Offline Nation
Well, shucks. Online Nation–our first TV hosting gig–was canceled last night. How do we sort it all out? With a video, of course:
If you’ve recently lost your job…or a puppy… or if you’re currently suffering from yellow fever…feel free to comiserate by leaving a comment!
If it’s any consolation, I don’t even know what a “CW” is. I’ll just keep on watching your tuneful antics on the good ‘ol fashioned internet.
Come to think of it, “CW” to me means “Continuous Wave” AKA Morse Code. You could try doing a show in Morse Code, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
I’m kinda bummed because one of my videos was gonna appear on the 5th or 6th episode. I think what killed the show was the night it was on. Sunday Night. Opposite the Fox cartoon line-up. Ironically enough, I wound up watching “Online Nation” online.
Ah well…It was a fun dream while it lasted, and a Hollywood producer actually saw my video. I can’t really sneeze at that.

… but you were still #1. It was the first cancellation of the season! Here’s an AP article I just came across on CNN.com. You got a brief mention:
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — The music has stopped for “Viva Laughlin,” an offbeat song-and-dance drama that drew such low ratings it was canceled by CBS after two airings.
Even having film star Hugh Jackman (“X-Men”) aboard as executive producer and cast member couldn’t save the series. It was the second cancellation of the young season, after CW’s “Online Nation,” and the first scripted show to be yanked.
“Viva Laughlin,” based on the hit British series “Viva Blackpool,” debuted last Thursday with 8.4 million viewers — a pittance compared to the 21.2 million viewers that watched the CBS show preceding it, top-rated “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.”
Moving to what was intended as its regular time slot, 8 p.m. EST Sunday, “Viva Laughlin” dropped to an estimated 6.8 million viewers. The show starring Lloyd Owen as a small-time gambler caught up in a murder investigation drew mostly drew largely poor reviews.
It will be replaced next Sunday by a “CSI” rerun, with reality series “The Amazing Race” then taking over the time period, CBS (part of CBS Corp.) said Monday.
