While Nurse Jackie has been renewed for a fourth season, Showtime has decided that they’ve had enough of their other Monday night comedy, United States of Tara. The latter TV series has been cancelled after three seasons.
Starring Toni Collette, United States of Tara revolves around a suburban wife and mother who suffers from multiple personalities. Others in the cast include Brie Larson, John Corbett, Keir Gilchrist, and Rosemarie DeWitt.
Collette has been nominated for three Emmy awards for the role and won in 2009 for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. Debuting in January of 2009, the TV series was created by Diablo Cody and was based on an idea from Steve Spielberg.

Tara’s rating have been sliding for awhile so the cancellation isn’t actually a big shock. Last season, Tara averaged more than 550,000 viewers while season three to date is down more than 40%, averaging about 325,000.
In addition to tonight’s, there are three episodes left in season three. The series finale is set to air on June 20th and is titled “The Good Parts.”
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that there won’t be a fourth season or was it time for United States of Tara to end?

I am so sad to hear this! I have always watched US of T after nurse jackie, and though I admit I did favor nurse Jackie the 1st season and part of the 2nd, US of T passed way ahead of nurse Jackie in originality and substance and has become my favorite. I feel like I shouldn’t even watch television anymore since I don’t want to get interested and involved in a great show just to be let down when it’s cancelled. This show definitely could have gone for 5 seasons, easily! US of T will be missed 🙁
Yo, this is SUCH BS. Nurse Jackie is SO WACK. No substance in that show. She’s an uninteresting wack job, while Tara is an interesting wack job. I feel for her (Tara) and what she goes through and what her family has to go through with her. They all love each other, but Tara’s problems are so overbearing to anyone that’s close that they want to leave, but I feel at the same time they don’t want to deep down. It’s their mother/wife/sister, ya know? She’s not a mother/wife who goes around knowingly cheats on her husband and does drugs… Read more »
this season has been the best reviewed, even better than nurse jackie, since when does showtime care about ratings? i thought they really cared about putting good shows on television but no, now that they have laura linney, and edie falco to win awards for them, they don’t care
Come on, don’t do this… This is such a great show…. This is sad
This is an outrage!!! I never comment on anything but I don’t believe this! This show is amazing, the cast works so well together and Toni does a phenomenal job as her role ( or shall I say roles)… Weeds needed to get cancelled long before it did but this show must stay for at least one more season! Give us fans some resolve!!
OMG NOOOOOOOOOO THATS SO STUPID THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SHOW WHATS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE THEY KEEP TAKING THE GOOD SHOWS OFF 🙁 BUT KEEP WEEDS AND NURSE JAKIE HAHA HOW LAME IS THAT
I’m so sad this is getting cancelled! I can’t believe after all the award nominations that the show has had they would just pull it b/c of bad ratings. Change the night, make it a summer series..something other than cancelling it! I have watched all of the seasons religiously. It irritates me to think that now the audience that did enjoy the show will never get to know what happend. 🙁
Truly sorry to hear USofT is leaving. I love this show and I will miss watching it.
No words can discribe how crappy all the other ate compaired to tara
The show that comes from the different box always get cancelled. WHY?? The new story line the one you look forward to to watch.
Come on! All my shows keep getting cancelled. I love this show, and think it should’ve gone for at least a couple more seasons. Definitely think this is better than Nurse Jackie and it has a lot more to offer the viewer. Pill-popping mom with a family that’s falling apart. Eh. Keep Tara, lose Jackie.
This is one of the best shows on TV and really deserved at least one or two more seasons. I can’t believe this was taken off the air while Weeds has been left on to become absolutely rediculous and an insult to its original genious. Very sad indeed.
I’m sad to see this show end. It’s a great show, that let’s you see into a family that isn’t your typical all american blue collar family. I think it deserve’s many more season’s. I’d watch this over Nurse Jackie anyday.
This is one show I will not miss. The multi personality thing just didn’t work for me.
I think showtime is making a mistake.. I adore that show and have been a fan since day one.. really do wish they’d reconsider..so sad to see it end.
