The fall 2013 television season has crowned its first casualty: ABC's Lucky 7.
The lottery-themed drama that focused on co-workers winning the jackpot didn't score any winnings with audiences. Lucky 7 was up against some tough opponents in the 10 pm time slot, Tuesday nights. This past Tuesday was the show's second episode and viewership dropped 50 percent from its premiere last week. In other words, most who watched the unlucky drama disliked it so much that they didn't bother returning for a second helping.
Network television hasn't had much luck with lottery-themed dramas. The last one to air prior to Lucky 7 was NBC's Windfall. The Luke Perry-led drama only lasted for 13 episodes after numerous pre-emptions and shifting around led to its cancellation. Guess America doesn't really care to watch regular joes winning millions and suffering everyday problems.
ABC will air Scandal recaps effective immediately, and production on the set will shut down by next week.
