MTV has cancelled a host of unscripted series, including The Almost Impossible Game Show, Acting Out, Prison High, Air Sex, Down to Earth and Stupid Man, Smart Phone, with more to follow.
Per THR:
The third leader of the youth-targeting network in the past two years has led Viacom sibling VH1 to its biggest ratings growth in 15 years in 2016 and hopes to bring MTV back into the daily conversation. That means eliminating several unscripted series that don’t resonate with his brand vision, including Prison High, Air Sex, Almost Impossible Game Show, Acting Out, Down to Earth and Stupid Man, Smart Phone, with more potentially joining them on the scrap heap as McCarthy looks to focus more on quality and less on quantity. (Safe for now are shows that are working that hit the right notes — like ratings hit Teen Mom, though that could be refreshed in the spirit of early episodes of flagship 16 and Pregnant.)
RIP.

Super sad, i took part in the almost impossible game show, and me and the other contestants were waiting on seeing our episode, and watching the rest of the seasons.
