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!

I’ve checked the new Fall 2009 line up for ABC and since they cancelled Dirty Sexy Money, I won’t be watching the network at all. None of the new shows described sound as fascinating as DSM, nor do they have the acting talent evident in the cast of DSM. I’m wondering why ABC is intent on going out of the TV business….they seem not to have any idea exactly what makes a good show, or how to support a good show to greatness….I mean what did they think running the last few epidsodes on Saturday night without any publicity? To make sure not one of us would notice and watch? Talk about mean-spirited……
I am so…upset about the cancellation I was an avid fan.
I can’t believe this show was cancelled!!! It was excellent and my husband and I always recorded it if we weren’t going to be home. And it stars a great Canadian actor too…Donald Sutherland…..Bring back this show !!!
This was a great show! Great acting and very entertaining. Why in the world was it cancelled.? Please advise! ABC you need to re-access this decision!
This show was entertaining Keep it going
I can’t believe this show has been cancelled. I so looked forward to this show EVERY week!!!!!! I found out that it was back on this summer on Saturday nights by the second Saturday show and no wonder the ratings were low…no one knew it was going to be back on and on Saturday nights at that. If they would advertise better then more people would’ve known it was coming on this summer. This show is FABULOUS!!! Please bring it back…on ABC or any other network!!! My parents love DSM, too!!!
Please bring Dirty Sexy Money back. Maybe on another network or not on prime time. Please bring it back.
I really love this show too, and really wish it wouldn’t be canceled! I just finished watching the 13th episode of season 2, today, and I want more!!!
I love this show. I really wish they didn’t cancel it. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next! ABC should consider bringing it back for a summer season!
The reason for the low ratings is that the show was not consistently on at a regular time.
ABC dropped the ball on this one.
What bothers me the most beyond finding a show I like is cancelled, is not getting closure. It’s like reading half a good book and loosing it. ABC should have an obligation to give viewers closure.
In 2007 ABC aired 8 episodes of The Traveler in the spring knowing before they were aired that it was cancelled.
The repercussions are easy if ABC has no consideration or obligation to their viewers we have a right to view elsewhere. .
Ratings aren
I love the show. It was fun. PLEASE BRING IT BACK
