It’s the end of the competition for Make It or Break It. ABC Family has cancelled the TV show after three seasons on the air.
Make It or Break It revolves around top young gymnasts who are training for the Olympics. The series debuted in mid-June 2009 to a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.5 million total viewers. The ratings fell as low as a 0.6 in the demo with 1.9 million but that was still enough for the cable channel to renew it for a second season of 20 episodes.
The ratings got worse in season two but ABC Family still renewed Make It or Break It for a third season. This time however, they only ordered eight episodes. According to network president Michael Riley, it was “in time to ignite Olympic fever.”
If there were a possibility of ABC Family ordering a fourth season, those chances were pretty quickly dashed. Season three debuted to a 0.7 in the demo and 1.57 million. By week two, viewership had dropped off more than 25% and the numbers fell further in week three.

The five episodes of season three that have aired thus far have averaged a 0.5 in the demo with 1.23 million total viewers.
At least part of the decline may have been due to the losses of Chelsea Hobbs and Josh Bowman (who’s now on Revenge). Coach Sasha (Neil Jackson) also hasn’t been seen much this season.
Of the cancellation, series creator Holly Sorenson tweeted, “MIOBI nation. We all love you so much. And we are, very sadly, three weeks away from the series finale of #miobi.”
The final episode of Make It or Break It airs on May 14th.
What do you think? Were you still watching? Are you sad that the show is ending?

I think that they should bring the show back because since it has been on Netflix it may have gained more popularity. I actually am one of the probably tons of people that watched the whole thing on Netflix and got completely addicted to the show!! I absolutely HAVE to know who’s going to win the Olympics! I hope that the show can resume very soon 🙁 It’s perfect timing.. The Olympics is right around the corner..
your so write
This was the only good show on this channel to watch and to leave us hanging expecting to see who on the show would win gold in addition to who would win at the real Olympics was something to look forward to. Thanks ABC family for giving me every reason to not tune into your channel again *insert sarcasm here*. With any luck they’ll at least show the entire show again in reruns so we can all get our fix.
i miss miobi! when will it come back on?!!?!!?!?!
It was like 1 of the. 5 fa shows on Abc Family now I’m sad that it returned I really wanted to c what would happen with loren now we will never find out 🙁
I am still very sad bacause MIOBI is CANCELED that was my one and only show i loved on ABC Family all the other shows are worthless and lame. There should be a season four. In season 3 i was starting to like Lauren and and i was happy that Payson found a boyfriend (Rigo). And i was hoping that kaily and Jordan would become besties again. But we will never know about anything like who will win the gold medal. NO ONE WILL EVER KNOE BECAUSE THE SHOW IS CANCLED ALL NECAUSE OF ABC FAMILY. THANKS ALOT ABC FAMIY… Read more »
You know what I’m really upset this show inspired me I now take gymnastics lessons and watch the woman’s gymnastics Olympic trials can’t they just have a season 4 and finish what they started? I literally cried for 3 hours and I still pray and have hope that it will finally have a 4th and 5th season :/
[…] Make It or Break It Status: Finished airing on 5/14/12 Current season: 3 (8 episodes) New episodes remaining: 0 Current ratings averages: 0.5 demo rating with 1.17 million viewers Cancelled or renewed?: cancelled, no season 4 […]
this litteraly made me sadly sick to hear that this show was cancelled i think, and i know that u dont think so, but this show was actually worth watching and it should not be taken off air….i still have HOPE!
I am so upset. They cant leave me guessing like this. I am a dedicated viewer and i demand for MIOBI to come back on. They end just when im starting to like Lauren. This is why I dont watch t.v any more all the good shows are canceled and the ones that are good are going to be canceled. So thanks ABC for ruining my much needed t.v time. I now have little to nothing to watch.
i am very upset this show is gone!!! i loved it.
WOW! I was really looking forward to watching another season…..can’t believe this was canceled 🙁 I watched it from the beginning…so sad to see it go
Sad to see it go. We watched every week since it began….LOVE this show.!!!
What are they possibly using to track this? There are way more views for their episodes just on their website alone each week. They were really stupid to cancel the show, definitely not watching this channel anymore.
I love this show so much! My best friend got me to watch it and i don’t even like gymnastics. I became glued to the show and have seen every episode. PLEASE MAKE A FOURTH SEASON PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! It should be about them making the olympics and everyone would love it!!! Please take this into consideration
I love this show! It is amazing an I want to know who wins at the olympics! It is so addicting as an athlete I realate to alot of the stuff they do on the show. Please renew because your getting rid of a show that shows that if you follow your dreams you might make it one day:)
