Backpackers - new sitcom

Anyone watch this on CW ?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3147542/reference

In an attempt to get over a serious case of cold feet, Backpackers finds recently engaged Ryan (Noah Reid, Titanic) and Beth (Meghan Heffern, Almost Heroes) embarking on separate European adventures leading up to their wedding. While traveling they are free to act single, adopting the mantra "what happens in Europe, stays in Europe." But hours into Ryan's adventure with his party animal and womanizing best friend Brandon (Dillon Casey, Nikita), he realizes he's made a huge mistake and sets off in search of her. The only problem is he has no idea where she could be - they never exchanged itineraries. This marks the start of a wild adventure that takes the duo to the Amalfi coast, Rome, Berlin, Prague and Paris as they search for Beth, try to avoid an annoying Aussie, dodge a homicidal maniac and fit in a little action on the way.

From the two episodes i've seen, its not too bad, but i'm not sure where it is supposed to be heading stylewise. Not sure if it's trying to be Eurotrip or Hostel !

Cancelled

The CW and comedies don't mix, especially in the summer.

Drats. I enjoyed Seed. I'll have to get my hands on the Canadian episodes.

This thread piqued, then deflated my interest within the span of three seconds.
