Telly’s Take
The ratings have been pretty bad so it’s clear that this freshman comedy can’t stand on its own four legs. I expect this one to be cancelled after one short season. Subscribe for free updates on all Downward Dog cancellation and renewal news.

What do you think? How do you feel about ABC cancelling its Downward Dog TV show? Would you follow this TV series to another network?
I love this show! I’m so tired of all the zombie, walking dead, sy-fi, monsters, and absurd game shows.
This show was a breath of fresh air. I looked foward to it every week and am getting ready to watch the last two shows, sadly.
I really think you need to give it a longer chance or try to find another network to give it a chance.
I’m so disappointed.
Love Downward Dog. Classy, poignant, funny. Found it by accident. Never saw promo’s for it. Hope it finds a new home.
Downward Dog was one of the best new shows I’ve seen in recent years. Refreshingly different, and great story line. I’m so disappointed in ABC for making the decision to cancel it after just one season. Hoping it’s picked up by a better network!
We hope and pray another network except the show. We love Martin’s dry sense of humor
I hope another network picks this up. We love the show. We will miss Martin’s dry sense of humor.
I love DOWNWARD DOG PLEASE GET PICKED UP.WITH ALL THE SADNESS IN THIS COUNTRY,I LOOKED FORWARD TO DOWNWARD DOG.SHE WAS A NORMAL GAL NOT A FAKE STARVING ACTRESS AND A LOVING DOG WITH COOL VOICEOVER.PLEASE SOMEONE RENEW,START PETITION
This show is so good! It s also a clean show, every week I look forward to this show. Please don’t cancel it!
I will follow this show to the ends of the Earth. I live it, never miss it, think about the characters, almost worry about them as friends, I look forward eagerly to each new episode and watch some of them more than once. PLEASE someone don’t take my DD from me. Waaaah and Woof.
Love from

I absolutely love this show! Cannot believe that it could be cancelled….. they did not even give it a chance. Explains all the junk programming that stays on the air!
I absolutely LOVE Downward Dog! Please don’t cancel. It’s one of the best shows on TV. DONT cancel.
Love Downward Dog. Great show with a message. Advertise and let people know how cute it really is.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL. LOVE this show. So uniquely different.
PLEASE do NOT cancel Downward Dog! It is THE BEST show EVER—so unique and endearing. Allison Tolman is great, as are all of the characters and they couldn’t have picked a better dog to play Martin! That sweet little face climbs right into your heart and his little commentaries on life, as he sees it, are sheer PERFECTION & GENIUS! I can not wait for the next season and can’t believe the first was SO SHORT! YAY DOWNWARD DOG & YAY ABC for coming up with this show!
Totally agree with the comment above. The characters are perfect and this pup possesses profound wisdom on life. Just watched last evening – so impressed with all episodes. Its funny, yet soul searching. Love it!!!! PLEASE
RENEW. Would like to see it in a different time slot. Don’t think it’s had a fair chance. It’s up against AGT!! 8:00pm in the summer is too early to watch TV. Lots of people outside. Also, it has adult content. Not suitable for children. Thanks so much for considering!!!!
Keeping fingers crossed that they keep Martin and Nan!! LOVE them!!
Please do not cancel Downward Dog. This is such a sweet show. I would be so disappointed in ABC if they canceled it.
