ABC's Wipeout Clears Season-Renewal Obstacle
Wipeout by Adam Larkey/ABC
Wipeout
, in which players brave the world's largest "extreme obstacle course" - and in doing so subject themselves to spills, face plants and, yes, wipeouts - has been picked up for a second season.
Through the first six (of 10 first-season) telecasts,
Wipeout and its big red balls ranks as the summer's No. 2 show in total viewers and in adults 18-49, trailing only
America's Got Talent and
Hell's Kitchen, respectively.
Wipeout also has delivered the best key demos of a freshman summer series on
any network in three years, since the initial season of
Dancing with the Stars. -
