The Paramount+ series Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies has been canceled after just one season, making it the latest woke TV show to fall flat with audiences.
To add insult to injury, Paramount+ will remove the series from its platform, effectively erasing any trace of its existence. The cost-saving decision — the studio will presumably reap tax benefits while also saving on residuals and administrative expenses — is an indication of just how few people were streaming the show.
Pink Ladies creator Annabel Oakes posted a desperate message to her Instagram Stories Friday, blasting the studio’s decision.
“In a particularly brutal move, it is also being removed from @paramountplus next week and unless it finds a new home you will no longer be able to watch it anywhere,” she wrote. “The cast, my creative partners, and I are all devastated at the complete erasure of our show.”
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies was intended as prequel to the popular 1978 movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John, which itself was set during the late 1950s. But the show’s creative team imposed a woke anachronistic interpretation on Rydell High School, creating lesbian kissing scenes and focusing on the racial identity politics of ethnic minority characters.

Like the Cosby Show, Family Matters, and countless others over the years, all of which were popular in middle America.
Don't make nonsense up.
But... Does anybody actually watch it? I don’t even know who RuPaul is... So I can guarantee you that I haven’t.
Filmed at the same time, in the same town, with many crossover locations and characters. It was an interesting concept.
Both of these shows air on MeTV - just need an antenna to get it for free.
there's no excuse for you.

Did you not read the article and comments?
I did. Did you not read the lucid, intelligent, well thought-out objections to your silly accusations posited by our fellow Freepers?

Case closed.
Basket case is more like it.
Like I said...it is one of this network's flagship series. Appears in much of its advertising prominently as one of its biggest hits and defines the streaming service. People who subscribe to this service fund and participate in its production, and contribute to its affects on our culture.
I watch it free on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHJH6n1h93k
I mean, how many top rated sitcoms with primarily a black cast have we had going back decades that were hugely popular in middle America? It was a totally absurd argument to make.
Well, good. The first Grease was nostalgic and fun. This one was just a woke, stupid cheap imitation.
It was worse than absurd. It was EXACTLY what the cultural Marxists have been brainwashing the boobocracy to believe about normal Americans.
>Americans in middle America are not too keen on seeing minorities on their tv shows.
No trolling, please.
People don’t want the constant victimhood parade nonsense and *paying* to hear people screech hatred towards them. Imagine that. Moreso now that it’s become obvious to everyone that it’s not just a downtrodden equality thing but an organized, one-sided, push to destroy the country for people of every skin.
Good bye Disney wokoids. Be seeing you, Pink whatevers. So long, Target (and doubly so now that the lefty AGs will sue them if they don’t selfdestruct with rainbow crap). Auf wiedersehn, Anheiser-Busch.
Quite true.
“There’s a little hotel called “The Shady Rest’’ at the Junction....’’
We don’t want to see lesbian and other woke scenes.
Awww, nanny nanny boo boo, smug b~tch. #Lern2Code
I watch it free on youtube.

It what? What Petticoat Junction?
It’s true. People were outraged over Cinderella having a POC. They complain that commercials have black actors. They complain that hallmark added black people as leads. They complained Charlie’s angles added a few non white leads. Shall I go on?
This shit is unwatchable.

Someone posted a meme that I cannot remember where I saw it that read:
“why doesn’t Argentina have more blacks on its soccer team?
The answer was, “Because we are a country. not a Disney movie.”
