I never saw it but from what everybody says it sounds like it may have been almost as stupid as you, Mr Bonehead.

That is a bad news. I'm sure there are others who watch the series and are waiting for the next episode. I hope they can make another series about lottery winners. It will be pretty interesting to know how lottery change someone's life.

The camera angles cracked me up...it was like some Jr. High kid saying...let's be cool and shoot it this way. I had such high hopes for that show.

lucky 7 was the lowest rated prime time network show in the history of television. quite a distinction, and it was justified. horrific cast with too many of them to follow with no real storylines. was shot like a reality series rather than a episodic series. poor writing, poor acting, poor camera work and no story at all doomed this weak offering, thus the axe.

I think the British version The Syndicate is way better than Lucky 7 IMHO.

I'm very surprised to hear this. I thought the first show was good but the second show was definately better.

A story about regular folks won't pull as much attention as a show about rich teens or people on these reality shows that are famous for no reason at all. I wonder if the series would have a fair share of unglamorous side stories about the headaches of having all that money drop in your lap made it less appealing. Also wonder with ABC/Disney, if any pressure was brought to bear at the head honcho level by the head honchos of the gaming industries to not show less than fantasy outcomes. There wou... [ More ]

You would think all the lottery Players would of watched it, I am very surprise the show didn't do to well with ratings I thought it would be a hit.. I guess everybody don't like Lottery Shows..They like Scandal

What I don't like is the fact they pull the plug so quickly on shows that they never have a chance to catch on. I thought there was potential in the show and it could have been interesting watching the charcters as they collected the money. Look how cute that shopping scene was last week

When it first came on I watched it for about 1 whole minute ........it had no hooks . It looked like something I had seen before so of course, I changed the channel.

I'm curious as to where their targeted demographic really was

I was hoping Lucky 7 would be a hit show. I wanted the characters to ultimately succeed and be happy especially Matt (the hardworking dad of two and more honest brother) and the plus-size lady with the philandering husband. But, now we will never know. They should just air the episodes they already have in the can.

Figures. As soon as I like something, it gets canceled

Maybe another channel will grab it because 4:57 and 2.81 mill viewers is not bad compared to most reality and even some shows on CBS.

I guess that cast wasn't that lucky afterall.

Why did channel 7 make a series of lottery players. I beleive channel 4, NBC, did a series of about nine players and the series was a flop. I watched it for the first three episodes and then I gave up on the sotry line of the series and also some of the character players. Channel 7, ABC, is way behind CBS and FOX on the lineup. I don't watch any shows from the ABC channel.

Not a surprise cancelation. Wasn't it a network tv show about lottery jackpot winners who never began leading happier lives

I guess it hard to take what could be an interesting news clip or paragraph in the paper and make an equally interesting TV show.

'Lucky 7' canceled: ABC series pulled after two episodes

Lottery Post — Sat, 05 Oct 2013 00:08:21 GMT

Lucky 7's luck has run out, and it is about to endure a lot of jokes about its unfortunate title.

ABC has axed the freshman drama after just two episodes, making it the first cancellation of the 2013-14 season.

ABC knows one thing that's working. Starting Oct. 8, the network will plug repeats of Scandal into Tuesday's 10 p.m. hour. The Shonda Rhimes drama hit series highs in its season-three premiere, jumping a whopping 71 percent from last fall.

The writing was on the wall for Lucky 7.... [ More ]
