FX has announced that their Anger Management sitcom is ending next month. The series finale, which is also the comedy’s 100th episode, will air on December 22nd.
Revolving around an anger management therapist (Charlie Sheen) who has issues of his own, the cast also includes Shawnee Smith, Daniela Bobadilla, Michael Arden, Noureen DeWulf, Derek Richardson, and Martin Sheen. Selma Blair left midway through the second season.
Anger Management was part of a special 10-90 deal. If the first 10 episodes hit a certain ratings mark then a second season order of 90 episodes was automatically triggered.
No doubt bolstered by Sheen’s recent dismissal from Two and a Half Men, the first season attracted 2.98 million viewers with a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The second season has performed nearly as well. The 76 installments that have aired thus far have averaged 1.1 million with a 0.5 rating.
What do you think? Do you like Anger Management? Would you have watched a third season of this FX sitcom?
I have to agree with the statements made above. Stupid for canceling. It was a good,funny show. I don’t understand some of these yahoo’s decisions.
agreed
These network CEO’s are the stupidest people in the history of TV.
This was the best show in years, everyone I know loved it.
When Charlie refined the cast,
(new ppl) it was the most entertaining and fun show.
This is why the industry is suffering, lousey decision making and no taste, and no sense of business
I absolutely love this show!! Especially since Selma Blair left! The 2nd season has been GREAT & Im floored that its being cancelled.
agreed, Charlie is a gem, he really brought in a great new cast.
Yes, yess!! I would in deed watch season 3 if made !! <3 <3 <3 I love to watch Charlie as a therapist, it's funny! The script is amazing, the jokes are in place!! I just love it!! <3 <3 <3
I thought it was a really good show. The girls were always hot, the lines were pretty funny, it was entertaining. I would watch another season in a heart beat
How’d they get 100 episodes into 2 seasons? I watched damn near them all but thought it was 3 seasons. IT was only a mediocre show with mediocre cast support. Nothing close to Two and a Half Men.
It was a special 10/90 deal. If the first season of 10 episodes did well enough, FX was obligated to order 90 more. The deal ended up being a bust.
Like any sitcom there were some so-so shows but overall 85-90 percent were very entertaining. The supporting cast was very funny and when Charlie appeared alright “health-wise” he was even better than he was the last few years w Two and a Half. FX’s move of thr show to Monday and unpredictable airings hurt ratings. It should reconsider or the producers should shop it to another network. FX also had changes to top executives so petty politics likely had something to do w it.
maybe because the third seaon wasn’t advertised. I wondered what happened to it. I have my DVR programmed to record it and it did’t even find it. We can’t watch something that’s hidden.
second season
they always end a good show this was great but maybe he can start this show over the old slotted time for 2 and a half men
This sucks, the show was great unlike other garbage on tv.
Cancelling shows is what the “big” networks do now. They put a show on , sometimes for just 1 episode and then Cancel it if the rating aren’t through the roof! Television never used to be like this. When a show/series was introduced ,nobody worried that if they missed a couple episodes that they would never see it again. Constantly rotating in garbage shows with a few gems in between. It’s frustrating when dozens of shows are thrown at you and you have to choose the best ones in a short period of time. I’m tired of CBS, NBC, ABC,… Read more »
exactly!
remember ALL IN THE FAMILY?
1st season was a bust, networks almost canceled it and then we all know what happened.
Sheen will come back with something even better as he always does.
