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 loved Christela I watched it all the time. In fact I don’t typically watch ABC except for there Friday night line up of….Last Man Standing, Cristela and Shark Tank. They need to bring back CHRISTELA it was such a Good show.
I am truly sad they cancelled Cristela. It was so entertaining. I may not be Mexican American or in the 18-49 group but I could relate because it was just about life. It made you truly just laugh. I don’t understand ABC, why did they cancel the show? I am truly saddened. I thank Cristela for sharing parts of her life with us. ABC I’m terribly disappointed in your decision to cancel Cristela.. There are few good shows to watch that are funny and entertaining. I truly hope ABC reconsiders.
Please bring Cristalla! I like watching Gisela every Friday night because answer better than blackish and better than the fresh off the boat and then then Modern Family they’re not funny comedies like they used to be christella was the best comedy ever. please bring back christella I would I’m going to miss it.
I totally loved this show! Please bring it back!
I love the show!!! Bring it back please! It’s the only show I look foward into seeing every week!
What a BIG mistake to cancel Cristela show. Cristela is a great funny and funny show.
I love the show please bring it back
I love cristela the most funniest show…. please bring it back
Wow! I can’t believe it. Cristela show was funny, not stupid. Story about cristela, not a dumb reality show with so much drama and out their dirty laundry. I don’t watch tv to much because of the junk that’s on it. But ccristela is cute and funny.
What??!!! Bring Cristela back! I need to see her and Josh live happily ever after!
We are so upset that Cristela was cancelled. We are mex-american and could relate to alot of the topics on the show – having your mom born in Mexico, but us being more “Americanized” has a funny dynamic – and this show demonstrated that. The Christmas and dating a “white” man episodes were hilarious but true! Think Friday nights were a bad slot to have this show aired…the 18-49 demo is usually out those nights. We hope another network picks it up – we would definitely watch it! Good luck Cristela – your show was a hit for us!
I love cristella. Please bring it back. It was a funny and decent show
awesome funny show, need more of the Cristela show.
Had I think abc is so dumb for taking cristela off she made a show about her life that we can relate too something that is not fake but real. That’s what lifes about now we don’t have a show like that cause abc wantend to take it off.
Bring a show back! Good show and funny
