If the Post is even close to accurate, the show's running costs balooned from $545,000 to $700,000.

OK. Lets assume the running costs were that high from day one. Their average adjusted gross (not the reported gross gross) for 43 weeks of the run was $980,000 a week.

So the show should have averaged a return of around $250,000 a week, conservatively - for 43 weeks.

Do the math - weekly surplus of $250K, 43 weeks = $10,750,000. A 76% return. Not 20%.

A 20% return means that the show has only earned back $2,800,000. That would mean that the average weekly net operating profit was only $65,000. There is no way that is true - unless the show was actually spending around $900,000 a week.

Investors certainly have the right to say WTF - especially after the recent mismanagement of casting, and inability of producers to find a way to keep a show grossing around $1 million or more a week from simply dissolving overnight.
