Denise Richards

We aren’t exactly shocked to hear that Denise Richards’ reality show, It’s Complicated, has been canceled given that we must have been part of the cause. A source told The Insider (reported via the New York Post): "The numbers started out pretty good--just over 1.5 million tuned in for the premiere episode…But the audience has dropped off.” We’re ashamed to admit it, but that audience included us. We stopped watching after we realized that a central plot point of the show involved Ms. Richards cleaning up her pets' poop, outside and inside her house.
