Jane Lynch has had successful runs on Hollywood Game Night and Glee but the same can’t be said for her Angel from Hell sitcom. The CBS TV series has been cancelled after just five episodes reports Deadline. There won’t be a second season and, at this point, it’s unknown if the remaining first season episodes will even air.
Angel From Hell follows what happens when eccentric Amy (Lynch) — a bold, larger-than life woman who claims to be a guardian angel — starts messing with the life of dermatologist Doctor Allison Fuller (Maggie Lawson). Kevin Pollak, and Kyle Bornheimer round out the cast.
The sitcom was initially slated to start airing last November but its debut was delayed until January. The premiere drew a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.13 million viewers. The ratings quickly fell to a 1.3 in the demo with fewer than six million viewers. Word is that there’s also been creative issues behind-the-scenes.
Angel from Hell has been pulled from the schedule and will be replaced by a rerun of The Big Bang Theory this Thursday. Starting next week, 2 Broke Girls will replace the series in the 9:30pm timeslot.
What do you think? Do you like the Angel from Hell TV show? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled? Would you watch the remaining eight installments?
My wife and I loved watching this show! It figures that they cancelled this show in favor of reruns of The Big Bang Theory, which I do not watch! It was funny, witty and interesting to watch! But, that’s what happens when a good show is axed in favor of showing other stupid shows like the horrible Kate plus 8, which we despise! Kate is so fake in her reactions and attitude! Please consider bringing back Angel from Hell! It was so good!
I would love to finish watching the whole season. My bf and I love this show.
Apparently, shows that make you laugh out loud and watch it again after you first watched it to make sure you heard all the jokes, are no longer permitted on TV. This show was great and I am not a Jane Lynch fan. Did not watch Glee and don’t watch Hollywood Game Night because of her. But she was hilarious in this show.
Very funny show. We need more light hearted shows on. Remaining shows should be aired.
Put it back on, it’s better than Criminal Minds and many of us enjoy laughter especially at our age. Please reconsider.
A number of us enjoyed this comedy. I was extremely disappointed that CBS cancelled the show. Laughter is wonderful and all of us would watch Angel from Hell and laugh. We watch a number of shows on CBS and enjoy them. Other shows such as Criminal Minds and Criminal Minds Overseas are not enjoyable for us seniors. Please consider putting Angel from Hell back on.
I was very disappointed that Angel from Hell was cancelled . I thought it displayed Jane Lynch’s comedic genius very well. I wasn’t sure where the show was going, but I didn’t care. I was very entertained from week to week. The line up with Life in Pieces doubled my entertainment pleasure. It was a smart and funny show. I’d look forward to see it come back somewhere.
Jane Lynch was a misfit and given bad lines, not that anybody had good lines. Give the tremendous talent and appeal of Maggie Lawson, why can’t she get good writers and a show with a fighting chance?
They always take away the shows I like. I thought it was smart and funny. Maybe I will cancel cable altogether and just watch Netflix.
I really liked the show, I thought it was funny plus it had some pretty good life lessons, although the guardian angel was little crazy she was what made the show more worth watching, I am pretty upset it got cancelled and frankly I’m getting pretty upset lately a large a lot of newer shows/sitcoms air then get pulled right away without really fully giving it a chance!!! Air the show!! Please!! And thank you!!!!
