The alphabet network has dropped two of its unsuccessful midseason replacement series, Miss Guided and Cashmere Mafia. Based on their ratings, neither comes as much of a surprise.
Miss Guided centers around Becky Freeley (Judy Greer) as she starts working as a guidance counselor at her old high school. The single-camera sitcom debuted in March and ran for seven episodes. The premiere attracted less than 10 million viewers and dropped week after week. The final episode attracted just 4.3 million, ranking fourth in its timeslot. Though the series seemed an obvious choice for cancellation, the sitcom was reportedly being considered for renewal up until earlier today.
Mafia comes from Darren Starr’s production company and was compared with Sex in the City, though usually not kindly. The series focuses on four successful women who support each other in their business careers and personal lives. Critical reaction to the show wasn’t enthusiastic. The premiere attracted a decent 10.7 million viewers but the second episode drew under 6.2 million. The ratings continued to drop and the finale attracted just 4.8 million.
Now that Mafia’s been canned, Lucy Liu is expected to move to Dirty Sexy Money. ABC already renewed Money for season two and it’s expected to return in September. Stay tuned!

I really, truly enjoyed watching Cashmere Mafia.
It was a change of pace to see women coming out on top.
And I came to love the four best friends – it’s just really refreshing.
It’s a pity they got cancelled.
I hope ABC renews it…. I wonder if there’s any chance of that happening.
I love it !!!!! Why they didn’t produce season 2…. I watched it all day all nite .Now, I can remember all dialog absolutely. I miss you. Mia, hot chocolate “L” , Zoe ,Juliet.
