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.

Can’t believe ABC cancelled only show I actually enjoy. Please bring back!!!
I absolutely loved Downward Dog. I thought it was a touching, heartfelt., and loving show. I don’t usually like shows w animated animals, but Martin stole my heart. It didnt have a chance w the timing of the show during summertime completions. I pray it will get pucked up by another channel.
Iam very disappointed that the show was cancelled. I found it to be very philosophical and tender. Please bring it back!!’
Nooooooooooo, please don’t cancel Downward Dog. Martin & Nan are a perfect match, and Jason adds that romantic twist. The show is funny and reminds me of the antics my dogs do at home. Renew it…I’ve told tons of friends to watch and they’ve also gotten hooked on the show. A clean comedy for the entire family. 🙂
NO don’t cancel the show. It was getting really good by the finale. Give it another season. PLEASE
Please please do not cancel Downward Dog. This my husband’s and my favorite tv comedy ….it is laugh out loud funny. We would watch it everyday….we are total dog lovers….it just hits a very funny nerve for us. Will watch it wherever it lands….needs more publicity!!!
I would definitely seek out new episodes of Downward Dog which ever network carries them.
If another network renews it, they should stop having the dog say “like” so often. Funny show, but that particular thing turned just might be what turned a lot of viewers off.
So disappointed that Downward Dog has been cancelled. ABC hasn’t really given the show a chance. They release it at the beginning of the summer months when many people are actually on vacations , enjoying the long days or even outside playing with their DOGS!!! As a dog lover I so enjoyed hearing the dogs’ point of view. Please please please another network pick this great show up. I would definitely follow. Shame on you ABC!!!
I hope Downward Dog is picked up by another network. Then ABC can cry about losing a unique show. I usually watch CBS or USA, but I watch ABC for Downward Dog and Designated Survivor. ABC executives, please reconsider. There are so may dog lovers that would watch this show if you promoted it. Please, no more game shows in prime time.
I loved this show and want it to continue. I found it hilarious.
Very disappointed to learn of cancellation. Hope to see it picked up by another “network”. ABC dumps the best and most entertainingly intelligent shows (i.e., Galavant)!
I don’t think they did a good job describing the show. I went into it with skeptism but loved it. I hope they renew it. If you have animals it got to the heart of the relationship.
really enjoyed this show!!! it was funny and reflective and i hate when good honest shows like this get the axe. it made me laugh and happy to know the dog was from a rescue as well. hope another station will pick it up. also my dog enjoyed watching as well
I will go anywhere to follow the adventures of Nan and Martin. This is such a unique and intelligent show. I was crushed to hear it was cancelled. I pray some other network picks it up!
