MTV Cancels Controversial ‘Skins’

 MTV Cancels Controversial ‘Skins’


MTV has canceled the controversial teen drama ‘Skins,’ reports CTV.


The show won’t be back for another season, so says the network, because it “didn’t connect with a U.S. audience as much as we had hoped,” MTV spokesman Nathaniel Brown says.


The short-lived show received heavy criticism for its racy nature and use of drug, alcohol and sex that were prominent on the show. Many groups felt the young actors violated child pornography laws and advertisers began pulling their commercials from the series.


‘Skins’ premiered in January as an American version of the British hit, but an initial audience of 3.3 million viewers sank to 1.2 million viewers for the season finale.


Another one bites the dust – will you miss it? I never got into the show, but I heard that the American version was never as good as the British series.
