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?
it was a great show. I will miss it. the networks have too many stupid reality shows. I absolutely refuse to watch them. LOVED 666 and am very upset with network that it is cancelled. give it back !!!
Why is it that all the great shows are taken off the air before their time. This was a fantstic show! If you want to take someting off the air, take off the reality shows! The net works are getting too money hungry and their pockets are getting to deep. Reality shows are less expensive to make. That is why reality shows are taking over. Many of us want a great show show to watch such as 666 Park Ave. ,Secret Circle etc. What do we get instead lots and lots of reality shows and other shows that don’t cost… Read more »

I’m so sad to hear that this show was cancelled. I loved it! I’m not a big fan of anything scary but I thought it was great and looked forward to Sunday nights at 10pm. 🙁 I also loved Last Resort and cant believe ABC is taking yet again another show off the air that I love so much…So sad!
I liked the show too, and yes, I will miss it.
As Cheryl noted, it was different and so often once a new show comes on, every network has a clone of it. 666 was a nice diversion from all the same things.
I loved 666, it was nice having a show to watch that was different. I can’t believe that every show I like gets cancelled. Oh, let’s put on more stupid comedies that make me sick, they are so stupid. Who gets to vote on these shows? No one ever asks my opinion.
Loved this show. I’m extremely disappointed to see that it has been cancelled. Great supernatural premise without blood, gore and weird creatures! Well written and interesting…..
Loved this show. My husband & I wait for this every Sunday night right after Once Upon a Time of which we also love. Was looking to see when this is going to be aired & found out it was canceled. Loved the Secret Circle, too & that was canceled also. I guess there wasn’t enough sex & bloody violence for any of these! We don’t have the upgraded cable channels (just basic) so this was our movie entertainment. Why do your network people do this to us? Does every episode have to be bringing in top dollars? What a… Read more »
Sorry that this show has been cancelled. So many ridiculous shows on ABC instead but as one viewer posted it was on very late. Not everybody has dish or ways of recording a late show. Some people are still very old fashioned. Perhaps another night or earlier time. Happy Endings could certainly be pulled from the line up. Please.
Times are changing, in fact have changed. The TV industry need a new way to track their viewers. There are only a few programs on TV that I like and fewer that I actually watch in their time slots.
I do not have the time to watch TV in its time slot. Most of my TV watching is on demand, or on the Internet.
I have only watched it on demand or on my computer, but I also liked 666 Park. I even went to my library’s web page to request the book when it is available.
Very sad to see this show end. found it being canceled when looking to see when it comes back after the winter break. Why do they have to cancel all the good shows…..
I PAID for it on iTunes! I’m mad! Can’t they just wrap it up? Why just STOP? ERR
My sister and I love this show. We are in our 60’s and we waited for Sunday nights so we could have something to watch. All of the other stupid things you have on are not to my liking so I don’t watch ABC. When that came on we was so happy. It was like watching a Stephen king movie. We love Stephen king . We have all of he’s book . Please bring it back.
I enjoyed the series, the show was different. I was confused. Saw a advertisement for the series to retun the end of January for it to be a no show.
