They&#8217;ll be replaced at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday (March 26) by a repeat of the premiere of &#8220;Under One Roof,&#8221; UPN&#8217;s new reality series.<\/p>\n<p>The two shows have performed very poorly in the Nielsen ratings, with &#8220;As If&#8221; averaging only a 1.1\/2 in its two broadcasts and &#8220;Random Years&#8221; drawing only a 1.0\/2. They&#8217;re the two lowest-rated shows on any of the six broadcast networks this season.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, March 12, the two shows aveaged about 1.4 million viewers, losing two-thirds of the audience from their lead-in, &#8220;Buffy the Vampire Slayer.&#8221; The two shows were getting a tryout in the post-&#8220;Buffy&#8221; slot usually occupied by &#8220;Roswell,&#8221; which is set to return April 23.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Roswell&#8221; has struggled in the ratings some this season as well, airing in perhaps the most competitive hour of the week. But it still averaged almost double the rating (2.0\/3) and twice the number of total viewers (3 million) of &#8220;As If&#8221; and &#8220;The Random Years.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Roswell episode will air on April 23, 2002.
