US TV drama, Viva Laughlin, starring Hugh Jackman is being pulled from American TV network, CBS after only two episodes.

The show was adapted from the popular British series, Blackpool, but the success obviously did not translate from one version to another.

The show had succeeded in generating lots of hype prior to launch, but acheived only a minuscule 1.2 rating in the 18-to-49 demographic for its premiere on Sunday.
