NBC has chopped "The Chopping Block" off its primetime schedule, effective immediately.
Peacock will instead run repeats of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. starting April 1. NBC said it still hoped to bring the show back at a later date.
Decision to yank "Block" comes after the show posted an unappetizing 0.9 rating and 2 share among adult 18-49 -- and just 2.6 million viewers overall.
The cooking competish, hosted by U.K. chef Marco Pierre White, comes from Granada America
