NBC cancels 'Free Agents'

'Free Agents,' starring Hank Azaria and Kathryn Hahn drew only 3.2 million viewers in its most recent airing on NBC.NBC has axed low-rated Wednesday comedy "Free Agents" after four airings. The Hank Azaria-Kathryn Hahn rom-com delivered 3.2 million viewers in its most recent airing. NBC plans to fill the Wednesday 8:30 p.m. slot with repeats of its new Thursday comedy "Whitney." "Free Agents," an offbeat Universal TV laffer based on a Brit format, drew some positive reviews but never clicked in the tough slot opposite Fox's "The X Factor" and CBS' "Survivor." It also struggled to hold the lead-in from its 8 p.m. companion, "Up All Night," which has earned a full-season pickup. On Wednesday, "Up All Night" delivered a 5.7 million viewers and 2.2 rating/7 share in the adults 18-49 demo; "Free Agents" slipped to 3.2 million and 1.0/3 -- a drop that sealed the show's fate.
