The Will was an American reality television series on CBS that lasted only one episode, shown on Saturday, January 8, 2005. It centered on the 'Benefactor', a multi-millionaire from Arizona named Bill Long. Ten of his friends and relatives competed in a series of challenges to win the right to inherit his "prized possession", a huge Kansas ranch.

The show was created by Mike Fleiss, who produced The Bachelor for ABC. The Will is one of only a handful of series in American history to be pulled after one episode. The show perhaps most associated with this phenomenon is the 1969 series Turn-On.

In the case of The Will, cancellation was due to very low ratings. Despite receiving a heavy promotional push from CBS, the program averaged only 4.2 million viewers during its 8:00-9:30PM ET/PT time slot, which made it CBS's lowest-ranked show of the week. The following Saturday, the network replaced it with a re-run of Cold Case, a crime drama.

The quick cancellation of The Will was lampooned on an episode of the ABC late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live with a montage of clips from the show, and the message "Will Miss You--January 8, 2005 - January 8, 2005."

It has been reported that the remaining five episodes may appear on a US cable network in the future, but as of summer 2006 there has been no official announcement to this effect. It was formerly seen on the In2TV website. The series aired in New Zealand from December 2005 in an evening slot. New Zealand audiences were able to witness the show's contestants being whittled down to Penny, Billy, Bette and Scott in the final week, with Long's wife, Penny - largely considered the villainess of the series - winning the final round.

Will centers on a high school outcast and a popular girl who form an unlikely bond through their shared love of music. Assembling a like-minded crew of misfits, the friends form a rock group and perform in the battle of the bands competition at their school. Written by anonymous

The world Josh and Michael used to know is gone. Their days are filled with endless darkness as they struggle to maintain the will to survive, hopeful that one day the world will be safe enough to walk out the door and again feel the light on their faces. Their window to the outside is Ralph. He is their rescuer. Their protector. Their friend. Ralph describes the world outside as a "hell" that has been visited upon the earth, and that they are safer inside, out of the storm. Josh is certain that he and his brother would not have survived without his aid, and continued protection. Josh and Michael have much to be thankful for. Or so they believe. Written by Elvis Murks
