(ABC/Brian Bowen Smith)
Katie won’t be keeping her family on their toes for a sixth season. ABC has cancelled the American Housewife TV show so it won’t be back for the 2021-22 television season.
A family comedy, American Housewife stars Katy Mixon, Diedrich Bader, Meg Donnelly, Daniel DiMaggio, Giselle Eisenberg, and Ali Wong. The sitcom centers on Katie Otto (Mixon), a confident and unconventional mother from the wealthy town of Westport, Connecticut. Katie wants to “keep it real” stand apart from her community’s “perfect” parents and their entitled children. Katie’s logic-driven husband, Greg (Bader), supports her efforts as best he can. Together, they try to make sure that their three kids — headstrong Taylor (Donnelly), snarky Oliver (DiMaggio), and obsessive-compulsive Anna-Kat (Eisenberg) — understand their family’s old-fashioned values, so they don’t end up carbon copies of their neighbors.
Airing on Wednesday nights, the fifth season of American Housewife averaged a 0.55 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.95 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season four, that’s down by 7% in the demo and down by 9% in viewership.
The defacto series finale aired on March 31st. The comedy aired for 103 episodes.
What do you think? Do you like the American Housewife TV show? Are you disappointed that it’s been cancelled? Were you hoping that it would be renewed for a sixth season on ABC?
Awe what a shame, I enjoyed the show!,
I’m sorry to see the show go. I enjoyed it.
Thats too bad…really liked this show….I wish the would reconsider…
A real bloodbath at ABC! I agree with all the other cancellations, but not this one, although the show was better before all the cast changes. Too bad. I’ll miss Katy and Dietrich.
Why Take off a good comedy tv show? Isn’t there enough drama boring doctor shows that bore me to death. Go figure.
a great family show. i will miss a clean, refreshing show.
Please don’t cancel American Housewife. It is the best thing on Wednesday night.
Doesn’t seem to make sense why this was cancelled. Ratings were still pretty good and remained very steady from last season. There’s still time to reconsider…please.
Noooooo Don’t cancel American Housewife. It’s about the only funny show beside the Connors and Goldberg’s that is left on ABC . Just love Katy and Dietrich . Please bring it back!!
Noooooooo!!!! Why cancel such a good show!! guess it’s time for Netflix to pick it up!
One of TV’s best is now gone. Season six would have been great. So many lines to explore.
No..
Don’t let it go!
Sad to see this one go!
I’m very disappointed to see this show go away. And without a proper send off. I think its one of the top 10 comedies of the last 15 years
Bummer
