"Help Me Help You" Into a Coma

December 14, 2006

After premiering in September to a 3.6 rating in the 18-49yo demographic, the Ted Danson "shrink-who-needs-a-shrink" comedy quickly became the show that …well, everyone forgot. Our readers have posted some pretty scathing indictments, including this quote from DeathWatcher Heather, who wrote: "I seem to be more interested in the lives of the patients then in Ted Danson. I even prefer to watch it on tape so I can pass by those parts."

Ye-ouch. This seems to be most of the problem: even those of us who have been Danson fans for years find the show unwatchable.

Remote Report: Help Me Help You

December 11, 2006

We asked about “Help Me Help You” (ABC) and “The Class” (CBS) in Friday’s Remote Round-up. These shows have consistently sat at the top of the cancellation list on the DeathWatch: Midseason Edition. When we came in to work this morning, we discovered that “Big Day” (ABC) had jumped to the number two position with odds of cancellation at 5:1.

That’s a pretty big jump for a few days worth of votes, DeathWatchers really seem to have it out for that show. In fact, our readers seem to hate it almost as much as “Help Me Help You.” Folks on the community board have posted a lot of comments to this effect, and our remote roundup yielded this comment from poster L.A.:

“’Help Me Help You’ is unwatchable. I watched the first 3-4 episodes, and it got worse with each passing week.”

In it’s last showing, the show earned a 1.7 rating in the 18-49 year old demographic. We hope for the sake of all involved, that something drastic happens to the Ted Danson “I’m a grumpy but loveable psychiatrist” comedy.
