Okay, that was fast. After one airing, CBS pulled its new reality show Secret Talents of the Stars. The John O'Hurley-hosted premiere, featuring George Takei singing “On the Road Again” and Clint Black doing stand-up comedy, attracted just 4.6 million viewers on April 8. 48 Hours Mystery will replace the talent show on April 15 and 22 before the James Woods starrer Shark returns to Tuesdays starting April 29.

TV execs officially have no imagination left up their sleeves.

It was also reported by another prominent entertainment mag that CBS plans to air repeats of The Unit. In light of this news, it is critcally important for Unit fans in non Nielsen household to let CBS know they watched the show.

Fans must email or call CBS Executive Audience Services (info below)and tell CBS they watched. This is the ONLY way CBS will get an accurate count of who watched. The numbers they get for the reruns may determine the fate of the show.

Gino....Learn how to spell before you call other people "studip".

....and yet you watch such crap as Idol on a regular basis. I worked for 3 years as a script writer on 7 different reality shows and none of you even realize it not real. Poor studip people.

Tried to watch this dreck. Fast forwarded through most of it except Clint Black doing his standup routine. He had one good joke. One. And his timing was terrible on it. Glad it's gone. Yaay for the return of Shark!

I like some of these reality shows, but when I saw the promo for this one I thought "who would watch this garbage?" I guess the answer is no one.

Great call CBS! Bring back Jericho!

Apparently all these "celebrities'" biggest talent is being able to disappear really quickly. Yay for the return of scripted fare!
