Australian Replacement Don’t Stop Believing Axed Before Production

As we heard earlier this year that So You Think You Can Dance was axed due to poor ratings. Well, I just heard last week the replacement program Australia’s Don’t Stop Believing has been canned before production of Auditions strated due to poor ratings in the U.K.

Was this the right idea for Ten to axe SYTYCD Australia here share your anger and thoughts here.

Here’s the official news:
EXCLUSIVE: Network TEN has pulled the pin on Don’t Stop Believing, its all-singing, all-dancing spectacular that was due to launch in 2011.

The Glee-inspired production was originally planned to kick off the ratings year for TEN, but was recently pushed back by several months amid network uncertainty.

TEN has since decided not to proceed at all, despite a lavish production number staged before sponsors at its 2011 launch in Sydney and Melbourne.

The cancellation of the Shine-produced series follows its failure in the UK, hosted by Emma Bunton.

TEN has also been watching the performance of The X Factor, which is belatedly beginning to pick up steam. But the money paid for the show has not met market expectations. While TEN is working in a changing environment under shareholders Jamie Packer and Lachlan Murdoch, it is determined to start the year off from a strong position.

Don’t Stop Believing brought together vocal groups of varying sizes and ages in a live performance designed to capitalise on the success of shows such as Glee, High School Musical and Hairspray. It was also including a resident troupe of singers and dancers. Without Australian Idol, So You Think You Can Dance and Don’t Stop Believing, TEN is now without a local performance show in the musical genre.

TEN commissioned the production before the UK series began, where it fell victim to falling ratings after being moved from its timeslot due to sporting commitments by Five.

David Mott, Chief Programming Officer had previously said of the show, “Don’t Stop Believing is a joyous format and a perfect fit for the big entertainment, feel good direction TEN has been heading for the last few years.

“We have had incredible success in identifying and airing excellent high impact performance shows and this is bigger and better than any we have ever undertaken.”

TV Tonight, which broke the news on the series being commissioned in July, understands auditions for vocal acts was advanced but no performers had yet been attached to the series.

Feature & Sneak Peek Scenes of tWitch on Bones (Contains Spoilers)

This episode may be shown tomorrow if the Baseball is finished (if somebody knows if it does happen please let me know and I’ll post the news I don’t live in the U.S. and I haven’ heard any of the Baseball news). We’ll let you know if the episode has been shown. Will also post videos of him next week.

A big surprise for Fox to show this on their You Tube channel since they don’t really care about us fans sometimes with Dance and caring more on Lie to Me & Glee.

The episode is 6.05 titled ‘The Bones That Weren’t’. It will be shown if tomorrow (if no Baseball) on Fox at 8/7c. There were 5 promos being shown for the past month but none of them contained a scene of tWitch.
