Paul Reiser tried to make a comeback in his career on NBC trying out The Paul Reiser Show. Well, it failed. Badly. Only two episodes were aired before it was cancelled. Both episodes were low-rated. The second episode was more dismal that the first.

The network has decided to fill that time slot with The Office repeats. Once source told Deadline,

“We were hopeful about Paul’s show, but we had to make the decision to protect The Office since we have very important episodes in the coming weeks with Steve Carell’s exit and Will Ferrell’s guest shots.”

NBC’s new administration is “still trying to deal with several other shows carried over from the previous regime” besides Reiser: Friends With Benefits and Love Bites. This statement to me from inside NBC sums it up: “Bob Greenblatt inherited nothing but sh*t.”

Um, that has to hurt. Wow. NBC… just sucks.
