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.

I LOVED this show! It was funny, cute, and made me look forward to Tuesday night TV. Bring it back!
Please don’t cancel Downward Dog! Very relatable and fun. So upsetting!
Another great television show that ABC has canceled, I was a former all my children fan. Maybe if the character of Nan was A busty stick thin model type instead of real normal sized girl, it would’ve stayed on longer. I will miss the show it really made me laugh.
One of the few shows we looked forward to watching as a family. Disappointing ABC.
Very dissappointed. Downward Dog is a truly relatable show, from my humble opinion, as a dog owner and person who is tired of reality television and the drama of trashy shows broadcast on public television. The show is enjoyable, cute, realistic (in the sense that we can relate as millions of people are dog lovers and often put word and attitudes to our dogs…please renew as it is a small piece of clean, sane humour in a viewing world which is in polar opposition.
Very upset that the show eas cancelled. It waa clean, witty and cute. It allowed me to see my dog in a different, light- hearted way.
So disdappointed with ABC. One of the few shows which does not have drunkin men or women having sex with mulitiple partners all in the name of finding a potential “spouse” who prentend proses marriage only to end up on some rehab show show later…it is clean comedey whixh 3.5 million people enjoyed with a clear consciousnes…guess dirty and trashy is the new normal…sad.
We love this show. It is so easy to watch
And so differently creative.
Please renew this series.
Both my husband and I adored this television show. In fact, it became the ritual among my friends, my sister, who lives out of state, to contact each other the next day via our favorite social media platform to discuss the show and compare Martin’s antics to what our dog’s recently did in our homes. The show finally “proved” what pet owners have long known, which is that they are in a constant state of communication with everyone associated with them especially those they love like Nan. Please, with the state of our Country, we need a unique, feel good… Read more »
No, no! Please don’t cancel this show! So creative & enjoyable – love it!
Please renew this show! If not on ABC, then hopefully it will find another home. Not only did I get my husband to watch it (doesn’t like comedies), but he fell in love with it. Our black lab is intrigued and watches the show along with us now! We will follow this show wherever it goes.
Please bring this show back, I never miss it, with all the junk on TV it is such a treat to be able to have a family night to watch a TV show , The best show on TV for adults and kids I love it,
Please don’t cancel Downward Dog! My family and I love the show. We want to continue to watch. If it moved to another network, we will absolutely follow to watch.
My husband and I loved Downward Dog and were very disappointed in its cancellation. PLEASE RECONSIDER. In today’s society of seemingly constant angst and turmoil, we found a haven of comfort in the relationship between Martin and Nan that made us laugh (and sometimes shed a tear) about situations most of us have encountered yet from a very different perspective. It was thirty minutes of REAL entertainment.
Downward Dog is delightful! It was so nice to find some new, entertaining and funny viewing on the summer schedule! Please bring back Martin and Nan!
I love this show, Please don’t cancel it! It is such a high quality show and those are so hard to find
