What’s This TV Show About?

An unscripted comedy series airing on the ABC television network, The Prank Panel TV show lets everyday people pitch elaborate pranks to a panel of the world’s greatest pranksters — Johnny Knoxville, Eric Andre, and Gabourey Sidibe. Their goal is to target family members, friends, and co-workers to get a little payback. The panel of “pranxperts” take viewers behind the scenes as they help to plot and plan elaborate and diabolical schemes. The panelists serve as mentors and saboteurs, with celebrity guests also sometimes joining in on the fun. Pranks include an officiant being mortified by the marriage she’s just blessed and a repo man getting a taste of his own medicine.
 

Season One Ratings

The first season of The Prank Panel averaged a 0.28 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.87 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will ABC cancel or renew The Prank Panel for season two? This series appears relatively inexpensive to produce and could be used to fill in gaps in the schedule, but for now, my gut tells me it’s not likely to see a second season.
