'Running Wilde' gets punchy over low ratings

What do you do if your show is not connecting with audiences the way you want it to?If you're the cast of "Running Wilde," you take it. And by "it," we mean a punch in the face from one of your co-stars.
That's what Peter Serafinowicz delivered to Will Arnett as Arnett stewed over the show's meager ratings on set. And what Mel Rodriguez subsequently delivered to Serafinowicz. And then Serafinowicz to himself.
It's pretty funny stuff -- and apparently something of a running gag on the set, as chronicled on Serafinowicz's YouTube page. Take a look at the ratings dustup:
Now, if only the whole of "Running Wilde" could be as consistently amusing ...

Let's hope Running Wilde going to be the next new fall series as a goner in which Raising Hope already got a full season pickup.
Still not sure why Running is less popular than Hope; I find the Arrested-Development style of humor on RW much funnier than the white-trash type humor on RH.
Jesus Running Wilde is hilarious!
Don't get RH. It's so soft it's unwatchable.
Come on! Watch Running Wilde people!!!
Show is hilarious. However I hate hate hate Puddle narrating everything. Oh that guy just discovered he's locked in the freezer thanks for telling me I would have never figured that out. I like it when Norm MacDonald is obvious but when they spell out the stuff in the narration it's just so patronizing. I remember the one time I tried to watch Arrested Development someone picked up a maid in a taxi and drove into the country or something it might have been a funny gag except for that the whole joke was explained in the narration that was the last time I watched Arrested Development.
It should be the Peter Serafinowicz Show. He's the best thing about it. Hilarious. Puddle can stay, too.
Running Wild is unfunny garbage and the 3 million people that turn their tv's off after Raising Hope ends agree with me!
Will Arnett is incredibly funny, Running Wilde is not. The jokes are embarrassingly bad; worse than an open mic. Case in point the notorious ladder scene.
OK, I just finished watching the latest one, with Will washing the car, and that one was funny as hell! Not the most original idea but it was still incredibly funny a good 80% of the time
Oh, and Raising Hope has promise. My only problem with it is when they do the lines where they mispronounce words. Those lines just fall flat.
This show absolutely sucks and yet they have to resort to fisticuffs to garner a rating point? No wonder this show should be or will be canceled soon enough.
pilots always suck.. this is a great series.. fox is an idiot demographic.. i wish hbo would throw hurwitz a bone..
