ABC has found some great success with their family comedy series. Several have been cancelled along the way but the network has managed to successfully fill numerous timeslots with sitcoms. How will the American Housewife TV show perform? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
American Housewife revolves around an average wife and mom, Katie (Katy Mixon), who does her best to stand out from the “perfect” housewives and their privileged children of Westport. Katie’s husband (Diedrich Bader) is a logical guy and supports her in every way he can, including working to ensure that their children (Meg Donnelly, Daniel DiMaggio, and Julia Butters) do not end up like everyone else in their neighborhood. Katie’s friends are played by Carly Hughes and Ali Wong.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Worst show ever. I am sick of them portraying Norwalk as a town full of poor people and kids that are stupid! Insulting and not funny. Too bad because it has a great cast. Lousy writers.
Please renew! I didn’t love the show at first, but now I’m hooked. Every new episode is better than last. By Friday I’m already eager for Tuesday’s new episode! When it comes to ratings, please keep in mind alot of us might be recording the show on dvr. As a mom, I’m pretty busy in the evenings cooking dinner, helping with homework, bath times, etc. I can almost never watch at 7:30. Thanks!
The whole family loves it. Please keep it coming.
This show is brilliant, so witty, and I can identify with the main character as I live in an upscale New England community, am overweight with a special needs child. It really speaks for those of us walking in her dansko clogs. It makes me feel supported while giving me some much needed laughs at the same time. I say yes, she can represent me to the world! Take that you snobby neighbors– I hope you watch this show! Keep it coming!!!! Renew for another season!!!!
Renew! This is my pick me up show when I am down. So much I can relate to. My daughter just said she is sad I am fat because mommies shouldn’t be. They aren’t fat on tv…
American Housewife is the best comedy on tv, I love it! Please don’t cancel it.
