Titans is an American prime time soap opera that debuted on October 4, 2000, on NBC. Thirteen episodes were filmed, of which eleven were actually aired. Produced by Aaron Spelling, the series was initially marketed as a "Dynasty for the new millennium," attempting to emulate the style of Spelling's earlier hit series. However, low ratings led NBC to cancel the series before its first season was completed.

Synopsis

Aviation magnate Richard Williams (Perry King) is engaged to the much-younger Heather (Yasmine Bleeth), but is unaware that she previously had an affair with his son, Chandler (Casper Van Dien). A pilot, Chandler is unsure whether he should tell his father the truth, but Chandler soon discovers that Heather is pregnant with his child. Meanwhile, Heather clashes with Richard's former wife Gwen (Victoria Principal), who lives in a mansion across the street. After Richard and Heather marry, Chandler's scheming brother Peter (John Barrowman) finds out about her affair with Chandler.

Broadcast

Titans premiered on Wednesday, October 4, 2000, before the season two premiere of The West Wing.[5] Titans attracted 11.6 million viewers and delivered key demographics for NBC,[5] but ratings for the second and third episodes declined significantly.[7][9] They climbed again for subsequent episodes,[10][11] to a high of 8.5 for the sixth episode.[12] Around this time, four additional episodes were ordered.[6] The show averaged 8 million viewers over its initial eight weeks, ranking 83rd overall.[36]

Titans was moved to Mondays starting with its ninth episode on December 4, 2000, taking over the timeslot previously held by cancelled new sitcoms Daddio and Tucker.[6] Ed, a dramedy which had premiered the same week as Titans and was also suffering from declining ratings, moved into the vacant Wednesday slot.[6] While Ed saw ratings improvement,[16] Titans attracted only 6.6 million viewers for its Monday debut, and was effectively canceled the next day with the announcement that NBC would not be ordering additional episodes.[17] Though the remaining four produced episodes were expected to be aired,[17] only two were broadcast in the United States, the last on December 18, 2000.

Reception

John Kiesewetter of The Cincinnati Enquirer called the series "a mindless soap about filthy-rich, amoral people" but added, "As much as I wanted to hate Titans, I couldn't stop watching. Perhaps Mr. Spelling and Mr. Vincent have reinvented Dynasty, creating a Young and the Shirtless for the new millennium."[18] David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun called the acting "stunningly bad", citing Principal as "the one saving grace on the show".[19] Phil Gallo of Variety singled out Bleeth as "eminently watchable".[1] Despite the show's low ratings, Entertainment Weekly{{'s}} Kristen Baldwin called its cancellation "a mistake", suggesting that viewership would have grown over time.[20] Media ad buying executive Bob Flood admitted to Variety after the show's cancellation, "We thought Titans would be better than it turned out to be."[21]
