Airing on Tuesday nights, America’s Got Talent remains NBC’s biggest summer series. How’s its companion series, I Can Do That, been doing? Is it a hit as well? Should it be cancelled or reenwed for a second season?
Hosted by comedian Marlon Wayans, I Can Do That follows a group of performers as they try to learn new talents and showcase their skills in front of an audience each week. The celebrities include dancer and choreographer Cheryl Burke; recording artists Ciara, Joe Jonas and Nicole Scherzinger; stand-up comedian Jeff Dye; and actor Alan Ritchson.
The series debuted on May 26th to a 1.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.4 million viewers — not a bad start for a summer series. The ratings dropped about 16% in week two but then rose a bit in week three.
While I Can Do That certainly isn’t a hit, it’s performing pretty well for a summer series. Last year, The Night Shift, ran in the same post-AGT timeslot. That medical drama had worse demo numbers — the ratings that count most to the networks — and it was still renewed.
While the NBC execs could certainly cancel I Can Do That, I suspect its numbers are decent enough to give the series a second chance next summer.
But, what do you think? Do you like the I Can Do That TV show? If you ran the network, would you cancel or renew it for a second season?
They should keep it it’s so much fun show
I think the show is good ! will they change up the guest stars ?
keep it going !!!!
I wish it came on later. But still, it is an enjoyable, light show. The contestants are fun and certainly nice eye candy, each in his/her own way. I hope the show is renewed.
Sorry, no. This show should absolutely not be renewed. It’s purpose is to further fuel the egos of the celebrities involved, which I have no interest in.
I’d be singing a different tune if there was SOME emphasis on the professionals who actually do what the celebrities are forced to, but the focus is 95% on the celebrities trying to perform and their fellow celebrities assuring them of “how great” they did.
Yes! I love I Can Do That! because it’s now my favorite show. Direct from Israel, it has amazed me. Please confirm to make a season 2.
Sorry. Watched a little of it and didn’t like it. Boring.
I think they should do the 2nd season, the ratings are fine. Could get better if they changed/tweaked something & attracted more viewers. 🙂
Nicole’s such a doll to watch every week, I love her so much & she’s so underrated. What a talent! <3
Shame its no on in the UK 🙁 I do love watching it on YouTube
🙂
love the show
I definitely hope they renew this show. Marlon Wayans has been hilarious (as per usual) and the crazy fun new talents that the entertainers have to learn are things that everybody wishes they could learn. Seeing celebrities try new things make them seem much more average, even though they usually still do amazingly well after the week of training is finished. On top of all that, I am a huge fan of Alan Ritchson from his Blue Mountain State days, and he is so funny while performing. Can’t wait to see the rest of the season, and hopefully get to… Read more »

I could care less. Completely over all this dumb reality tv.
I love it! Definitely keep
Ugh…more reality TV. I’m so sick of it. I’ll pass.
Definitely a keeper—this show is so much fun! I really hope they bring it back.
I agree! I love it! Jeff Dye is hilarious.
