What do you think? Do you like the Chasing Life TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I loved chasing life I worked nights so I had to record it they need to find a way to read DVR’s then maybe those rating would have been a lot higher. How I have to find another show that’s about REAL LIFE STUFF THAT PEOPLE GO THREW…
This is one of the best series I’ve seen in years. So sad its being cancelled. I work nights so i record it and my 3 granddaughters named above would watch it loyally every Thursday night with me but that’s ruined. Could’ve at least given it a good ending…thank u very much!!!
You’ve already cancelled…..it makes no dif, but this was a good show. The plot had many ways to head in the future. I liked it alot.
I feel very strongly that Chasing Life should be renewed for a third season. It is a good series which captured a family challenging obstacles in their lives and dealing with them as best as they can. I feel that this wholesome family series as captured families challenges that they encounter and can relate too.
I sure hope they reconsider airing the third season.
Sincerely,
Irma
I am such a big fan of the show!! I fell in love with it from the very first episode! I love everything about the story! April and her family, her love life, her friends, and how she deals with her cancer. I think the reason I love the show so much is because it’s real. It’s not all about drama, and stupid pointless things like a lot of tv shows are these days. April truly is my girl crush. Haha Chasing Life is my FAVORITE SHOW! Fans want to know what’s going to happen to her.. And Beth! Scratch… Read more »
It’s terrible to see such low ratings from such a great show. It’s so rare to see a show, especially a show on ABC Family, so willing to take risks in their storytelling instead of letting fans and twitter control so much. The acting and the writing, especially this past season have been incredible. Italia Ricci is amazing and deserves a lot more recognition for this role. It’s such a shame a cancellation is likely coming as the show has been at it’s strongest these last few episodes.
This show is great but the lead character is a bit irritating at times, she started off with an excellent personality and had so much potential as a character. However after the second half of season 1 (or ever since she met Leo) she has been treating as if she deserves all the attention in the world because she has cancer. SO SELFISH, she literally disregards her sister and best friend’s problems. I want the old April back, she was a much better and interesting character when she was with Dominic. Also I don’t think there much story to tell… Read more »
Chasing Life is an excellent show the ensemble cast is fantastic. It definately should be renewed. Unfortunately, the premise of this show is chasing life from cancer. I wonder how long they can keep it going with cancer being a terminal disease. If anything they should allow April and Dominic time to rekindle their love affair. Perhaps fit in the trials and tribulations of conception after cancer, to extend the life of the show. I think most watchers will be pleased to see a show such as this, a good 3 or 4 more seasons. The actors are seasoned and… Read more »
I definitely want a new season. I think the show is very inspiring & has pretty good story lines going w/ season two. I would hate for it to end at where they’re at. Please renew!
The second season just isn’t as good as the first. Many of the nice storylines and key characters of the first season went away or reduced.
1. GREER , Newsoffice staff , Uncle George, and soon Grandma – Gone
2. My favorite Beth doesn’t have much to do
3. Leo, Dominic, Brenna are much less interesting this season
4. Lost sister Natalie story had promise but never got going.
What a great show this is! I have friends that didn’t even know it was on again. I keep it set on my DVR to record all first run shows, so I never miss an episode. So the powers that be not promoting it and changing time slots has hurt this excellent show. Hoping for a renewal.
Sad its ratings have slipped.. if it had the cushy time slot it would be doing better. It did better in season 1 than that crap Stitchers. Moving it after The Fosters was a death sentence. . They should of left it be where it was. Changing time slots like that is silly, why change something that works. This network sucks it wont exist soon. Im not even going to watch anything on the network anymore, once they kill Chasing Life im gone. Ill collect the PLL DVDs im not watching that network anymore.
A lot of times the time slot sucks. It is a good show with a terrible time slot for me. Please save the show and keep it. It has a lot of potential for more years to come.
Chasing life is an ex show with excellent actors and has a great story line. I’m 71 years old and totally look forward to watching it eeach week. I hope the show will continue. Shows like this and the Foster’s are great so much better then the crap on most times
Sad that the ratings are so low, it deserves much better. Its a terrific show. They need to move it from behind The Fosters.. that move has killed it. I really want more episodes for season 2 and a season 3. If you like the show watch it live, online, on demand whereever you can to get its ratings up.
all the ratings are down. people are not watching tv.
I agree, every show is down from their past seasons
It will be canceled, it just went from The 4th most popular to the least popular in the ratings for abc family, even the sitcoms are getting better ratings
Ac cording to who? some poll? yeah because those are reliable? You people DO realize that these ratings numbers do NOT include Dvr, online viewing and their app? Which abcfamily unlike the Nielson’s DO take into account?
