Fox is revising its two-hour Tuesday night comedy block, halting production on the freshman effort Ben and Kate just days after pulling the show from its winter schedule. After bowing Sept. 25 to 4.21 million viewers and a 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demo, Ben and Kate began taking on water. By week four, the show was drawing just 2.70 million viewers and a 1.2 in the demo.
Fox on Wednesday pulled the freshman sibling comedy Ben and Kate, which had been the weakest player, ratings-wise, in its two-hour Tuesday comedy block. B&K was averaging about 3.1 million viewers (factoring in DVR viewing).
