NBC felt they should have had a hit on their hands with Up All Night, starring Will Arnett and Christina Applegate, which caused them to continually attempt to retool the show until they drove off Applegate and were left with nothing.  The show debuted in 2011 with Arnett as a stay at home dad and Applegate as a producer on a TV talk show.  When the show did not set the ratings world on fire, the show was retooled, putting Arnett’s character back to work and having Applegate lose her job and stay home with the baby.  When that didn’t work, the plan was to convert from the show from a single-camera show to a traditional multi-camera sitcom, shot in front of a live audience.  This proved to be one retool too many, as Applegate and the show’s creator jumped ship, and the show was quietly put to sleep.
