There are 26 letters in the alphabet but NBC’s A to Z TV show only lasted five episodes before being cancelled. The peacock network has decided not to order any more installments beyond their initial 13 episode order.
A to Z follows the story of Andrew (Ben Feldman) and Zelda (Cristin Milioti) — two young people who are very different. Their relationship shouldn’t work and yet it does. Is it true love forever or just a detour in destiny? The rest of the cast includes Christina Kirk, Henry Zebrowski, Hong Chau, Lenora Crichlow, and Katey Sagal.
Debuting on October 2nd, the series got off to a poor start with a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.79 million viewers. Viewership fell 24% in week two and the ratings kept falling every week after that. This week’s installment, opposite CBS’ returning sitcoms, hit a new low with a 0.7 in the demo and 2.49 million viewers.
Based on the numbers, it’s no surprise that NBC is cancelling A to Z. It is a bit surprising however that the show is staying in production. Eleven episodes have been shot and two more will be produced. Hopefully, the sitcom’s writer will be able to adjust the remaining scripts to bring a fitting conclusion to Andrew and Zelda’s story.
For now, NBC plans to air the eight remaining episodes. The Blacklist will take over the Thursdays at 9pm timeslot on February 5th.
Companion sitcom Bad Judge has also been cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the A to Z TV show? Do you think that NBC should have cancelled it? Would you have watched a second season?
I just found this show and i am loving it. Too bad there 9is no season 2.
Please give us season 2, give A to Z another chamce.
I really enjoyed this show. I really liked the characters, cared about the two stars, and obviously disagree with America that this show was very good. I shouldn’t be surprised, however, because a lot of the shows I get pulled into and cared about are cancelled. I must be a weirdo.
We just happened to stumble upon this show and it was good!! Sad that it got cancelled!!! Maybe it needed better advertising!? or Maybe it was before it’s time? total bummer, we loved this show!
Bummer ….. just found it and now learned it’s done.
My husband and I love love love this show. Just watched all 13 episodes. So disappointed there is no season 2.
My husband and I love love love this show. Just watched it on streampix. So disappointed there is only 13 episodes.
Please give as a season 2!!
Please don’t finish the show till the end came. I love this show with all of my heart. Please consider this as a request…. I’m waiting for 2nd season although.
Please don’t do this. Atleast let complete the story. I love this show and I’m curious about 2nd season. Please..
I loved the show, think about it often, and miss it. It was a feel good show which is hard to come by these days. Andrew and Zelda were very cute , they seemed believable and like people you care about. I wanted to know their story, and for them to stay kind and faithful in their love.
this show talks about the simple promiscuous relationship between two beings who seemed to be perfect for each other in many ways especially with their flaws cuz that makes them most human of all things, i would love for them to finish the series and develop the characters a little bit more, but on the whole its a total thursday evening nachos-dip-lazy-on-the-couch-watch and the lead couple seemed to make it all the more better!!
