Cursed, later renamed
The Weber Show, was an
American sitcom that ran on
NBC from 2000–2001. It starred
Steven Weber,
Amy Pietz,
Wendell Pierce, and
Chris Elliot.
The show is notable for having an abrupt title change in the middle of its first season. The initial premise was that its protagonist (Weber) had been
cursed by an ex-girlfriend and thus constantly encountered bad luck. The show failed to find an audience, and so midway through the season the entire "bad luck" angle was abruptly dropped. The show was revamped as a more traditional sitcom and renamed
The Weber Show. In spite of the change (or perhaps because of it), the show still struggled and was cancelled at the end of the season.
