After three seasons on Tuesday or Wednesday nights, ABC has moved American Housewife to Friday evenings, where the ratings are typically lower. Is this a sign that the end is near for the show or, could the alphabet network be planning to keep the series going for years to come? Will American Housewife be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned.
A single-camera family comedy, American Housewife stars Katy Mixon, Diedrich Bader, Meg Donnelly, Daniel DiMaggio, Julia Butters, Carly Hughes, 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 — Taylor (Donnelly), Oliver (DiMaggio), and Anna-Kat (Butters) — understand their family’s old-fashioned values, so they don’t end up carbon copies of their neighbors.

What do you think? Do you like the American Housewife TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
I like the show .I believe it should stay on.
We’ve watched American Housewife since it’s debut. We laugh through every episode. But, there is too much time (weeks sometimes month) between episodes.
Love Katy Mixon. Love the entire cast.
We watch it but I think the end is near.
We hope not. A nice family friendly sitcom.
Love this show!!! Get another season.
We love American House Wife! The whole cast is quite believable as a typical family with each character & situation. We love the way Kaite interacts with Greg, Taylor, Oliver, Anna-Kat & all their friends. Great show keeps us laughing and wanting more. No blood, guts or violence, just pure comedy!
