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?
Here we go again ABC. You have a good show and cancel it. Why not try putting it on a different day? I believe a show like this would work well on a Wednesday or Thursday night. Great story line and a good cast. Since you cancelled it I hope one of the other networks will pick it up
I thought the show was really compelling, and the story was really interesting. The kind of thing I was surprised didn’t come from the mind of Stephen King. And I watched all of the episodes on Hulu, so the Sunday late-night scheduling didn’t bother me in the slightest. Wonder if online viewing is taken into account when calculating the ratings? I mean honestly, does anyone watch live tv anymore?
Love this show can’t believe it was cancelled. Was waiting for it to come back on. So much like lost which I miss. My husband even liked it and he is a tough critic.
It’s Lost all over again, after a brilliant series they close the show with that rediculous ending, and now Park Avenue, this is a really good show that makes you use your brain and get in depth with the charactors, it figures, the TV cattle would rather have everything spelled out for them….Oh Well !!! strike two ABC, don’t think I’ll take a third swing….
I loved Park Ave 666
ABC really missed up, they dump a popular show, which has a hugh fan base. Well, hopefully another net network will pick it. The Cartoon Network bought Family Guy, and the show became popular and Fox begged to have Family Guy back.
I agree with the person that said this is why ABC continues to have the lowest ratings. Give the fans what they want and the ratings will come. But, since you don’t care about what the fans want, the network will probably ignore this post too.
The first mistake was doing 3 prime times shows in a row on a Sunday night. the second mistake was the title, it should have been 999 Park Ave, showing shadows of the 666. I am very annoyed with ABC for cancelling the show and leaving viewers who did like the show hanging. Considering some of the shows aired it was alot better than the stupid Happy Endings replacement!
Great show — bring it back as it deserves a second chance. Maybe run earlier evening — say 7 pm
Leave it on. I liked it !
WHY would you “ABC” cancel such a great show. It was so interesting and magnificent. I can’t beleive you did this. I am so upset about this. Makes me very sad and I’m sure many other people. This is terrible 🙁
My daughter and I love the show. We always record it because it is on to late. I am sure that is what many viewers do. We both would love to see it continue!!!!
I was upset to see cancelled. Guess I should of known , when there is something I like it gets cancelled I’m worried storybrook will be next. Shame on u ABC
Was disappointed to once again not see 666 in Sunday line-up, so hit Google. Had no idea it was canceled and I’m so ticked! It completed OUAT and Revenge to make Sundays my new favorite night of TV! It’s like these TV producers don’t give a chance to almost anything outside of the cookie-cutter reality shows, true crime/legal/medical/cop dramas or a few poorly crafted comedy shows. No wonder we all turn to cable for good series anymore.
Some of work jobs that prevent seeing at exact air time. So we tape. And get devoted to every chapter. Canceling this … Yet another show only encourages me to stop watching and getting attached to these shows. Twin Peaks was first and it just continues.
I really hope that ABC reconciders airing this show. The writers are very creative and the actors are very talented.
I’m so sorry to see that 666 has been cancel I really did like that show, so did other members in my family. Maybe if you move it to a different night, there are so many un- answer questions about the lead characters
Every time I like a show they get rid of it! Here I have been waiting for it to come back after the holidays and I find out it has been cancelled 🙁 BOOO!
