Sad Kyle XY news. Though the show has been a big success for ABC Family for most of its run, the network has decided to cut Kyle XY short after three seasons and 43 episodes. Understandably the TV show’s many fans are very upset about the cancellation and are hoping that the series can continue in some way.
Though it’s very rare that fan campaigns can change a network executive’s mind, it can happen. Recently, the executive producer of Friday Night Lights said he believes the show has survived in large part because NBC has recognized the passion of its audience. If nothing else, Kyle XY fans are certainly passionate. We’ve created this page to keep track of the ways that viewers can show support for Kyle XY.
Watch Kyle XY on ABC Family
Essentially, the most important thing to a network is for as many as possible 18-49 viewers. The more that watch, the more money the network can charge for their advertising. Watch every episode on TV — live, if possible — and encourage others to do the same. Perhaps one of them is secretly a Nielson family!
Write the network
Express your passion for the show but be respectful and polite. Everyone responds best to courtesy. E-mails are nice but personal snail-mail is even better. Some fans are sending packages of Sour Patch Kids while others are sending postcards with “Viz Allati” (from season two) written on them.

I just want to thank you for including this.It means a lot to me and many other Kyle X Y fans that are fighting for our show.SAVE THE TUB!
Thanks for supporting us and helping us get the word out about saving the tub!
I want to thank you for writing this kind and understanding piece on behalf of those who love KyleXY. Many of us have done many things from one fan originally from New York making a papier mache bathtub, to the many others who have posted on YouTube videos in support of not cancelling KyleXY, to the thousands who have posted on different sites, sent in postcards and letters and have reached out to those who may not have heard of the cancellation.
Again, I want to thank you for this article and in your own way You have helped in the effort to SAVE the TUB or to MOVE the TUB to a network worthy of KYLE X Y.
I sure hope sense ABC Family doesn’t want the tub, the tub can move to a place where it can stay. I know that someone will care about the tub! Saving Kyle is my goal!!
If you could add buying season 2 on dvd to help the cause it might help. Since networks are all about $$ DVD sales help show them they made a mistake, Futurama and Arrested Development come to mind.
I love XY
Does anyone know who the execs are at the Sci Fi Channel? I think Sci Fi would make the perfect home for this show and they have been known in the past to pick up failing shows.
Thanks tvseriesfinale.com! It’s so great of yall to post this!
SAVE THE TUB!
