Third time's a charm -- though not for Greg Behrendt. In the third syndication cancellation in as many weeks, the Tribune group has cancelled freshman The Greg Behrendt Show.
The "self-help" talk show debuted in syndication on September 12, 2006 and was hosted by stand-up comedian and best-selling author Greg Behrendt. Each episode featured Behrendt attempting to change their lives in some way -- from cheating boyfriends to lifestyle makeovers. (You can hear one guest's experience via The Hollywood Podcast.)
The Sony Pictures Television-produced show was cancelled, like most, due to low viewership. In its four months, the "self-help" talk show attracted an average of only 880,000 households (0.8 rating) in daytime. It was tied with the similarly challenged The Megan Mullally Show that will go off the air at the end of this month.
The Behrendt cancellation may also be due to soft sales at the recent syndication show in Vegas as well...

Sony Pictures Television's freshman daytime talker The Greg Behrendt Show will not be returning for a second season, the company confirmed Wednesday. The strip, which is averaging a 0.8 household rating season-to-date, is still in production, with a mix of original and repeat episodes scheduled to air through at least May. The news follows the cancellation last month of NBC Universal's rookie talker The Megan Mullally Show. A third freshman talker, Warner Bros.' The Dr. Keith Ablow Show, also is not expected to return for a second season.
