Pretty funny seeing dreck from the dreckmasters at NBC and Playboy flop like this.

(Although I never did actually “see” any of it.)

The Playboy porn empire aggressively swung for the fences, pushing the NBC show everywhere,

They should have pushed the writers to write something that wasn't crap. Lame attempt to cash in on "Mad Men".

Network TV is much more female oriented, I am not surprised it flopped. Sure there are guys that watch network TV, but there are still significantly more women then men. I think Hugh Hefner might have been right if it had gone to cable it could have done better.

There has been an enormous push in recent years to promote Hugh Hefner - not just this show, but also several reality TV shows and lots of talk show appearances, movie cameos, etc.

I understand why the media has a direct interest in promoting hedonism - but while this doddering, creepy pervert represents the truth of hedonism, he is an absolutely terrible advertisement for it. I don't get it.

Amber Heard is gay? Hmm.

Got to vote not guilty on that one . . .

I didn’t know anything about the show and I pay no attention to network tv (haven’t seen any series show in several years), but it is most entertaining to read about this collapse. Serves the scumbags right.

btw, how did the morons ever think that getting a “Playboy Club” show entwined in a gay rights agenda with gay/lesbian actors in lead roles could possibly catch on with the needed demographics?? Gays aren’t going to care about this show, and healthy hetero males are not going to be interested in this approach...... a very big LOL.

We little boys grew up and taught our sons decency and morality.

The same attempt to "bring back the old days" with this so-called Wall Street protest will also fall flat on its face.

It's almost humorous to see these excercises in futile theater

I’m still shocked they picked up “Whitney”, the pilot was of a lower quality than my local community theater. A bunch of unknown stand up circuit comedians with their feet stuck in cement, making parody of parody jokes about relationships while wildly flailing their arms about is not a television sitcom.

Playboy clubs, like all strip clubs, were never anything but havens for pathetic losers whose idea of hot sex was looking at a woman. Or being seen with one. I can’t imagine why anybody thought a TV show based on that premise would prosper.

How can an industry that survives on public consumption so consistently and grossly misread the consuming public? The only thing I can think of is that this video vomit is developed in a vacuum and promotes some ideal enshrined in the narrow corridors of Hollywood but nowhere else.

Hawaii Five-o reruns are beating them? Wow, It must be a real stinker.

I thought the playboy club went the way of “highballs”. Or was this a sort of “Mad Men” type of thing?

I just read the article. I feel like I have just awakened in a parallel universe that makes me want to vomit. I am dumbstruck that such people, as well as plots, get any notice of our society and that the activity can be viewed as anything but repugnant.

Getting rid of TV over a decade ago has given me an apparently unique perspective. Our culture has significantly coursened.

If you are going to do a sexually themed show it is never gonna work on broadcast TV with it’s standards and restrictions. It needs to be on pay cable where people who would be offended have the option not to subscribe.

Playboy owns 2 hardcore porn channels, this show was just to go after the youth.

IOW the homosexual agenda killed the playboy club. This will also kill DVD sales.
