What do you think? Which ABC Family TV shows do you watch? Which ones would you like to see come back next season?
Obviously you people clearly do not know what shows should stay and what should go I mean are you freaking kidding me I love Greek I watched every season in one summer and Jane by Design you’ve got to be kidding I wish that was my life she had such a quirky amazing personality so real not fake like you see a lot nowadays on tv and make it or break it that was my favorite sports romance drama it made me wish I was still a gymnast you people dissapoint me so much I don’t think you should be… Read more »
I want “Whose Line is it Anyway? ” to come back on air. That is still the funniest show I’ve ever watched on television.
seriously why did they cancel jane by design!!! of course they cant keep with PLL followers but it doesnt mean its not a good enough show. dont get me wrong im soo stoked for PLL on tuesday!!! and i am so glad they are keeping bunheads:)! but i also loved the nine lives of chole king/:
ABC FAMILY IS SO ANNOYING HOW THEY ALWAYS CANCEL SHOWS THAT I LOVE AND THEN LEAVE ME HANGING…ITS BS IF YOU ASK ME. JANE BY DESIGN WAS A GREAT SHOW SO WHY THE F WOULD THEY CANCEL IT!!?!?!?!?!?! IM ANGRY
You don’t even have to make a new season just finish off season three.. That’s all I ask.. Just give us a better ending..
Bring Make it or Break it back:( please:( you guys want to know what shows we want back and obviously A LOT of people want Make it or Break it to come back so please!!!
stupid abc family secret life and make it or break it are some of my favorite shows!!!!!! Grrr how can you cancel them and bring back melissa and joey give me back my shows !!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so upset that The Lying game got renewed but Jane by Design didn’t! I love that show and have been anticipating its comeback, then I find this site and see that it’s not. I don’t think that’s fair. I think you should just put it in am earlier time slot and it would have much more viewers. Please bring it back! I also think “Secret Life” should get finished too. I am so mad when I saw Beverly Hills Nannies got cancelled too! Please bring all them back!
How could Make it or Break it be over? It could have at least been finished. I’m so upset over this. It had over 1 million watchers. That’s a lot, but it’s not enough? Ookkaaaayyy. Make the next season. The watchers deserve it.
Please bring Jane by Design back. Great show. You can’t leave us hanging. Give us closure. Finish “Secret life”. You built up planning a wedding, went off the air for months then back with some silly toy building episode and it appears that Amy and Ricky are married for real, but no mention of it. I agree, who cares about the Dylan character, finish up with the main characters of the show, graduate them, send them to college with closure. Also, finish Beverly Hills Nannies. You guys CAN’T have a partial season of any show and then up and stop.… Read more »
They did finish BHN. Midway through the season they moved it to Tuesdays.
Get Jane by design back. You cant just leave it like that. At least make a quick ending or something and not just leave it like that!!!
I totally agree with you.I need to know what happened with Billy and Jane. they have to get back together. Stupid ab family has canceled my favorite show grrrr. ABC Family wants to make my life miserable
My daughter is a gymnast and furious over Make It Or Break It being cancelled. I really enjoyed the show too. They should definitely bring this show back and cancel one of the others that’s not really watched or less family oriented.
The Lying Game and Pretty Little Liars are just AWFUL, but they keep getting renewed?! Crazy!
Secret Life has gone WAAAY downhill, too many boring new characters. But I think they can fix it and make it almost as good as it used to be. There’s just too many dumb subplots like the Dylan thing. Ugh. It became “The Dylan Show” all of last season! Hate it! This show used to be so awesome and now it’s just frustrating.
Just actually READ that they canceled Secret Life. OMG! That show had SO much potential if they hadn’t brought in “leftover” characters from another failed TV show. X_X Brenda Hampton’s lost her mind.
I’ll miss the show, but maybe it never would have gotten better. That’d be sadder than it getting canceled.
I am still very upset over loosing Jane By Design!!!!! The ONE show keeping me coming back and not totally writting off ABC Family is The Lying Game. I really enjoyed the first season and am very excited to see season 2 come January! I tried to watch Bunheads and hated it. I watched Baby Daddy until I heard about JBD. Out of spite I quit watching haha. I enjoy Switched at Birth but I don’t make sure to be home to watch or anything. I did like Chole King but you know….. It’s about time Secret Life got canned.… Read more »
