canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

The New Celebrity Apprentice: Cancelled; NBC Competition Not Returning

by Jessica Pena, August 3, 2017

The New Celebrity Apprentice TV show cancelled
It looks like The New Celebrity Apprentice has been fired. NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt says that the network has no plans to bring back the reality competition.

Hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger, the new incarnation of the competition series followed a group of 16 business-savvy personalities perform in challenges as they try to win the competition while raising money and awareness for favorite charities. Season eight contestants included Laila Ali, Brooke Burke-Charvet, Eric Dickerson, Boy George, Matt Iseman, Carrie Keagan, Carson Kressley, Lisa Leslie, Jon Lovitz, Vince Neil, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Kyle Richards, Chael Sonnen, Porsha Williams, Ricky Williams, and Carnie Wilson.

The New Celebrity Apprentice had trouble from the beginning, given the show’s ties to former host and now President Donald Trump. First, NBC cut the show’s finale from two hours down to one. Later, Schwarzenegger announced he would not return to the series if it were renewed, citing the show’s “baggage” as the reason. And then, half of the show’s sponsors left over threats of boycotting due to Trump’s involvement with the series.

Not to mention, the reality show reboot did not do so well in the ratings. The new season earned an average rating of 1.05 in the 18-49 demo and only 3.966 million viewers. It looks like that “baggage” really did sink The New Celebrity Apprentice.

At the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour, Greenblatt said, “It’s really on the shelf and I don’t think we have any plans to bring it back… I don’t know when we would start thinking about it again. I think it really is a dry dock.”

What do you think? Did you watch The New Celebrity Apprentice? Do you think the show should’ve continued?

I would like to see the Apprentice or the Celebrity Apprentice for many of the “celebrities” were really unknown by me. If the return were to be the Celebrity Apprentice this would be fine too, for many charities benefited. I enjoyed Trump over Arnold but the You’re fired guy doesn’t need to be famous although perhaps Stallone would be a great replacement. I’m pro women but prefer a man for this job. How about Kevin Spacey or is has he been blackballed completely?

Good riddance to the show. I tried watching it while Trump hosted it and found that his mean-spirited nature and childishness was a real putoff. Regardless of who hosts the show, it still has Trumps brand of mean baked into it. Good for Arnie for stepping down.

More interested in shows that build up people to the best that they can be, using positive kind reinforcement. Bullying, verbal abuse, and disrespect aren’t good motivators if you want to remain a good person.

No, it just wasn’t the same. And if Trump came back definitely would no longer watch even though liked it in the past.

The reason it did poorly is because Trump was NOT on it. There is no point in watching without Trump.
