it did not knock the socks off of any of the people who were in a position to bring it in

That is how I read his comment -- that it did not impress anyone (producers or critics) who were in a position to further its life. I don't think he literally meant that not a single person on the planet was impressed.

The linkage between a reaction and an investment decision is fallacious. One could at the same time "have one's socks knocked off" and still conclude it is not a likely commercial venture. Look at the reactions to the incoming Side Show --- great reviews in DC, but dubious prospects at the St. James.

Maybe. Or maybe it mightily impressed some producers but they declined to bring it in because the New York Times critic (Isherwood) didn't like it.

That may have been what he meant, but if so, I wish he said it more clearly.
