Nine pulls the plug on hit reality show amidst quest for new stars

TV networks have to keep their content fresh and engaging to hold viewers' interest and keep those ratings high.

This means being able to make the tough decision to axe programs that don't bring in the audience numbers.

Unfortunately for fans of this reality series, Nine Network has recently made the call to cancel this much-loved program.



Channel Nine has decided to cancel the reality series My Mum, Your Dad after just two seasons.

The show, hosted by Kate Langbroek, followed a group of single parents on their quest for love, with a twist—their adult children were secretly orchestrating their dating lives.

According to TV Blackbox, Channel Nine confirmed on Tuesday that the show would not be returning, citing that ‘2024 is a big Olympic year and it won't be in the schedule’.

The news of the cancellation reportedly leaked before several Nine employees were even informed of the decision.

Interestingly, the show's production house, ITV Studios, had published an online casting call for the 2024 season as recently as September.

However, the casting website now states that casting for season 3 has 'closed'.

My Mum, Your Dad has faced a struggle with ratings since the lacklustre debut of its second season in November.

The 2023 season premiere drew in only 290,000 fans in the metro ratings, a significant 26 per cent drop from the show's debut episode in 2022, as reported



This cancellation is the latest in a series of axed shows by Nine in recent months.

In May, the network discontinued the family-friendly cooking show Snackmasters after just two seasons and ten episodes.

Snackmasters, based on a British format of the same name, challenged skilled chefs to recreate the taste of Australia's most-loved snacks. However, its metro ratings fell to 311,000 by the end of its second season.

In September, Nine also confirmed that their adventure series Rush had been axed. Hosted by Survivor star David Genat, the Amazing Race-inspired series debuted to a meagre metro rating of 301,000 in July. The show failed to impress viewers, with just 270,000 fans tuning in for the season finale.

Adding to the list of cancellations, Millionaire Hot Seat has also been cancelled after 14 years on air. The game show, hosted by Eddie McGuire and boasting 15 seasons, wrapped up in November.



While the cancellation of these shows may be disappointing for fans, it's worth noting that Channel Nine is likely to introduce new programming to fill these slots. The network has a history of producing successful reality TV shows, and it's likely that they will continue to experiment with new formats and concepts.

As always, the world of television is constantly evolving, and while it's sad to say goodbye to beloved shows, there's always something new and exciting on the horizon.
Key Takeaways
  • Channel Nine has cancelled the reality series My Mum, Your Dad after only two seasons due to poor ratings.
  • The cancellation was announced before some Nine employees had been informed and shortly after a casting call for the 2024 season had been published.
  • This cancellation follows others by the network, including Snackmasters and their adventure series Rush.
  • Long-running game show Millionaire Hot Seat has also been cancelled, ending after 14 years on air.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣plenty off other garbage 🗑 can go as well not just on Channel Nine, 10 ,7,etc reality TV what a croc of 💩💩💩💩💩💩 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
I found watching tumbleweeds rolling down the road more entertaining.

And those "women"? Multiple visits to the plastic surgeon, panelbeater and plasterer does wonders for the ageing cougars out there.

I could imagine getting one of these bimbos in the sack, you going hammer and tongs while they are....

....looking in a circular makeup mirror, applying mascara....

Yeah they thought that yet another rubbishy 'reality' program would fly. Haha. Axe them all I say except perhaps 'Travel Guides' which gives you a good laugh.
"Much loved"?
"The 2023 season premiere drew in only 290,000 fans in the metro ratings, a significant 26 per cent drop from the show's debut episode in 2022."
Doesn't sound like much loving happening there.

I don't see a gold star on the top right of your profile avatar so it's safe to say you're not paying a cent. In other words, you're not an SDC Rewards member. Just saying...
 
Thank goodness for that! Now all we have to hope is that all reality shows are cancelled on all channels
They are all contrived, I can't believe that anybody with half a brain would watch them, just garbage
I can understand people who like cooking watching these shows, or people like me who are interested in renovating. But even all these shows can do without all the bull they put in, with people arguing, etc.
Big Brother, MAFS, Fantasy Island and the like are an insult to people's intelligence.
Except for the trends, the younger/middle-aged groups seem to enjoy watching 90% Reality ( huh what's real?) shows such as Survivor etc for some time..but a good one? I have not seen one yet but I am in the older group unimpressed by modern glitz.

hooray, get rid of all the rubbish. I'm sick of women with boobs and bum hanging out and with too much make up and few brains. I cannot understand how people watch those shows that have gone on for 30 or 40 years. Isn't there anything better to do with your time? I read and do craft and friends visit. For the life of me I don't understand "streaming". The only stream I know is a little bigger than a creek and has water in it. It will be good to see the back of Eddie McGuire and they should do us a favour and get rid of that rude, arrogant Stefanovic. That would make me really happy. He's the reason I normally have no tv on. By the way, what really is reality in most of the junk.

Barbara you notice I'm in here with you.I'm gamiry. Just to get this far has taken me over half an hour. Are you using google too? They even tell me with monotonous regularity that I'm not on the net while I'm reading my emails including this one. So far I've been sent me back to my page (that shows icons) twice while I was trying to read what you wrote. I also get smothered in ads, "not connected try again" I've even had them freeze everything including Google Chrome . while I'm trying to send a document to a lady in NZ who I'd been talking to for over 2 hours thanks to Google crap. All Google was frozen until next morning. I'm trying to find a replacement for this mob as I've had enough.
