ABC pulls 'Opportunity Knocks'
ABC has pulled Ashton Kutcher's game show "Opportunity Knocks" from its lineup next Tuesday night, replacing the low-rated series with a re-cap of "Dancing With the Stars."
Three hourlong episodes have aired. Sources say ABC intends to air the six remaining hours at some point, possibly next summer, but has no plans to order additional episodes.
Tuesday's episode of "Knocks" dropped to a 1.3 rating among adults 18-49, falling 28% from its last airing, below what's considered an acceptable number for a midweek primetime program on a major network.
The show got off to a bumpy start last July at at the Television Critics Association press tour, debuted modestly, then dropped in the Nielsens while facing tough competitors such as "The Biggest Loser" and "House."
The show was produced by Kutcher's Katalyst Films and 3 Ball Productions.
