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?
Keep the show,
The only thing wrong with the show is that there is probably not too many viewers because it is on at 10 pm on a weekday. People need to sleep for work the next day. Other than that, I love the show. I love watching celebrities having trouble mastering talents. I just hope they make next season (if they have it) more challenging so that way we can actually see their not faking when they try.
Keep! I’m in love with the show, performances, and cast. I have it set to record each week.
Definitely keep. I’d love to see the same cast on a longer season.
I LOVED the show. It was very entertaining funny and I REALLY enjoyed it! PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW! It’s amazing!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!
There’s no real sense of competition. Not once do we see people ‘vote’. It’s more of a talent show.
I love the concept and the casts, but the script is poorly written. I don’t think anyone thought this show through.
Love the show. Ciara is amazing and beautiful!!!!
Keep it. Is entertaining on a guilty pleasure kind of way.
Keep the show it’s entertaining, there’s no show like it on TV
It really sucks badly. The celebrities look as if they are desperate to make it work. It’s palpable.
One of the very worst shows that I have ever seen.Dump this turkey.
Keep it! It’s been fun to watch. Love Jeff Dye!
I dislike any show hat uses the expression “that’s dope. What a terrible expression . Off the air.
That’s a dope reason
I really enjoy this show.
Zzzzzzz.
Definitely keep it! I am already thinking of new celebrities I would want to see in SEASON 2!!
