24. Dirty Dancing
Step away from social media, we don’t need any hate for this. Remember, we’re talking about the television series and not the classic hit movie. For some, the lesson of not messing with a good thing comes when it is far too late. A spin-off is already a gamble for any series, but to do one for a hit movie without any of the original cast, remains a recipe for disaster.

The LA Times certainly didn’t have “the time of their lives” while reviewing this one. The paper iconically wrote that the show “plays like an extended shampoo commercial” which, to the appreciation of viewers from across the country, led to its demise after a measly 11 episodes.

The list of problems on ABC’s Work It is so long that it’s really difficult to find a good place to start. Firstly, the premise itself left everyone confused.

The show didn’t earn favor with LGBTQ activists or the community as a whole either, which led to a resounding roar following its cancellation after just two episodes. As it turns out, male actors pretending to be women in a show about work led to a bunch of cast and crew losing their jobs. The world works in strange ways.
