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?
Whyyyyyyyyy the helllll are you guys not gonna air season 2 I’ve been looking foward to seeing the 2nd season for cristrla that is my show I’ve watched season 1 over n over its hilarious and they should continue the series you guys need to put it back on and air season 2 please and thank you
It’s a shame such a funny show was cancelled and a show such as UNDATEABLE is still on
I don’t watch much TV but when I do I enjoyed Cristella. A funny clean show that every age could watch. Of course my opinion does not matter because I am 59. I am not your target demographic! You should hire me to tell you if a show should be kept on the schedule or not. Anything I like means it will be cancelled. I actually like a clean show free of profanity, violence,explicit sex scenes, and demonism. This show had none of that so of course nobody likes it. I hope you know sarcasm when you read it.
Right on! So very true about what keeps a sitcom on a well known TV conglomerate. No such thing as a clean and funny show!!
Really?!! ABC, you drop CRISTELA to add the ridiculous Dr. Ken sitcom??? WOW!! What a disappointing choice on your part! I will gladly find another network to watch on Friday nights and every time I turn on my television. Shame on those of you executives that chose money over quality family time!
This was a great show! It was wrong to cancel it. It was a show where the situations were more real life instead of way out there. The characters and story plots were funny and not out of control goofy, like so many sitcoms are these days. It was becoming more interesting as it went on. This was a brilliant show and Cristela Alonzo is a brilliant comedian! It was filled with all kinds of different characters. Cristela is a girl who’s trying to be someone in life but is always hitting road blocks but is determined not to give… Read more »
This was wrong to cancel such a great family show. There is no excuse for this! I know darn well enough people liked it. What is wrong with you canceling a great show like this>>>>????? We are really getting tired of this!!!!!!
This was one of the best TV shows out there and now that it’s canceled I don’t know how to show my family values that we need
I loved the show!!! I just wish the actor that played her mom was nicer.
THEY CANNOT DO THIS! THIS IS CRUSHING! THIS IS PART OF MY FAMILY’S TRADITION! Every Saturday we would get on the couch and watch the newest episode on HULU. We would watch the Goldbergs, Last Man Standing, Once Upon a Time,and CRISTELA! This outrageous!
This was a great show sad to see it’s not coming back
One of my favorite shows please give it one more chance
I just saw the Dr. Ken show. BRING BACK CRISTELA!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the show watched it every week, I thought all the characters where great!
I think it should be brought back
it was wonderful…I loved it. please do it again.
Loved it. Watched every episode at least 5 times. You didn’t give it a chance. It would of took off.
I agree, it would’ve took off! It was taking off for me and my girlfriend ever since we watched the first episode!
I was so looking forward to another season of Cristela. I am so very disappointed to see it go. It was funny and very entertaining. It was a show that represented the hispanic culture in a good wholesome way bringing their culture to the forefront. There is not another show like it on primetime TV and that is a shame. You see other TV shows representing other cultures using African American culture as there way in and they survive. Go figure! And here is a show that was standing on it’s own merits showing how the hispanic culture see the… Read more »
I agree with you. I really liked this show. The lead actress was genuinely funny yet she helped portray a more positive view of many in the Hispanic culture. I work in healthcare in the Midwest and so many nurses are Hispanic yet no one every realizes how much education they went through to get their career. I’m really going to miss this show. I tuned in to ABC Friday night because I thought the show was coming back only to find out that they didn’t renew the series. Yet Last Man Standing is still on, I don’t see how… Read more »
This was one of the best TV shows out there and now that it’s canceled I don’t know how to show my family values that we need. I also think that this show showed great family values. And some insight on today’s world and what we go through in today’s world I think this is one of the shows out there that we could watch as a family and I have to worry about inappropriate S plus the campus laughing all night long
I was looking forward to seeing another season, too. There were so many cliffhangers. Daniella has lost her job so what will she do now, go back to school or get a new job? Josh is going to become Cristela’s assistant until he passes the bar exam and it’s showing that he and Cristela have feelings for each other. Maddie is finally growing up and maturing. But what was most intense was that Cristela was finally moving but her mother is coming with her! The 2 of them living together! Now that would’ve been incredibly funny to watch! This show… Read more »
