LIVE with Kelly and Mark fans are calling for the show to be canceled after only just one week of airing.
Viewers have admitted they’ve had enough of the “cringe-worthy” show after Ryan Seacrest left as host and Mark Consuelos took over.

If fans got their wish and the morning show wrapped up for good, they shared they have one more request on what would fill its place on the schedule.
One suggestion tossed out was to extend the runtime of ABC’s The View from one hour to two and let it replace Kelly Ripa and husband Mark’s Live.
This might be able to fix the schedule issue in some markets, but Live is a syndicated program and doesn’t air on ABC in all locations.
Though, as the era of Live with Kelly and Mark has only just begun, and the long-running show is one of the top daytime programs, it’s unlikely suggestions for a schedule change are even needed.
Still, one annoyed fan wrote on Twitter: “’Kelly & Mark LIVE’ gives off some kind of chemistry between the hosts.
“Not an entertaining kind that motivates viewers to watch, but the adolescent high school kind that creates an unintended STINK bomb in the chemistry lab.
“Make ‘The VIEW’ a longer show & retire ‘LIVE.’”
Another viewer blasted: “Live is cringe worthy, definitely a big mistake.”

“Too much PDA,” a third social media user wrote of the new hosts. “What’s with touching Kelly’s leg/knee all the time?? Cut it out.”
A fourth said: “Honestly I loved Ryan, I’m sad to see him go! I find the dynamic of #KellyandMark unprofessional.”
Mark officially joined his wife Kelly as a host of Live on Monday, April 17, after Ryan had his final episode a few days earlier.
Live critics have been calling for the talk show to get canceled since its new iteration began, especially after the show aired multiple previously recorded episodes just in its first week.
Viewers blasted the talk show and its hosts as a “joke” for not following through on a key aspect of the morning program.
One upset viewer tweeted: “All the ‘previously recorded’ starts! Where they don’t say it’s NOT Live.”
A second blasted: “Fourth show and already Live @kellymarklive isn’t.
“Why not just record five in one day and call it a week? #youknowyouwantto.”
