Hardly the first. Emeril's Sitcom was canceled before two commercial breaks and it was rather successful in the "failure to launch" genre.Catalyst6 said:

Plus, I'm being a bit hypocritical. I really, really want to work as a game tester over the summer. =PFormica Archonis said:
Of course, I know it's not all fun and games. I've been told *illions of times.
Only time I've had fun testing is on indie projects, since the programmer(s) is/are usually very accessible and attentive. Of course, I also didn't get paid for any of that.Sturmdolch said:
Hacking is doing something interesting with code. Cracking is circumventing, infiltrating or otherwise penetrating a security system. If they can't even get the basic terminology correct, I don't know how this will in any way be quality entertainment. Oh, right. "Reality" show. Never mind.
As a computer scientist I understand that watching someone do anything with computers when you don't know what's going on is like watching paint dry. It may be exciting for some people but most everyone else will be bored stiff. I'm not sure how they'll make it interesting (Actually I do, stupid drama garbage that makes no sense) but I'm interesting in hearing when this show goes down as an incredible ratings bomb.
WooHOO! Reality TV has finally filled the gap that only CSPAN and watching paint dry has been doing for all those that suffer from sleep deprivation.
