FOX has lowered the ax on Almost Human. The show has been cancelled after one season of 13 episodes.
Taking place in the future, Almost Human follows the partnership of a distrustful cop (Karl Urban) and an android capable of emotion (Michael Ealy). The cast also includes Minka Kelly, Mackenzie Crook, Michael Irby, and Lili Taylor.
The series started strongly in the ratings but the numbers declined over the course of the season. The season finale hit a series low with a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.6 million total viewers.
Almost Human was reportedly still in the running for a second season until recently. Apparently several of FOX’s new pilots are strong contenders for next season so network execs have decided to let Almost Human go.
What do you think? Did you like this series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
The only network that can piss off J.J. A and Whedon!
Boycott Fox!!!!
Firefly & Almost Human
This has really upset me….. I love this show and the actors.. I just can’t believe Fox won’t even give them another year to get their ratings up.. They could show it in the months when the regular shows are on break. I wish they would reconsider….
Idiots! So usual !!!!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! They cancel this but have a reality show for Prince Harry coming out. Just freaking great.
That really bites! I actually enjoyed this show and made sure I recorded it every week. It had a very interesting plot and the two male actors are gorgeous! The lady cop is beautiful too! I am sorry to see Almost Human go!
Typical Fox BS. Take a really good show and throw it away. Keep showing the crappy American Idol, but get rid of anything actually good.
I really hate that networks like Fox & others won’t give non-reality shows a fair chance; it’s 1 or less season then goodbye. I happen to have greatly enjoyed watching Almost Human. Almost Human deserved to be renewed over shows such as The Following!
I thought it was a really great show and should have been picked up by fox for another season. damn you fox for cancelling a great show like this. you keep putting on shows like this and the cancelling them .
That would be right, another series that I watch down the tubes yet they keep shows on that only appeal to the 18 year old demographic. Come on, wake up there are more people in this viewing market who are over the age of 25 that still want good tv, sick of reality TV shows that flood the market and stupid rehash shows that are just a waste of your time and all because the 18 year old’s watch it. Hello people over the age of 49 buy products too!
There are a lot of shows that could of been cancelled. Why this one?????????
POWERES THAT BE BRING BACK ” ALMOST HUMAN “.
This cancellation announcement is the big disappointment of the season for me (at least until they lower the axe on The Tomorrow People or The Crazy Ones or some other show I really, really liked). Just like last season I had to lose “Terra Nova,” now I have to lose “Almost Human”…! Both of those shows had tons of potential and room to grow in a second season. Stupid FOX.
I was kind of expecting this. Every episode I’ve watched with friends and family, we would joke, “We like it. When’s Fox going to cancel it.”
They must have some more reality shows that were “strong contenders.”
Almost Human is s good show. I’m shocked and saddened by this decision. It actually had a wonderful cast, and the premise on which it was based wasn’t too far- fetched. But the so-called ratings seem to disvount the slightly older demographic that may actually watched a program with commercials rather than typing it and which appreciate a good story line rather than a frivolous talk show or Idiotic reality show.
I didn’t know this was still on. I tried watching, but it was so bad. Good cast, but they were wasted on this mindless show. Fox seems to be having a hard time finding hits. They are getting desperate. Why else would they bring back Jack Bauer?
Fox, YOU SUCK!!
If it wasn’t for Bones, I wouldn’t watch anything on fox other than football and the UFC.
The following which they renewed, has gotten progressively more and more stupid.
Almost Human was an excellent show, and deserved better.
