American may love Betty White, but apparently not enough to tune in to her NBC series Betty White’s Off Their Rockers. The network announced on Thursday that it has cancelled the hidden camera show.
The series had White hosting a show with old men and women pulling pranks on the younger generation in a Candid Camera/Punk’d-style fashion. Off Their Rockers ran two season and began after NBC’s 90th birthday special for White drew surprisingly strong ratings, notes The Hollywood Reporter.
Off Their Rockers’ first season ran from January to May 2012, but the second season’s episodes aired irregularly, with bunches in January and February. The final episodes were burned off on March 19, June 25 and July 9. It averaged a 1.5 18-49 rating and 5.3 million viewers.
“We’re really proud of the show and the fact that the audience has responded as favorably as they have, and the interest we have already received from other networks is a testament to the show,” Chris Coelen of producer Kenetic Content told Deadline. “We are thankful we had this experience at NBC.”
White hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in May 2010 and currently stars on TV Land’s Hot In Cleveland. It reaches 100 episodes this season.
