Door closes on Opportunity Knocks

ABC's mobile game show gets a whammy, is cancelled after only three episodes. 

All you game-show fans that have been peeking out your curtains just waiting for the Opportunity Knocks bandwagon to show up in your cul-de-sac, you're wasting your time. ABC has cancelled Opportunity Knocks after just three episodes, making it the first ABC show to be swept under the rug.

Opportunity Knocks was a bit of a ratings bummer, averaging just a 1.9 rating and 5 share in the key 18-49 year-old demographic and 6.3 million viewers, according to Variety. It will be replaced on Tuesday nights by a Dancing With the Stars recap. Ouch. ABC is considering airing the remaining episodes later on. 

In case you missed it, Opportunity Knocks was a game show on wheels. The production would literally roll up to contestants' houses, set up in the street, and tape the show with friends and neighbors watching from the sidewalks. The game would test families' knowledge of each other, asking questions such as, "How many girls has little Billy kissed?" J.D. Roth hosted, with Ashton Kutcher one of the producers. 

This is the second cancellation this season, with Fox ditching Do Not Disturb weeks ago.
