Bad news for those few fans of *Quarterlife*. The new web-based series, which debuted on NBC this week, gained little ground for target demographic 18-49 year-olds. Nielsen Media research found that the show, which premiered Tuesday at 10 PM, drew phenomenally low ratings, the lowest for the 10 PM time slot in about 20 years. Reuters reports that sources close to those in charge of the show say that the show will be booted from NBC's main lineup, but will be moved to Bravo. Bravo is known for having grown in chicness over the past few years with the success of such shows as *Project Runway*, *Millionaire Matchmaker* and *America's Top Model*. *Quarterlife* centers on the life experiences of a group of young artists. The series originally began being shown by social networking site MySpace.com, and was picked up by NBC amid the Hollywood writers' strike.
