After posting a series low in the ratings last night, ABC has decided against ordering additional episodes of Dirty Sexy Money. Does that mean it’s cancelled?
Dirty Sexy Money follows nice-guy lawyer Nick George (Peter Krause) who takes over his late father’s only client, the wealthy and powerful Darling family. Tripp Darling (Donald Sutherland) is incredibly influential but is living proof that money isn’t everything. His relationships with his wife Letitia (Jill Clayburgh) and their five grown children is sometimes shaky at best. His adult children are politician Patrick (William Baldwin), promiscuous Karen (Natalie Zea), corrupt clergyman Brian (Glenn Fitzgerald), and immature, party-loving twins Jeremy (Seth Gabel) and Juliet (Samaire Armstrong). Other characters are played by Blair Underwood, Zoe McLellan, Lucy Liu, Will Shadley, Laura Margolis, Bellamy Young, Candis Cayne, Shawn Michael Patrick, Chloe Moretz, Sheryl Lee, Andrea Smithson, and Daniel Cosgrove.
Money debuted in September 2007 on ABC. The premiere episode attracted 10.44 million people and a 3.6/12 rating /share of the 18-49 demographic. The following episodes dropped considerably in the ratings but ABC decided to take a chance and renewed Money for a second season.
Since its return on October 1st, the ratings haven’t gotten any better. Last night’s viewership represented a series low. As a result, ABC has decided against ordering any additional episodes for the season, effectively cancelling the show. There’s a slight chance that Money could return in the future but, with its ratings history, that’s not likely to happen.
The cast and crew are currently finishing up shooting the final episode. It’s not known if it will include any kind of closure for the show’s ongoing storylines.
For now, Money remains on the ABC schedule. If the network pulls it before airing all of the episodes, they’ll likely be released online or, at the very least, be issued on DVD. Stay tuned!

BRING IT BACK! ITS AMAZING!
I’m furious it’s gone – I love it!!
seriously?!.. Dear ABC, when you cancel a show and bring it back with little to no hype, of course the ratings are going to go down! Not to mention when everyone finally started to get back on board there was already talk of them canceling it again?!… So im sure there was a nice size chunk of viewers who felt it was pointless to watch something that was going to be canceled without finishing the plot!… It should totally be brought back!!!
I watched the first season when it was aired on t.v. and just found the second season on netflix…i can’t believe abc cancelled it, and without resolving any of the storylines. Bring this show back and do it proper justice with publicity please!!
BRING IT BACK!!! I want to know what happens with Nick and Karen… if Brian and Nick find their dad….if Jeremy goes back with his lil woman…. BRING IT BACK!!!
I WILL BE IN THE CAST if you need people! CRAP -o-LA I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!
Bring the show back!twas fantafabulous!!!
Excellent show should have never been cancelled.
Please give it another chance it will be successful trust
me I know!
I love this show! Why would they end it like that? Please Please one more season ABC!

It’s a beautiful show,lovely Plot,beautiful people,Please bring the show back on.
It’s something u wanna watch oveR and over again. Very mature storyline
And its nicely n tastefuly done. We all wanna knw what happens
@ the end.Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!
Hello¡!!!!!!!!!! This show was the shit I want to see what happens who does that? Whose ends a show with. Someone’s dad still alive and some one loosing a baby and some one married to a complete stranger come on Hollywood wrap it up and do it good like u did friends make it worth owning all the seasons
I loved it WHY cancel such a great show and stellar cast?? Bring it back !
I just finished watching the episodes of Dirty Sexy Money. I am not one to commit to series and the only one I have ever followed was smallville and they had 9 seasons. From what I’ve learned and saw. This show was hyped up to the start of the ratings to give the show another season with not much hope and the leading possibility that it would not continue past the 2nd season. I found this show on Netflix and never herd about it before. Why there was no big hype. Smallville on the other hand was Hyped up to lead me and my family to follow and watch it. Sad that yes it ended but this show was our new thing. Just hear this out bring it back, hype it up, put it everywhere, call it something, express its something u don’t do and ull see the viewers roll in to see what’s the big hype! Especially because of the way the season ended. Show the ep before and the leading questions and everyone who hasn’t even seen it will still want to know what’s next! You have to spend money to make money and in this case you have a rare shot that has plenty of potential. Take the Nine Lives of Cloyie, that ending was fine something good and entertaining but no where near as good as Dirty Sexy Money or Smallville with its nine seasons. Bring it back and let your wallet grow this show is the next big thing. It just may have been brought out at the wron time. People are at a better place now and are starting to tune back in. I speak first hand, why? Because I just did! Bring it back. Your more than welcome to contact me for my insight. Email me if you’d like.
