So, I watched as much of the show as I could stand and that wasn’t much. I was vaguely interested in it from the blogging and the Internet aspects but I guess I’m too old to be interested in the lives of twenty somethings who are so self-absorbed and narcissistic.

The debut of NBC’s new series “quarterlife” marked the network’s worst time-period performance in at least 17 years and has thrown the show’s fate into imminent jeopardy.

Premiering Tuesday night at 10 p.m., “quarterlife” received a 1.3 national rating among adults 18 to 49 (3.1 million viewers and a 4 share). The show came in a distant last place in the hour despite having a relatively strong lead-in from “The Biggest Loser” (8.1 million, 3.1/8).
The show had a preliminary rating of 1.6 this morning, then dropped sharply in the afternoon nationals after Nielsen factored local station pre-emptions from the Democratic primary debate.
Though no official cancellation has been announced, sources say the series may be yanked after a single airing — a rare event that previously occurred when Fox axed “Anchorwoman” last summer.
