A widely panned American sitcom featuring Rhys Darby has been cancelled after just two episodes - but it's not the Kiwi comedian's fault.
Darby starred in How to be a Gentleman alongside Entourage's Kevin Dillon and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia's David Hornsby - but the show has been axed
after just the second episode aired in America.
Network CBS pulled the plug on the sitcom about a magazine etiquette writer after poor ratings and terrible reviews, moving the show's final seven episodes out of prime time and into a Saturday night slot.
It had just a 42 per cent rating on review aggregate site Metacritic, but Darby - in his first major TV role since Flight of the Conchords - was singled out by reviewers as the show's best asset.
Robert Canning from IGN from said Darby was "the only true bright spot in the pilot episode".
