I think it is really messed up that the show was cancelled! It was one of my familys favorite shows! It was a good dramedy and am very upset along with my family that it will not be back for a second season!

I haven’t been so disappointed since “Homicide” was cancelled. there ain’t much on for thinking people. Of course, it wasn’t a reality show and didn’t have magic stuff in it, so it couldn’t be popular with the typical ignorant viewer.

I agree, Dean. No one gives anything a chance anymore.

Hey, just found out you have cancelled the Unusuals. What a bummer! This was one of the most original shows and stories on TV. How rare to meet some flawed people in a TV show. Would any other station be able to pick it up? There’s not many things I watch on ABC except for Grey’s and Private Practice so this is a real loser for you.

Unbelievable, a show my husband and I could enjoy together and it’s canceled. There were so many new shows on last year that by the time this one came on tv watchers had already set schedules and perhaps it didn’t get expected ratings. The same happened with pushing daisies, it came back when all the new shows and schedules were already established. Life on Mars was awful but had The Unusuals had that spot from Sept. it would have been a winning show

Those of us with higher I Q’s, that like to watch intelligently designed shows, also buy products advertised on television. I’d wager we have somewhat larger coffers from which to spend than the average 18-49 year old reality-show-watching moron. It seems to me that when tv execs cancel shows of this caliber, and there have been a lot lately, they disreguard an entire demographic, but they still try to sell PC’s and retirement brokers to beer-swilling, chain-smoking, couch potatoes. Go figure.

The Unusuals was the greatest show on TV last season. We have been waiting around for it to come back this season. I finally got on the internet only to see it was cancelled. Such a crying shame. It was funny, sometimes poignant, with many layers of interest.

Please bring it back.

ABC I’m sick this crap. I don’t even want to give new shows a chance anymore. I find something good, get hooked, then it gets cancelled. The Unusuals was, by far, the best show I have seen on your’s or any other network in a while. I can’t believe it’s been cancelled. Get your heads out of the glue pan. The other networks had nothing to compare to “The Unusuals” as they have nothing but the usual on every night. This was a bad decision ABC and I hope you change your minds, or better yet, another network decides to pick it up.

What a bunch of losers. I never watch abc and they finally put something interesting on and then decide to cancel it. Brilliant. Almost as good as your Monty Python fiasco in the 70s. Who runs this station anyway? May as well have chimps running the business, even they could do a better job. (No offense to the chimps – just to the chumps!)

This is typical network programming nonsense at ABC. By some fluke, they get a show that’s too smart for the room or something that requires some time to grow. Thank you ABC for hunting down creative television and killing it.

I just found out this show was cancelled. It is such a shame it was a good show. I loved it, as well as a lot of others. Now I was thinking about ABC, and I then got out my guide, and started searching for shows on ABC. I can not find anything else that I want to watch on this channel. I can see that I can block ABC and will not miss anything.
t is such a shame, this was a good program, I looked forward to it to come on. Now all I can see that ABC has to offer is, Dancing With The Stars (actually Dancing with the Fallen Stars is more appropriate I think) and Greys Anatomy (This one got old after two seasons in my book).

I really think it should be rethought about cancelling Unusuals. It is much better than you think.

Thank you for your time,

Quality network television. How many times do you get to use those three words in the same sentence? The Unusuals is quality network television. Terrific writing, excellent directing, and strong, compelling actors.
PLEASE, OTHER NETWORKS, PLEASE PICK UP THIS GREAT SHOW.
I miss this show.

Was so looking forward to a new season. Checked to see when and learned about the cancellation. Too bad. The characters had so much potential. Just loved watching the development.

ABC did it again! What the hell are they thinking? Such a refreshing new show with all sorts of story lines on different levels and they pulled a “Kevorkian” on it! Dancing with the Stars again??? Really??? I don’t get it. I just wish one of the Cable Channels are reading and listening to us!! TNT, FX, USA??? PLEASE HELP US!!
Shame on you ABC your ratings are slipping!

