This title is still in development (ended) — cast, artwork, and dates will fill in as its release nears.

Crowd Rules is an American competition/reality television series, created for and first telecast by the cable channel CNBC for its United States audience. On each episode, three small businesses appeal for the support of a studio audience "crowd" of 100. An audience vote at the end of each program determines which of the companies receives a $50,000 grant to support the growth of its business. The show was pulled from CNBC's schedule after two episodes were aired, with just 47,000 people watching the debut of the first episode and 42,000 watching the second episode. The network said it has not cancelled the series, but has not yet announced a telecast date for the remaining 6 episodes.
