What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, Dr. Ken follows the snarky and overly blunt Korean-America doctor, Kendrick “Ken” Park.

Suzy Nakamura co-stars as his wife, Dr. Allison Park, a psychiatrist and the mother of their children, Dave (Albert Tsai) and Molly (Krista Marie Yu). The cast also includes Tisha Campbell-Martin, Jonathan Slavin, Kate Simses, Dave Foley, and Dana Lee.

Telly’s Take
Several Friday night sitcoms have come and gone over the past five years as the ABC executives tried to find a good companion comedy for Last Man Standing. It seemed like Dr. Ken was the solution but the numbers have taken a sizable dip this season. My suspicion is that they will cancel this series. Not what the doctor ordered, I’m afraid.
5/17 update: ABC has cancelled Dr. Ken after two seasons on Friday nights. Details here.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Dr. Ken TV show would be renewed for season three? Are you sorry that ABC cancelled this comedy series, instead?
Yes there should be a season 3 of Dr. Ken because season left it open for a season 3!
Love Dr. Ken, he’s funny, sentimental, neurotic and the show represents just about every type of human being in a respectful way with a lot of humor. It’s everyday stuff that we need in light of what goes on in the world. Please don’t cancel it the show brings smiles to a lot of households.
ABC sucks
S
There are very few slapstick funny shows any longer . This was family friendly we all watched this and the last man standing. The only reason the Goldberg do well is because it’s the only 30 min show before the middle. I can’t believe ABC is cancelling this show and Last Man Standing. I suppose they want there numbers as a whole to drop. We don’t watch Reality TV so I suppose it’s a great thing they we have Netflix to turn on Friday evenings!
Sorry to see this light hearted well acted show go. The characters were hilarious and it’s nice to be able to laugh in this day and age.
I don’t get into reality shows, and I can’t into much of anything else except Dr. Ken. Please release season 3.
Please renew Dr. Ken! Love Ken Jeong and this show. The perfect break at the end of the week. The cast always stays engaged with the audience on Twitter which makes watching even more fun.
