10 Pro-LGBT TV Programs That Were Ratings Disasters
In another strike-out for the USA Network, the drama program "Eyewitness" was canceled in March after having only one season.
The plot was based on a closeted young gay couple from a small town who witnessed a triple homicide, but feared coming to authorities as it would out them to the community.
"Despite solid reviews and a strong performance by Julianne Nicholson, the series, which got very little promotion, did not hold as much of the SVU audience as the network had hoped," reported Deadline Hollywood in March.
"'Eyewitness,' believed to be the first crime drama with LGBT leads, ranks as the second-lowest-rated original series on USA, a tad ahead of fellow freshman 'Falling Water.'"
