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?

Way to leave everyone hanging! This was an awesome show that should not have been canceled! If you were going to just quit you could have at least done it after the Olympics! Please bring it back!
I really got addicted to the show MAKE IT OR BREAK IT, YOU LEFT US ALL HANGING, YOU DONT CANCEL A SHOW RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BEST PARTS, PLEASE BRING IT BACK
It should not of been canceled. It was the greatest show ever. I wanted Emily to come back. And I wanted to see the girls go to London. It was one of the best shows ever. It should be brought back. Please Please.
I loved this show…how could it have low ratings when everyone I know was watching it? It was one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. Chelsea Hobbs had to go and mess it up…they had to rewrite the entire plot because she got preggers and left….seriously, what a dumb career move.

We have watched all 48 amazing episodes and after researching online for the 4th season to be released we see that the show has been cancelled. REALLY !!!! We love this show please being it back!
Please bring back Make It Or Break It. I love that show! It is so much better than the other shows on Abc Family, and I am very disappointed it was cancelled. I am an aspiring athlete, with a dream to go to the Olympics. The show was very relatable for me, and I somehow felt connected to the characters. I, like many others, watched the show on Hulu. It took me one week, and i was so hooked I stayed up all night watching. I loved MIOBI. Now that the show is on Netflix and Hulu, maybe it gained… Read more »
I really, really, really, REALLY hope that ABC Family will reconsider their decision. It was horrible and I miss Make it or Break it so much, it’s unbearable. 🙁 I really loved it; loved watching about Lauren, Kaylie, Payson, and their friends. It was truly an amazing show. I just do not understand how they could cancel it! So sad. I have to say that I honestly feel MIOBI was the best show on their channel.
I Just Discovered this show a month ago on netflix and I’m in loved their was no season for tried to look for it online sadly I found out it was cancelled…
