From the Television Board:
'Pride' Ride Might Be Over at NBC
Tue Nov 2, 2:32 AM ET Entertainment - Reuters TV
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - NBC is pulling the freshman computer-animated comedy "Father of the Pride," which revolves around the antics of Las Vegas icons Siegfried & Roy, off the schedule for the Noveraber sweep (Nov. 4-Dec. 1).
During the sweep, "Pride's" Tuesday 9 p.m. slot will be taken over by the network's new reality series "The Biggest Loser," which will be expanded from 60 to 90 minutes, running from 8-9:30 p.m. Tuesdays.
The remaining episodes of "Pride" will air after the sweep, an NBC spokesman said, declining further comment on the future of the show.
Given the long production cycle for the $2 million-per episode animated series, the network was expected to make a decision on a back-nine order for the show shortly. In light of "Pride's" high cost and soft ratings, that order is now considered unlikely.
