Ratings Review: WELCOME TO THE FAMILY

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY is no longer welcomed at NBC. Today, October 18th, NBC officially cancelled the struggling sitcom after just three episodes. It, along with drama IRONSIDE become the third and fourth casualties of the young 2013-14 season.

The sitcom never really had a chance. It was on NBC (Strike 1), it was in the same hour as THE BIG BANG THEORY (Strike 2) and it was a single camera comedy (Strike 3). We'll see if NBC puts the remainder of the episodes on line or on Hulu.

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY (Thursdays at 8:30 p.m., on NBC)
