The One" is done. ABC has pulled the plug on the singing competish, barely one week after it bowed to disastrous Nielsen numbers. Skein’s July 18 premiere goes down as the lowest-rated adults 18-49 debut for a reality show (a 1.1 demo rating/3 share) in modern TV history.The Alphabet nonetheless aired three more episodes of "The One: Making a Superstar" (plus a repeat of the two-hour premiere) in the hope that ratings might improve. Instead, they declined even further — and Thursday morning, ABC execs decided they’d had enough.Cancellation, while expected after last week’s numbers, leaves ABC with a big scheduling hole to fill between now and mid-September, when "The One" was slated to wrap. There’s no word yet on what ABC will air in its place.