Man…I don’t know whether to laugh in disbelief or cry that this show was cut! This was a GREAT show! I don’t even watch ABC save for this show, so I guess I’m back at square one! Sorry ABC…oh wait! Darn…there is still hope for you yet as I do enjoy Ugly Betty! Maybe you guys could reconsider a shorter season for the Unusuals. I really enjoyed the morning dispatcher’s voice in the background!

I loved this show! It was smart, funny and different! I am tired of shows coming out and only a few episodes being shown and the viewer is left hanging.

Debby — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:03:10 +0000

I am VERY sad, I finally found a show I liked and you guys cancel it. The Unusuals was a clever and funny cop show! What are you guys thinking canceling the show.

Dis-apointed and angry at the ABC network.

By: Dorothy

Dorothy — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 21:28:52 +0000

I am very mad that they are not bringing this show back for another season. I went out of my to watch this show…finding it on TV or watching it on the website when I missed it. It was a great cop show!

By: curly ross

curly ross — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:01:05 +0000

to bad, i guess it was to good for the network to consider, maybe they do not consider the tv watcher intelligent and witty enough to enjoy such a program, not enough of us to invest, i guess crap sells better…………….

By: Melissa

Melissa — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:06:42 +0000

This makes me ANGRY! Why do these TV. Networks keep bringing new series out, and then cancel it after the first season..We get all involved then this happens..I am tired of this..I wish they would leave the series alone..I really enjoyed this series…very sad

I concur with most comments lamenting the passing of this promising show and agree that its concellation is reflective of the “dumbing down” factor in television today. The Unusuals had the potential of being in the same league as Hill Street Blues and Homicide: Life on the Street (perhaps the greatest police tv drama of all time).

By: Sam

Sam — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 20:10:39 +0000

Why DID THIS AWSOME SHOW CANCELL!!!! ARRRRGGG! Even if there were not as many people watching it as they should. There are ones that DID WATCH it WANT to SEE MORE OF it!!!!!!! Do not cancell. :,,,( There are people who want to see some more of the Unusuals:(

By: pottsy

pottsy — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:40:50 +0000

Why oh why do they not stick with a show and give it time to find an audience. this was such a well written, funny show. I looked forward to it every week and I will miss the characters that never really had a chance to develop… Big mistake ABC and America for not supporting shows that are different… Here you have Castle which did make the cut and it is ok, but so predictable… When will the two main stars act on the sexual tension between them….. boring…. same ole, same ole. For my money the Unusuals, was just like it’s title, wonderfuly unusual…. Wish another cable network would pick it up….

This totally frikkin’ blows, I was hoping to see this back in the fall lineup. this was a nice breakaway show, kinda reminded me of Hill Street Blues, same blend of humor. damn this really irks me. If it wasn’t for LOST, I’d boycott ABC on this. DAMN!!!, this really does irk me.

Maybe one day there will be a commercial “IQTV” station that has gritty and witty, well written shows and doesn’t cater only to the lowest common denominator of sub prime couch potato. It would put together a decent evening of TV that doesn’t require you to have, or to continualy surf 100+ stations in order to find something realy worth watching like “The Unusuals”….Heck, some politicians would kill to have even one million people watch and listen to them….Networks bite, PC Niche TV anyone?

Jimmy — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 00:08:23 +0000

The last time a great show like this got the axe was when CBS canceled (twice) “Due South”..a quirky, well written and acted dramedy. At least someone else picked up “Due South” in syndication and it lasted another three seasons…maybe the same will happen with “The Unusuals” We can only hope! TNT…or USA…are you listening?

i loved this show. too bad abc didnt promote it much and the time slot didnt help i always watched it online! so sad to hear this… this show was great!

