The revived reality series falls short of its predecessor.
May 15, 2012
NBC has cancelled Fear Factor - again. The revived reality competition only aired six episodes in a comeback that didn't work out nearly as well as the show's original incarnation.
When Fear Factor premiered back in 2001 it was an unexpected hit for NBC, a network not known for airing reality shows. Its success continued for a few seasons, but as years passed the show's format became stale and it was cancelled in 2006 after six seasons and 144 episodes.
NBC surely hoped to rekindle some of Fear Factor's original success, however it was not to be. The show quickly came and went, and was left off of the network's 2012-2013 schedule.

My favorite shows have been cancelled.
Suburgatory and Missing.
This is a huge disappointment for me.
I guess I can make time to go out on Wednesday and Thursday evenings now.
Sad.

I wish they hadn't cancelled the show "again" because it was turning into a good comeback. Why would they do this?

Good. The less reality shows of any kind, the better.
