It looks like Cristela Hernandez has a bright future ahead of her — unfortunately the same can’t be said for the Cristela TV show. ABC has cancelled the sitcom after one season of 22 episodes.
On Cristela, a young Mexican-American woman (Cristela Alonzo) works to become an attorney while juggling her responsibilities to her traditional family. The rest of the cast includes Maria Canals-Barrera, Carlos Ponce, Terri Hoyos, Gabriel Iglesias, Sam McMurray, Justine Lupe, and Andrew Leeds.
The sitcom debuted in October 2015 and attracted a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.5 million viewers. That was a decent start for a Friday night show but the ratings lost quite a bit of steam over the course of the season, falling as low as a 0.8 demo rating with 4.1 million viewers.
Those numbers weren’t good enough to mandate a second season so ABC has decided to cancel Cristela instead. The final episode aired on April 17th.
What do you think? Did you like the Cristela TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed? Why do you think it didn’t attract a bigger audience?
I don’t think Cristela was given a chance. This is a good family show that we looked forward to watch every Friday night. I hope ABC changes decides it made a mistake or another Network picks it up. The networks are to quick to pull quality shows with good actors. This doesn’t give the viewers any motivation to invest in new shows because the networks are to quick to cancel. Gee, maybe this is the reason why new shows fail.
Come on give Cristela on more chance.
This show each time talked about values and sending a good message.
A strong family show
I feel it is not fair to Christela to be cancelled after only one season. It was just getting started. It never got a chance.
I am so sad and disappointed that Cristela was canceled. I looked forward to watching it every Friday night. It was family friendly and hilarious.
Great show hilarious real life situations, good family show. Not that many out there I suppose people just want to see violence.
Cristela is an awesome show! There’s nothing out there like it. I’m tired of networks cutting quality shows before they really have a chance. This sucks!
My family and I LOVED watching this show. There are not many shows that you can enjoy with your children, but this was definitely one of them. I am saddened that ABC did not take the time to look at the collective whole of its lineup to ensure all members audience members viewing choices were addressed. Wholesome shows with a good message are becoming harder and harder to find. Primetime TV has less and less for families to enjoy together each year. So sad!
Cristela was a great sitcom. Why couldn’t it have been moved to a different night?
This is unbelievable that cristela is canceled this show made me laugh it reminds me of my Hispanic background. The new show american crime is renewed for a 2nd season
Wow.. I not impressed with it or how the ratings go. I would rather laugh that watch a show that makes me angey.
Finally a good family show for Friday nights & it’s canceled. Very, Very Sad! Cristela is Hilarious! I will miss this show for sure.
Pissed off they always doing this to me. Why !? They got disent ratings why cancel it
Noooo why?!! I love this show.
So sad this show was cancelled. It was absolutely hilarious. I never had to feel uncomfortable watching it with my family because it was one of the few family-friendly sitcoms left on TV. I think the only problem was that it came on on Friday nights. Such a shame!
Sad to see this go. Sparked conversations with my mother and wife and really brought us together on Friday nights. ABC misses out on a great show, and a growing audience…..
this is really sad I can not belive this show it is really funny. A good show to watch on Friday nights. I think this show should come back. They is no reason to stop this show.
