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 am upset that Christela was canceled.
She was funny with her wise cracks..
I looked forward to Friday night,relaxing after a long hard week at work.
I hope there is a way to put her back on the air!!! They always seem to take the funny ones off..
We LOVED Cristela!! Please bring it back!!
This is terrible in a time that there is nothing good for the whole family to watch I loved cristela my whole family did even my 16 yr old son it was safe clean and like a real family. I just don’t understand does a show have to have sex, nudity, bad language violence or spoiled kids that miss treat family to make it.
Big mistake to cancel Cristela. One of the few shows worth our time to watch. Not many good smart shows on ABC anymore.
Cristela is one our favorites ,the show has great family values.
It is a family that works hard and takes care of their own and not afraid to show their
faith. A very funny show. the WHOLE family could watch
I do not think it should have been cancelled. I just finished watching the last of the first season on Hulu. I was so aggravated when I thought Hulu only had 1 season then very aggravated when I found out that was all that was made.
Abc or One of the other channels need to pick up this show we need more good and descent shows. I get tired of the stations telling us what we need to watch, they rather put a stupid or indecent show on. Bring back cristela!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome show. Growing up in a Mexican Immigrant family, a lot of what I saw so much resembles my family. To not give it a second season is crazy. 4 million viewers on a Friday night is good. Most people aren’t home to watch T.V. on a Friday night, especially the 20-35 range. I wish netflix or amazon would pick it up.
Nononono! That was such a great show! I was just looking to see when it is coming back and my husband and I are so disappointed!
I thought the tv show Cristella was funny and entertaining. I think you should give the show another season maybe on a different night
Why do all the truly funny, intelligent shows get cancelled?? Cristela was fresh , original and worth my time. It was something I would forward to watching every Friday.
I wish Cristela the best she is talented, bright and incredibly funny. Smart TV had a chance to resurface with this show. So unfortunate they cancelled this groundbreaking show!!
I loved it looked forward to watching it. It was true to our culture I am from the valley myself and m
y husband and I are floor installers and related to the program. I knew it wouldnt have much of a chance. Our programs just dont . George Lopez just got lucky.
I’ll truly miss this show.
I was looking forward to seeing it back but it’s too bad us Mexican Americans don’t have it and I think it’s not fair
It is an excellent show and shows all women they dont have to be the stereotypical lawyer of white decent or slender but a real beautiful Latina woman showing viewers anyone can be successful
I am a big fan of Cristrla I was fortunate to catch her comedy show at the San Jose Improv last year. And just caught her show last night what a TALENT. She nailed the ins and outs. Ups and downs of our CULTURE. ABC you haven’t seen the last of Cristela.
