Hardly Knew You: The Short-Lived Shows of 2010
by Rich Keller, posted Dec 20th 2010 5:40PM
Not everything is a long-running classic in the fickle world that is television. You may feel that your show has the right mix of acting, writing and directing to be a favorite for indefinite first-run and syndicated airings, but the viewers may have other ideas.And when that happens, your show could disappear before the cover art is even dry for the complete series DVD set.
The year 2010 had no shortage of these short timers. In fact, the 2010-2011 season has already seen not one, not two but three series that bowed out after only two episodes. This, despite long-promoted hype and pre-season buzz. Mentioned here are the 2010 programs that had shorter runs than the presidency of William Henry Harrison.

The staff in Jules Kirby's sphere have finally had it with the rude socialite. Friend of Manhattan's "Park Avenue Princess" Tinsley Mortimer, Jules has been a controversial presence on the 'High Society' (Wed., 9:30PM ET on CW) reality show since its debut last month. Her foul mouth, bigoted remarks, N bombs, Hitler impersonations and talking down to the help were finally too much on last night's episode. After "certain instances" in the hotel, she was escorted out and asked to never return. It appears her main response was, "Where's the (bleep) cab?" Nice.

Did the fist pumping antics on MTV's 'Jersey Shore' lure you into the show? Well, get ready for a new dose of outrageous reality when 'High Society' hits The CW on March 10. 'High Society's' star Tinsley Mortimer said there are similarities."I'm obsessed with 'Jersey Shore'! I love that show and I love those guys. I got a picture with The Situation and Pauly D," Mortimer told PopEater. "I've seen celebrities. I've seen Madonna. I've never rushed anybody for a picture ever, but I had to when I saw those guys. I love them.
"I can see that there would be a comparison, and we definite have a lot of crazy stuff happen on our show too, but I think it's fun to watch that stuff. It's fun to get a peek into people's lives that way," she said. "People really being themselves and just the craziness."