By: Susan

Susan — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:14:12 +0000

Typical of these TV networks to cancel a show with any originality. A few million of us thought this show was interesting enough to watch. How long are we going to let them saturate our evenings with stupid reality shows? I wish I could say I can’t believe it, but really, it comes as no surprise. I’ll wait with baited breath for another season of Dancing with the Stars..so I can turn the TV off.

By: denise

i cannot believe i finally found a great show just to see it cancelled. Everytime, a great show comes on it does not make the cut. Shame on ABC

I so loved this show. Refreshing after all the boring cop shows on TV, couldn’t wait for the next episode. Actors were superb, each fitting his palce . Couldn’t have been better entertainment, So very sorry it’s off the air….

A real shame. It was a highly refreshing show and totally different to the many procedural crime dramas out there. It seems these days how good a show is has little to do with how high the ratings are. I do reckon this show could have been a hit on a less mainstream station.

By: kristi

kristi — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 04:25:07 +0000

i actually liked the show alot its not like all the other shows on tv it was a nice change to the other boring crap on tv now a days id like to see a second season

wow didn’t see that coming hehe the show was sooooooooooo terrible that it was painful….if ABC was smart they’ll make sure LOST will last 20yrs, but that’s on it’s last season so they better think of something else quick…

CANCELLED !!!
My wife & I love Amber Tamblyn.
We were pleased when she got another slot here after “Joan…” was cancelled.
You just start to get into the show & characters, looking forward to watch and THEN IT”S CANCELLED!!! It makes you NOT want to start to watching ANYTHING new for it may lead to another let down. UHH!!!

I kept waiting for new episodes… Didn’t see the cancellation coming, this is the only show that I watched on ABC, I liked all the characters, and I now I will wonder wtf happened to everyone, Brain tumor, Phobias, the dark pasts, the little rich girl, etc to all other fans, Cheers

canceled? Let’s see.. Maybe they should cancel desparate housewives, I survived a Japanese game show, and America’s funniest videos. Because the unusuals is way better than that crap..

They keep running the mindless dribble and cancel the shows with interesting plots and “unusual” characters. I give up on ABC.

So disappointed that the show is cancelled. It was well written and I loved the cast. Why do they cancel good shows like this and keep on the garbage? ABC what is your problem?Guess I’ll read instead.

“The Unusuals” was the best tv show I’ve seen in a very long time. Loved the show and all the characters from the very first show. Can’t believe it was cancelled. Is there any chance of a revival?

By: Dee Dee

Really too bad!! Finally an intelligent comedy and they have to cancel it! This should have been tested in the Fall! It probably would have took off!!! ugh!

I’m completely in disbelief that they could cancel such a well written show! I’ve always steered toward the cop shows and this one seemed especially promising with a great cast and quirky characters. Wouldn’t you know that this easily became one of the two shows that I faithfully watched (the other being In Plain Sight) and now I feel left hanging in the wind with no answers.

By: Debbie C.

Debbie C. — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 07:29:23 +0000

It never fails! When I find a show that I love and get totally “into” the characters, they cancel it! I wish they would give it a second chance, but maybe in a different time slot? But who am I? I loved Amber Tamblyn in Joan of Arcadia (another favorite show) and they cancelled that too. I’m frustrated. But then idiotic shows like Family Man and the Simpsons keep running for decades. WHY?

I was very hurt to hear they cancelled this show. It was funny and entertaining. The characters worked so well together. The writers did a great job with mixing the right amount of humor and the right amount of seriousness needed to keep you tuned in for more. Many of us caught wind of this show late. I went online to catch up on episodes. The public would have caught on too if given more of a chance.

By: Dave & Dee

Dave & Dee — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 01:11:01 +0000

Finally a show that was different and entertaining. Wouldn’t you know they would cancel it before it had a chance. The only show that didn’t put us to sleep.

there were only a couple of shows i liked on ABC anyways,..and the Unusuals was one of them,..guess i will be switching channels,..good thing i got cable,..350 channels to choose from.
