The sun is setting early on The CW‘s Western-themed series. The network has pulled The Wranglers off the Monday night schedule after just three episodes.
A cowboy reality series, The Wranglers TV show follows the lives of young staff members working at the Circle Bar Dude ranch in Montana. In this cowboy paradise, guests escape their fast-paced lives and experience the true American West. The ranch staff members (known as “wranglers”) work tirelessly to cater to the needs of their demanding clients. Meanwhile, they’re also juggling their personal lives and the inherent drama from living and working with a group of attractive and independent cowboys and cowgirls. The staff has a “work hard, play hard” mentality. The co-eds are responsible professionals by day but retreat to their 20-something-year-old selves and lose all inhibitions by night. It’s a tricky balance as the wranglers navigate their personal and professional lives at this remote resort nestled in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the country.
Airing on Monday nights, the first season of The Wranglers averages a meager 0.02 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 158,000 viewers (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).
The first season is comprised of eight episodes. Three installments have aired and the network has released the five remaining episodes on The CW app. The show was billed as a limited series, and the low ratings appear to have ensured there won’t be a second season.
What do you think? Have you checked out The Wranglers TV series? Are you disappointed this CW reality series has been pulled?
Super disappointed. Could have tried a different day/time slot or time of the year. Both of those probably worked against it. Little to no advertising didn’t help it either. I always looked forward to the show and it’s little in-house drama. Kind of a younger Yellowstone. Good insight to behind the scenes of the working of a dude ranch. Beautiful countryside. CW didn’t give it a chance against the big boys in the fall premiere season. Maybe spring or summer would have been placement. Bummer.
Even Joan was sent to Fridays rather than an online only release. I guess the CW was afraid how much lower the Wrangler numbers would have been on Saturday or Sunday.
Disappointed. Good show.
This was a very disappointing decision by CW. It was a good show, and the interaction between the staff members after dark was interesting.
Shame on CW! The time slot was terrible for this show, there was no advertisement so I feel like very few people even know about it. This show was just a fun, easy to watch reality show that I think would appeal to a broad audience. For anyone who steams the CW app is awful! You don’t sign in and so you don’t have shows saved to your “list” . For every single episode I had to search for the show, that’s ridiculous.
I was disappointed The Wranglers was cancelled. It was in a bad time slot and I had to record it to watch at a different time. I enjoyed watching how the young people worked on a dude ranch. I have spent several vacations on dude ranches, and always had a wonderful time, but all we really saw was the wrangler who led the trail rides, never the behind the scenes of the real work. Too bad we won’t get to see more.
I saw it and it was terribly bad.
Maybe NOW, they can bring back The Librarians!
Disappointed in the CW. The didn’t give the show a chance for survival putting it in aonday time slot. There are so many staple shows on tbat night that have had steadfast fans who been watching for a few years. The show was actually a breathe kf fresh air. So many reality cooking competitions. Shows, shows with rich people just doing lavish things. Always in the city , trendy. It was nice to see these youngstersnactually work and work hard. More youngsters need to see that. And see life isn’t just about tik tok and how many followers u have… Read more »
