Cancel me once, shame on you. Cancel me twice,
shame on me. That may be what is running through Tom Greens head
as he got pink slipped by MTV due to poor ratings.
The New Tom Green Show lasted only three
month; half as long as the actors marriage to Drew Barrymore.
The New Tom Green Show debuted to critical
acclaim on June 23rd and offered a much different format than the comedian's
original MTV series. This time the gross out skits were replaced by a golden
age of television style late night talk show, ala Johnny Carson.
Unlike Carson, Green wasnt able to pull
in the viewers, or the green for that matter and MTV decided to pull the
plug.
The first week of the program averaged
889,000 viewers but a look at last weeks average shows the sad truth at
255,000 viewers.
"Tom remains a part of the MTV family and
we look forward to working with him in the future," an MTV spokeswoman
said Tuesday.
But will Tom go back and get bitten again?
Time will tell.
