Never watched the TV show since I felt it was for girls but I'm not totally shocked that it flopped. I am rather surprised at how quickly they pulled it though. I don't think I've ever heard of a movie getting yanked that fast.

And I used to work at a theater for a few years so I've seen quite a few movies that quickly vanished like the Thunderbirds and Josie and the Pussycats and even they had better staying power than that. They usually got "downgraded" to smaller theaters, fewer showtimes, etc.; but even really bad films last about a month. It really says something that it stunk so bad that they did this. It might actually eclipse the legendary Howard the Duck film as one of the worst films ever made.
