lately in television. They are continuing to keep alive all the freaking shows (like they did with “Lost” for 6 seasons) and when a good show is coming up they… Read more »
Right!
~ Finally a Show
that isn’t too dirty.
Appropriate and
Extremely Funny!

dude i think Spartacus is coming back. Andy Whitfield is recovering from cancer as I’m sure you know and they are making a prequel type show to quench the audiences thirst for it while they wait until Andy is fully recovered and then they will shoot season 2.
Great show, just because no one started watching it doesn’t mean anything…
