The miniseries gets the quick axe.
January 13, 2014
ABC has removed new miniseries The Assets from its lineup after just two episodes. The show was originally scheduled to run for eight weeks, but a record-low debut for its premiere episode triggered an early cancellation.
In its place, Shark Tank reruns will air on Thursday nights in the 10:00pm time slot for the next three weeks.

It is too bad that a quality mini series, is only given a two night exposure. It was terrific TV. Since it is already filmed, why not show it? 10 pm on Thursday night is otherwise a waste land of rubbish. I don't believe that re-runs of Shark Tank does any good for ABC. At least complete the series.
Thank you

Come on ABC! Two episodes isn't giving it a chance. I guess it took an engaged viewer to like it. Good historical min-series. Put Shark Tank in its place. More reality show crap.
I need to stop looking at ABC. I use the Watch ABC app. Can't you at least put the last six there? At least you gave Last Resort the ability to finish out.
I'll add it to the list of shows on ABC I watched on iPad and got canceled; Pan-Am, Last Resort, Zero Hour, GCB, Mistresses, Assets.

Are you kidding me. What are you thinking ABC. FIRST Assets us a very good show. Second its a miniseries finish so at least let us watch the complete show instead of pulling the rug out from under us and leave us hanging. If you don't want to make it a weekly show fine but at least let us see the whole miniseries for gosh sakes. Don't leave us hanging!

That's why I DVR everything then wait for at least 4 episodes befoe I start watching. Why invest time watching when there is a good chance it will be cancelled (all networks are guilty of it, not just ABC). But I knew this one wouldn't last, just a copycat version of The Americans.
