Nothing but bad luck for this family. ABC has cancelled their freshman drama The Family, TVLine reports.
The drama centers on the Warren family, whose youngest member returns after mysteriously disappearing 10 years prior. The cast includes Joan Allen, Rupert Graves, Alison Pill, Zach Gilford, and Liam James.
The series premiered to decent ratings, but they have dropped steadily over the course of its first season. The Family began with a 1.48 in the 18-49 demo and currently holds an average of .83 in the 18-49 demo and 3.276 million viewers.
The season one and series finale airs on May 15th.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Family? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
ABC you continue to disappoint! Kill off a old show that ready to put out of its misery…The Family had so much potential, my husband just caught up and we watched it together LATER…maybe people can’t watch at the original air time due to schedules, kids etc…but people were surely searching it out when they FINALLY got a chance to sit and watch ADULT tv together…and you cancel Nqshville….you suck!
Please re consider! I LOVE THIS SHOW!
This is a great show! I am very disappointed. Week after week I am totally captivated and often re-watch episodes during the week. The mystery and drama is so good! I just can’t believe it’s cancelled. It is unique and intriguing and I don’t have it all figured out like typical shows. I wish they reconsider.
Not the first time ABC has cancelled a perfectly good show. Very disappointing as I really liked this show. This is why I hesitate to watch new shows because you never know if they will just be yanked off the air or not. Jeesh, at least give season two a go. Now I bet the finale will be left with unanswered questions which will really tick me off.
So very true! Several new shows that ABC cancelled last year and this year could take the place of some old show that have (now) been cancelled or are on short legs
I really can’t believe this. My husband and I love this show. We look forward to watching this every week. This is a bummer.
Such a great show… Very upset ABC isn’t renewing..
This was one of the very few shows I watch each week. Very sad to see it is being cancelled. Shame on ABC!
This is the best show on. I cannot believe it has been canceled. Big mistake ABC.
This is literally my favorite show that ABC may have ever created…and for them to just cancel it after one season, makes me so angry! I will no longer be watching ABC for anything! You didn’t even give it a chance! It was the an amazingly intriguing story line with incredible actors and it got more and more interesting each week! You really messed up on this one ABC….You’ve lost a viewer of all ABC shows forever.
This was the first show in a long time that my wife and I really got in to. We couldn’t wait for it to come on. If that can’t survive, what can?!
I am annoyed that ABC has cancelled this excellent TV series. What I like about this show is the unexpected twist & turns. Why do all the good shows get cancelled?
this show should not be cancelled! have plenty of friends and family that watch this every week and look forward to it. it cannot end!
Looked forward every week to watching The Family – a series that I believed was a very good drama. It appears that some of the best shows get cancelled after just one season. I can’t understand why more viewers failed to appreciate this particular show. Sad to see this show cancelled.
Pathetic that The Family was cancelled…in my opinion it was one of the better shows on network television. It had writing that kept me on the edge of my seat, and a great cast with great acting. Joan Allen was amazing!! I am sick of the same shows with young beautiful actors in different locales (hospital,legal office, FBI school-THATS REAL LIFE) this was different and interesting, and made you think!! It was cable quality on network TV, and not many shows can say that.
I watched this show, finding the premise interesting, but in the end, none of the characters was likable much at all, and the plot seemed to grow more and more ridiculous. It was a shame, because Joan Allen is a fantastic actress.
