A disappointing start for NBC’s Bent. Both episodes were in fourth place in their timeslots, registering CW-level ratings. After just one night, Bent is the lowest-rated show on the network — with the exception of Saturday night’s all-but-officially-cancelled legal drama, The Firm.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Bent TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Bent is a funny show. It took me a while to get it, but once I did, I couldn’t stop laughing! The way the characters play off of each other is great!
Dont’ cancel Bent!!!!!
Please don’t cancel Bent it is such a funny and witty show and I LOVE it!
Please do not cancel Bent. My wife loves it and mentions that she misses it every night. On a side note I think it’s a great show too!
Please renew!!! I have really enjoyed watching Bent.
Why cancel a show that has only been on a few weeks? I only watched the most recent episode and definitely saw potential with the cast! A series needs time to grow. I’d choose this over a reality show, as I believe *most* people would.
I love bent!
Please do not cancel this TV show!! N
Keep this show on the air!!!!!
I love this show- it was a great way to end the day, it really made me laugh. Just as I was telling alot of my customers to check it out (it’s hilarious), it was gone. Not enough time to give it a fair chance.Please bring it back!!
Bent is fantastic…give it time!!! It is beyond rare to get a tv comedy that is funny, engaging, intelligent, and sexy..GIVE IT TIME! Six episodes??? I’m addicted already and impatiently waiting the next slew of episodes. Where are they?
How can you network people think that 6 episodes is any way to get an audience? Pull your head out and take a deep breath, then do some advertising about this funny show you have. You had the foreward thinking to put it on the air in the first place so how about continuing to show some positive commitment and at least run enough episodes to make a season out of it. And by the way, why are the television seasons so short now? I remember when a season was 9 months long and summer was repeats, what happened? Oh… Read more »
Great show, it has wit, it has a great cast, its as thought the cast plays off eachother or u could say feeds off each other, cus the cast works and meshes so well togather. Most deffently i would say brunch it back for a new season, this time just advertise it better so more people will know about it.
I absolutely loved this show, I only saw 2 episodes ( and I am hooked) because I never even knew about it. I saw the last two. Maybe there wasn’t enough advertising for it. Cause I know my family would all watch it and most people I know. It’s a great show!!!
I LOVE this show….I REALLY hope it gets renewed…
love Bent, better than 99% of what else is on
Please Please Please do not cancel Bent. David Walton and Amanda Peet are stellar, as is Tad Quill’s writing. how about promoting it more, huh?
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT CANCEL BENT!! IT IS A SHARP AND CREATIVE SHOW WITH EXCELLENT WRITING. AND HAS FAR MORE TO OFFER THAN 75% OF THE SHOWS ON THE AIR NOW.
STOP BEING SHORT-SIGHTED NBC. GIVE THE SHOW A SECOND SEASON.
