Pete Rose: Hits & Mrs. is an American reality television series on TLC that chronicled the lives of baseball player Pete Rose, his fiancée Kiana Kim, and Kim's two children, Cassie and Ashton.[1][2][3] On July 18, 2012, TLC announced the series started production for a six-episode first season. Amy Winter, general manager of TLC, said "This series will open the door into a very modern family dynamic of trying to blend families when your kids are no longer children, and when your private life is in the public spotlight".[4] The series debuted on January 13, 2013.[5] After airing four episodes, it was stated that the last two episodes would be shelved until the 2013 baseball season started.[6] Despite that statement, the final episodes aired on TLC's sister channel Destination America during a Sunday morning marathon and the network has no plans to air any reruns of the series, thus announcing its cancellation.[7]
