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 missed the first few episodes. After seeing one episode, though, I absolutely loved the show. Incredibly clever. I started telling friends about it when there was only one episode left. I’m sure you would have a larger fan base if you came back for a second season. I would tune in to any network to see it. Viewers were just catching on when the season was ending. Bring it back! Bring it back!
These TV execs are idiots. I have still pretty much boycotted Fox since they cancelled Arrested Development. Now this. Please get rid of all the CRAP reality shows and KEEP Downward Dog! It’s THE best new show.
No one gave the show a chance…I started watching it when 4 shows were left of the season. It was WONDERFUL!! GREAT SHOW!! I AM GOING TO MISS IT
Typical ABC — keep all the crap like Bachelor, Bachelorette, Battle of the Network Stars and Once Upon a Time (which should have ended four years ago), and cancel an inventive, unique and bright show like Downward Dog. This show was well written, insightful and something I was proud to say I watched.
Loved it! Would follow it to another network!
loved everything about this wonderful,delightful, feel good show!finally a show worth watchingNot only great for viewers but for dogs everywhere , to show uptight owners to lighten up, be more patient.understanding and loving to our adopted family members,and enjoy them.why is america so obcessed with lowlife trash,ridiculous nonsense,and blood and guts shows for entertainment Bring back good ,lighthearted,fun, family shows such as Downward dog, for we decent people to enjoy.
It was the only NEW show that I was actually talking about. I loved it. I hope it appears on another network or better yet…Netflix..
I love this show! It’s funny and philosophical. Its characters are more like “real” people than most TV shows. Please give it one more season!
This is a lovely show – I hope is comes back for another season.
