ABC’s had mixed success with their new shows this year, but what about Downward Dog? The TV show just premiered in May and we want to know if you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season.
Based on the web series of the same name, the comedy follows the day-to-day life of Nan (Allison Tolman), as told by her increasingly lonely and philosophical dog, Martin (voiced by Samm Hodges). The cast also includes Lucas Neff, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Barry Rothbart, Siovhan Christensen, Ayden Mayeri, and Andrew Gorell.
Downward Dog has brought in pretty poor ratings for ABC so far. Currently, the sitcom is earning an average rating of 0.87 in the 18-49 demo and 4.40 million viewers. The network held the comedy until very late in the season and produced just eight episodes — likely signs that ABC doesn’t have a lot of faith in the show.
However, even with falling ratings, does Downward Dog deserve a second chance in your book? What do you think? Should ABC renew this canine comedy or cancel it?
6/24 update: ABC has cancelled the Downward Dog TV show after one season. Details here.
Yes, my family and I watched Downward Dog and looked forward to when it was scheduled. Our family’s ages range from 12 to 72….. so you had us all. What a shame you didn’t give it a second. Season. It would have proven
you wrong in thinking it wouldn’t have made it.
Yes this is a very entertaining show particularly when is focused on the dog. For pet lovers this validates what we think our pets are thinking or it is just fun to imagine.
Great show. Basically no one has seen it. They could have run it over the summer for more viewers. I’m sure the budget was not as high as modern family. The 3 major networks are not putting out the quality shows – some one will pick up this show. There is a lot to work with.
Yes! Best show on.
One of the best shows on tv.
It was a great and funny show. Please bring it back. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
Loved this wonderful show–both the human side and the dog perspective. Please bring this back. I think it needed more promotion.
I enjoyed Downward Dog. Yes please let there be a second season.
Big Disappointment when it was cancelled. Please bring it back with the same actors and Martin! It’s a show that exemplifies real life.
ABC made a very stupid mistake. more bachelor…really! finally some entertaining programing and ABC gets rid of it. this is the reason network television sucks and no one watches any more.
The Ratings Where Going Down By Episode By Episode It Was The Right Call And If They Gave It A Second Season They Would Have To Over Haul It And I Dont Think That Would Of Saved It
love the show. give it a chance to build more of an audience. networks cancel shows way to quickly
I hope they bring it back, I enjoyed it. Like the dog
I would watch Season 2 and beyond. Already watched every Season 1 episode twice.
I absolutely LOVE Downward Dog!!! PLEASE, PLEASE give us Season 2!!!
Love that show! Martin is the best! A very unique show, better than a lot of the shows on now.
