NBC's '1600 Penn' Panned on Twitter After Sneak Peek

NBC will debut a new comedy “1600 Penn” on Jan. 10, about a first family that’s not only unpresidential but also somewhat dysfunctional. Viewers given a sneak peak at the program in an extended promo during “NBC Sunday Night Football” were less than impressed.

“1600 Penn” quickly started trending on Twitter during the promo, but not because those watching the clip liked what they were seeing. Actually, it was quite the opposite.

The vitriol flowed on Twitter over the program, with almost no users defending or praising it from what they could see on the promo

Here are some of the best Tweets:

My question about 1600 Penn is whether it will be canceled after the first episode or the first commercial break.

That 1600 Penn show looks horrible. Bill Pullman will never beat his performance as a president from Independence Day.

1600 Penn is going to be on TV... but Arrested Development had to be canceled.

Gotta be terrible to be @nbc execs and see 1600 Penn trending only b/c people are ripping it.

If that "look at us walking and talking" scene is best clip NBC has to promo "1600 Penn", do us all a favor- cancel it now. #lame #notfunny

Seems like NBC was banking on a Romney victory when they green lighted 1600 Penn. Awkward.
