After posting a series low in the ratings last night, ABC has decided against ordering additional episodes of Dirty Sexy Money. Does that mean it’s cancelled?
Dirty Sexy Money follows nice-guy lawyer Nick George (Peter Krause) who takes over his late father’s only client, the wealthy and powerful Darling family. Tripp Darling (Donald Sutherland) is incredibly influential but is living proof that money isn’t everything. His relationships with his wife Letitia (Jill Clayburgh) and their five grown children is sometimes shaky at best. His adult children are politician Patrick (William Baldwin), promiscuous Karen (Natalie Zea), corrupt clergyman Brian (Glenn Fitzgerald), and immature, party-loving twins Jeremy (Seth Gabel) and Juliet (Samaire Armstrong). Other characters are played by Blair Underwood, Zoe McLellan, Lucy Liu, Will Shadley, Laura Margolis, Bellamy Young, Candis Cayne, Shawn Michael Patrick, Chloe Moretz, Sheryl Lee, Andrea Smithson, and Daniel Cosgrove.
Money debuted in September 2007 on ABC. The premiere episode attracted 10.44 million people and a 3.6/12 rating /share of the 18-49 demographic. The following episodes dropped considerably in the ratings but ABC decided to take a chance and renewed Money for a second season.

Since its return on October 1st, the ratings haven’t gotten any better. Last night’s viewership represented a series low. As a result, ABC has decided against ordering any additional episodes for the season, effectively cancelling the show. There’s a slight chance that Money could return in the future but, with its ratings history, that’s not likely to happen.
The cast and crew are currently finishing up shooting the final episode. It’s not known if it will include any kind of closure for the show’s ongoing storylines.
For now, Money remains on the ABC schedule. If the network pulls it before airing all of the episodes, they’ll likely be released online or, at the very least, be issued on DVD. Stay tuned! 
LOVED DIRTY SEXY MONEY!!!! OMG, I don’t watch TV, but I would record Dirty Sexy Money, and watch it after the kids went to bed. Love Peter Kaurse, He is soooo sexy!!!!
I loved Dirty Sexy Money. Cancelling was not good.
It was the new DALLAS as far as I am concerned.
I hope they come up with a show similar in format
in the near future!! All the actors was excellent in
their roles.
I LOOOOVVEEDDD this show!! Soo upset it is no longer on the air! 🙁
I cannot believe you cancelled DSM! You finally get interested in a good nightime show and it disappears! It was a show that really held your attention and made you really look forward to the next episode. Please reconsider!!!
Deda says,
DSM has been cancelled!!?? Poor Ratings!!?? No faith in the possibilities of good entertainment and good acting!!?? Maybe DSM should switch to to the “Mad Men” station where they keep the faith in a good program. My whole family loves the DSM show. 10 pm is not an especially good time for ratings in anyone over 35. Bring on a new reality show and watch for the boycotts.
You executives are unbelievable, another show cancelled, I loved watching this show, this was the third show that just disappears. Well guess what? soon your viewers will get smart and just quit watching. I mean we can only watch so many stupid reality shows. Smarten up, bring back our favourite shows, or at least when you kill a show give us an ending…
Seriously annoyed viewer
Please don’t cancel this show. It’s the best there is out there right now, and the best there’s been out there for a long time. I’m not a huge TV fan, but I make sure I never miss an episode.
ABC…No,No, No. Don’t cancel DSM it is the best show on TV, Lost is a horrible show to replace DSM with. My whole family is outraged
DSM, I was hooked from the beginning and started to drift away when it got to crazy with him falling out with his wife… but i couldn’t stop watching! it pulled me right back in… if I ever miss an episode I watch it online… so… i guess that means i haven’t missed an episode. i love the show.
This is in reply to joanna drossos. I agree! Are you nick’s wife? We have much in common!
I just wanted to say that this is one of the few shows my whole family(me, my sister, mom, and dad) enjoys watching. I also want to add that we never watch it live, we TiVo it. And I know plenty of people who watch it as well, but just TiVo it. So keep it, we are watching Dirty Sexy Money, just not live.
My husband and I look forward to “The Darlings” every week only to learn it is to be cancelled. Just when the plot has really gotten good. PLEASE NO MORE REALITY SHOWS. They are for a younger generation and the largest demographic now are the baby boomers and we hate them…
KEEP DIRTY SEXY MONEY AND ELI STONE………………………………………………….
Easy fix to save Dirty Sexy Money: Just add CSI to the title and America will eat it up.
i can’t believe DSM has been cancelled! there is so much garbage on television, such as all the reality shows, and instead of those getting cancelled, ABC decides to cancel one of the smartest and well-written shows i have ever watched (not to mention the talented cast). i hope that ABC reconsiders or another network picks it up.
This is why TV ratings are down. Why invest in a show when networks are just going to cancel it or they keep changing the day and time or show damn specials instead.
I bet Life on Mars is next!
