ABC has closed its doors on Opportunity Knocks, making it the network's first show to be swept under the rug and the second new series to be pulled from the fall schedule following the FOX comedy Do Not Disturb.

The traveling game show was a bit of a disappointment during its run, averaging only a 1.9 rating and a 5 share among its target audience, adults 18-49. It's also only averaged 6.3 million viewers, which may seem like a lot, but serving as a lead in to the results show of Dancing with the Stars, which is presently one of TV's most popular programs, it's simply lackluster.

Reality show producer Ashton Kutcher has something up his sleeve yet again! The 30-year-old actor recently came up with Opportunity Knocks, a reality series which challenges family members on how well they know each other. The series was picked up by ABC and will be airing on Tuesdays at 8pm.

In preparation for the show, Kutcher tried the same principle on his wife and stepchildren. In fact, he recently told OK! Magazine at the TCA Conference, "I got into the process of how well do you know your family. If somebody came and asked me what kind of perfume my wife wears every single day, could I tell you that answer? I could tell you."
