Cheap Seats - Season Four and The End of Cheap Seats

Season Four and The End of Cheap Seats

The fourth season of Cheap Seats began airing on June 5, 2006. The season premiere was 1996 Spelling Bee: Part II. There was a special titled This is Inside Cheap Seats that aired on April 17, 2006 which looked at the behind the scenes of Cheap Seats, though most of the content was fictional. This special is part of Season 4 despite airing before that season's premier.

In the "Fall Preview" article in the September 25, 2006 issue of ESPN The Magazine, the Sklars announced that

The finale aired on November 19, 2006 at 7 p.m. Eastern Time and included racquetball, amateur bowling, curling, model airplane racing, and ping-pong. The episode's main focus was on the Sklars fictitiously getting a job as anchors on ESPN's SportsCenter. However, it turned out they weren't hired to be anchors, but as errand boys to do the anchors' bidding, causing the brothers to consider going back to the show, which was currently being hosted by then New York Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon (a Cheap Seats fan) and the "Score Settler," a character from the series, as the apparent new hosts of the show, but the stint was short when the Score Settler reacted furiously after Damon stole one of his lines. Before the last episode, ESPN Classic presented 12 previous episodes in a six hour "finale-a-thon."

Cheap Seats reruns currently air on ESPN Classic. The reruns appear quite sporadically, with no set time slot. Selected episodes from the first season are available for purchase through the iTunes Store.
