Fox pulls Rich List off the schedule?

Eamonn HolmesDid you watch the premiere of The Rich List, hosted by Eamonn Holmes (pictured), on Fox this week? If you did, you may now be able to tell people that you saw every single episode of the show. I read over on Digital Spy that Fox had pulled the show from the schedule. There hasn't been any official word from the network as to what their plans are for the future of the show. However, given the fact that it no longer appears in the list of shows on the official Fox site, and the page for the show has now disappeared, the chances of a return don't look very good.

The quick cancellation, if that's what it turns out to be, surprises me. Did anyone think the numbers were going to be huge when stepping into the middle of the Criminal Minds vs. Lost battle? I did see the show, and while it wasn't anything great, it was in the same ballpark as Deal Or No Deal and 1 vs. 100. I actually preferred the listing aspect to the random guessing of Deal, or the multiple choice questions of 1 vs. 100.

How disappointing that The Rich List was cancelled after one show. We played the game and enjoyed it very much. Tried to find it listed for next few weeks thinking we had wrong day or time. With so many Reality
shows and Crime shows it's refreshing to have entertainment that you can use your brain power and
test your own knowledge. Bring the show BACK!!!!!

I wish they would bring this show back! My husband and I were disapointed to find it was cancelled after the first show. I'm pretty sure that having a gay guy on the show had nothing to do with why it didn't do well. Whoever said that needs their head examined. I loved the pink shirt guy!

It was much more fast paced then the other primetime gameshows. The host beats out Bob Sagit(sp) easily. I was waiting all night to see the episode only to be disappointed by another "Bones" series. What are you thinking? It was great sitting with my wife trying to name all the Stephen King novels/series, being she is a huge fan. Even the Tom Cruise category had us going. It needs to come back. Thanks Tom

I was so disappointed that the Rich List was not on this past week. I loved the show. It was so exciting and interactive. My husband and I made bets between us on who could come up with more answers to the lists. They really need to bring it back. It is a really great game show and I will miss it.

I watched the pilot and LOVED it!! I thought 'this show is gonna get a lot of the people who fell in love with millionaire!' I was planning on definately adding this to my Wednesday night routine. (I had decided that "Criminal Minds" was a little gruesome for my tastes.) So...I am really disappointed!! BRING THE RICH LIST BACK!!

I thought I had missed last week's airing.. I searched on my satellite guide and couldn't find it so I searched the net.. Why would they cancel that show? I thought it was great.

I agree with most of you.. I really enjoyed watching as my fiance and I had a lot of fun playing at home, too.

They suck.

I loved the show. I even told my whole family to look for it the next week. We were all disappointed it wasn't on. I even gave up watching Lost that week to see it. Oh well.. Hope to see it turn up on GSN!

I was excited when I saw the show. I even played the game with my husband. We would pause the show to see who could answer more questions. I think fox made a big mistake by taking the show off the air. You need to rethink this.

I saw 'The Rich List' on November 1st. I thought it was the best game show I have ever seen. The audience was able to play along with all of the list. I also liked that fact that you were paired with a partner you did not know and had never met. I told several people about it and they were all disappointed when they were not able to find it on November 8th.
