Anyone catch either of them ?.
Haven't watched Up All Night yet, but I thought Ben and Kate wasn't actually that bad. Nothing hysterically funny, but enough there for me to stick with it. It does, however, seem almost certain to be cancelled in the States though.
Up All Night does have a 2nd season though, so at least that one is going somewhere.

Up All Night is likely to be cancelled, to the point where NBC fired the showrunner (who was also the show's creator) and turned it into a studio based laugh track sitcom....
Interesting. I watched it earlier and I wasn't that enamoured with it to be honest. If they're both on shaky ground, i might not even bother. we'll see.
They haven't been cancelled - yet. It's likely they both will be though, but not yet. Up all night is on hiatus and is coming back as a fixed-camera "Friends" style sitcom that's going to be filmed in front of an audience so I think they'd at least want to see if that improves the ratings.
Ben and Kate - one of those situations where I prefer all the supporting cast to the two mains!
Up All Night - preferred this one, thought it was amusing but not laugh out loud funny. Like Maya Rudolph, and quite like the two leads. Don't think much of the plans to film in front of an audience though so not sure how long I'll carry on with it...
Won't series link either or sit down to watch live, but good programs to have to watch on the ITV player for when there's nothing else on.
Signs are pointing towards a cancellation?
It's cancelled with 6 eps left to air. They're currently filming Ep15.
I watched the first episode which i quite liked. Saw the 2nd one which was ok and thought there's room for improvement and was going to keep on watching. Not sure now.
Suffice to say, another one bites the dust.

i dont mind the rest but that lucy punch is just dire, same monotone drone in every role, they cast dakota as the hot pretty MILF and the lucy as the ugly friend.
I guess they'll aim towards wrapping it up if they're still filming it.

Any news on the other one, Up all Night?
This would seem to be some radical surgery to save the patient and if the format change doesn't produce enhanced ratings it will simply die.
My money is on the reboot not working and the show being being cancelled.
Mind you, both shows were terrible.
Because we're willing to try something new and different ?
News in today, Christina Applegate has quit the show

What with the multiple changes of showrunner, departure of the series creator and star and several changes to the basic premise (Ava and Reagan were PR specialists in the pilot, and there's another huge change at the start of Season 2), NBC really are flogging a dead horse (to Findus? )
