Jane Lynch has had successful runs on Hollywood Game Night and Glee but the same can’t be said for her Angel from Hell sitcom. The CBS TV series has been cancelled after just five episodes reports Deadline. There won’t be a second season and, at this point, it’s unknown if the remaining first season episodes will even air.
Angel From Hell follows what happens when eccentric Amy (Lynch) — a bold, larger-than life woman who claims to be a guardian angel — starts messing with the life of dermatologist Doctor Allison Fuller (Maggie Lawson). Kevin Pollak, and Kyle Bornheimer round out the cast.
The sitcom was initially slated to start airing last November but its debut was delayed until January. The premiere drew a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.13 million viewers. The ratings quickly fell to a 1.3 in the demo with fewer than six million viewers. Word is that there’s also been creative issues behind-the-scenes.
Angel from Hell has been pulled from the schedule and will be replaced by a rerun of The Big Bang Theory this Thursday. Starting next week, 2 Broke Girls will replace the series in the 9:30pm timeslot.
What do you think? Do you like the Angel from Hell TV show? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled? Would you watch the remaining eight installments?
I just found this tv program last week…and I really enjoy it…perhaps cbs should rethink their decision and realize they didn’t promote it as they should have!!!! Wrong decision cbs !!!!! I just love. Jane in anything she’s in!!!
i love this show,Jane lynch is the best so funny, it must be too clean.
6 million isn’t enough for cbs?? any other network would be thrilled with those numbers. I’ve never found anything remotely funny about 2 broke girls.
I vote for the cancellation of Broke Girls. Inundate the sponsors with your views and stop using their products!
I did enjoy the show but cbs has been doing some stupid cancellations lately. The good thing to come of this is they needed a spot for 2 broke girls so hopefully that show won’t be in cancellation danger anymore
Man. We really love this show. So original and so funny, great chemistry with the cast. Is there a chance that the show could move somewhere else to continue?
Angel From Hell would have been far more interesting if the Allison character would have been of another ethnicity — any ethnicity. Instead we got Jane Lynch and polenta.
I never watch sitcoms but this one I am watching and now you cancel? Ridiculous. It is quite funny.
That’s a shame! 🙁 I’ve been enjoying watching the show, and it’s barely gotten a chance. Any show still in its “infancy” is going to struggle a little to get on its feet–Networks don’t even give them a chance, anymore, and that is shameful. 🙁 As a TV viewer, I give any show that seems worth watching at least a 3 episode trial period–Others should do that as well…You can’t tell from a pilot if a show it going to be good, necessarily (though I found the pilot of this series intriguing and unique). While the show is, sometimes, crass,… Read more »
I record this show every week, so not to miss one episode ! I’m really into this show. Look forward to it and now it’s gone, hope we are not getting another NCIS or Chicago depart of something instead. This is a great comedy, you guys making decisions should try laughing at yourselves for making such ridiculous decisions so quickly!
Ridiculous – this show is awesome; completely original and well acted. Seriously, what is wrong with these networks? They don’t even give these shows a chance to succeed. Ridiculous!!
Well, I am disgusted! I was watching this show and now they rip it away. I am really getting sick and tired of networks canceling shows so quickly. A large part of the problem with networks is…..they believe too much in the almighty rating system. How many of us are ever asked our opinion of a show???
I can’t believe that the Angel of hell
Cancelled and i hope it renewed, I just like the tv show
are you guys in sane this is a very good series why are you canceling it Like everything else you’re always canceling a good series why even the series forever was a great series and you canceled it
Abc and cab cancelled these. Not this site.
*abc and cbs. Stupid autocorrect!!
Helpful hint #1 – turn off autocorrect!
Yeah, the show could be better….but it’s not awful. They should at least air the remaining episodes.
CBS – you are nuts !!! This is the FUNNIEST show ever !! I am SO disappointed. At least air the remaining episodes. This sucks.
The show sucked big time. Jane Lynch was wasted in this fiasco.
