Yeah, but it didn't help that it came back for the third only to have a near-immediate hiatus for the playoffs/World Series. And then they used the dip in ratings when they came back from a 4 week break (gee, who'd have thought?!) as an excuse to kill it. And now they're doing again, their "last chance" coming after a long, silent, gap. I know it's not going to pull in record ratings regardless, but they're making it near impossible for it to even pull in the maximum it potentially could.
