NEW YORK (AP) — Tony Robbins' reality show has been pulled from NBC's schedule after just two airings.
The network says reruns of the game show "Minute to Win It" will claim the Tuesday-night slot vacated by "Breakthrough With Tony Robbins."
The Nielsen Co. says this week's airing of "Breakthrough" drew an audience of only 2.8 million viewers.
On "Breakthrough," inspirational speaker Robbins helped couples overcome tough challenges. The series had been originally scheduled for six episodes.
NBC said Wednesday that reruns of "Minute to Win It" will start next week.

August 5, 2010 at 11:03AM EST Reply to CommentIt was interesting to see his methods at work after all these years of infomercials. I guess NBC saw we we all could see - its a just a lot of hype! Ride a mig, get scared on skid row and heres a job with my buddy that you have no experience for. Like that would work in the real world. Check out his Breakthrough site - 7 pages of comments and only one is negative???
