After three low rated episodes, “The Playboy Club” has officially been canceled by NBC, which also makes it the first show of the fall 2011 season to get pulled off the air. The cancelation means that no new episodes will be produced and the network has no plans to burn off the remaining 10 episodes, making them unlikely to air in this country. The third and final aired episode attracted only 3 million viewers.
Now unemployed actor David Krumholtz blasted Catholics and Mormons for calling for the show to be canceled even bringing up the sexual abuse scandal. (very limited playbook) I guess he will have to blast NBC executives and just about everyone else in the country who didn’t like or watch the show.
It is such a shame when bad things happen to such good people.

I tried to watch it. It just sucked.

I also watched about ten minutes of the first episode. There was a reason it was cancelled… it was unwatchable. And that was without the moral objections.

Gee, how mature. Your show doesn't work out so you blame the Church's scandals??? How does that even make sense? If he wanted to blame the Church for teaching that this was morally objective, he may have had a point, but really? The scandals?
From what I understand (I wouldn't come within 45 feet of a TV playing such filth) it just plain sucked. Why can't people just take responsibility for their own failings? Ugh, people bug me.

I watched the first two episodes to see if it was what people said. Honestly, the show wasn't any more immoral than countless other shows on TV these days. The show wasn't good, but with all of the other shows on the air, I don't know why that one got the brunt of the morality criticism.

Unkindly, I am delighted to learn that Krumhole, whose work I have never liked, (in comedy or drama, he is alternately unconvincing or excessively mannered, without making the mannerisms entertaining, as, say, a Vincent D'Onofrio can manage,) seems to be a complete jackwagon.
I have to confess, had the commercials been intriguing, I would have at least given the show a shot, (it is possible for a work of art to treat a milieu or lifestyle without glorifying or glamorizing it– does anyone watch Mad Men and think, "gee, i'd like to be an alcoholic like those neat guys"?)

The Playboy Club was absolutely no worse than a show like Criminal Minds. I'd rather watch questionable moral behavior than people getting slashed and having their eyes burned out with acid.
