To little surprise, ABC has cancelled 666 Park Avenue, their struggling Sunday night series. While the network will air all 13 episodes, there won’t be any after that. In addition, ABC also cancelled Last Resort today and CBS canned Partners.
666 Park Avenue follows a Midwest couple who’ve moved to New York City. They end up managing The Drake, a prestigious residential hotel that’s not as nice a building as it seems. The TV series features the talents of Terry O’Quinn, Vanessa Williams, Dave Annable, Rachael Taylor, Robert Buckley, Mercedes Masöhn, Helena Mattsson, Samantha Logan, and Erik Palladino.
The show debuted on September 30th, in ABC’s troubled Sundays at 10pm timeslot. The premiere’s ratings weren’t very impressive, attracting a mediocre 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.9 million total viewers. That was 30% lower than what Pan Am had registered a year earlier.
Park Avenue’s numbers have gotten even worse since the debut. The coveted demographic dropped to a 1.7 rating in week two (down 19%) and a 1.5 rating in week three (down another 12%). The ratings perked up a bit in weeks four (a 1.7 rating) and five (a 1.6 rating) but dropped to a 1.2 rating last Sunday.
But, what do you think? Should ABC have cancelled 666 Park Avenue? Will you miss the show?
PLEASE do not cancel this tv series!! Love the show!!!!
NO this show should not have been cancelled. Everyone I know watches and loves it. Please bring it back!!!!
I think the show was great, I think all or most reality TV need to be cancelled, there are way too many of them and they are getting to be too much, I would like to watch shows with real actors rather than wanna be actors.
I loved that show, wish they would continue to air it so good and exciting. This ruins my day & night.
Seems every time I really fall in love with a series they remove it. Was in a bad time slot to begin with. I wasn’t even aware it had come back on, And Id been watching and waiting for it. So I guess we will just be left hanging with no idea who what happened at the end. So very disappointed. Feel they did not even give it a chance. Same as they do many of their really good shows. Bad time slot, no real fan fare, so many don’t even see it. Listen to the viewers!
I love this show! I’m mad about this. I been waiting for it to come back on. Going crazy to know what’s about to happen this season; just to find out it’s been cancelled! !!!
I hate that this show 666 Park Avenue was cancelled – they always do that…just when it was getting good ..poof .. all that time wasted. Thanks ABC, real good. Why not give a show a chance. Seinfeld was terrible also in the first year but lucky for them the ABC euthanizers weren’t around.

I loved 666. I was not always able to watch it when it aired originally, but I made sure to follow up on missed episodes on demand. I really liked the shows concept and I am really upset that it was cancelled. I believe this show would have deserved a second season, aired at a different time spot.
Also with the time slot they gave it it was set up to fail kinda makes me mad.
It’s dumb they cancled it its an amazing show. I hope sci Fi or another station picks it up.
I truly can not beleive this show is not coming back on air!
I understand ratings may have dipped but that doesn’t take away from the quality of that thriller and it deserves a chance to prove it self.
Everyone here in my office is behind me on this and we are looking for MORE.
Those stupid idiots. Remind me not to bother with ABC any more, with decisions like this. One of the best shows in a long time. They always keep the crap and get rid of the really interesting programs. They don’t know how to market their shows so that people have a chance to even know it’s on. Dumb!
Yet another of my favs cancelled. WTH? Get rid of crappy reality shows, get some good programming that challenges the mind, like 666 Park Avenue, and maybe, just maybe, people will start to watch ABC again. It was #1 all thru the 70s – and has tanked since then. Can’t live in the glory days, ABC (CBS, NBC, etc.). You need quality programming to get quality viewership.
Crap!!!!!!!! I d Don’t watch network TV anymore this is the only show that I have watched and they’re taking it off the air ****
I think it’s a shame that ABC cancelled 666 Park Avenue. It was a great show. Everyone I know was watching it & loved it. ABC CAN CANCEL A good show like this one but keep renewing those stupid reality shows. They sound like a bunch of goof balls.
