LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) – UPN’s stab at hip twentysomething comedy has apparently missed its mark.<\/p>\n

The midseason comedies “As If” and “The Random Years” have both been placed on hiatus. They’ll be replaced at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday (March 26) by a repeat of the premiere of “Under One Roof,” UPN’s new reality series.<\/p>\n

The two shows have performed very poorly in the Nielsen ratings, with “As If” averaging only a 1.1\/2 in its two broadcasts and “Random Years” drawing only a 1.0\/2. They’re the two lowest-rated shows on any of the six broadcast networks this season.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, March 12, the two shows aveaged about 1.4 million viewers, losing two-thirds of the audience from their lead-in, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” The two shows were getting a tryout in the post-“Buffy” slot usually occupied by “Roswell,” which is set to return April 23.<\/p>\n

“Roswell” 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 “As If” and “The Random Years.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
