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?
Please renew this show
Loved watching it on Sunday
Storyline was intriguing
Was very disappointed at the cancellation of this show. Have many friends who feel the same. Hope ABC reconsiders.
Please bring back the Family! This show is very well done. Why would ABC want to leave us all hanging? We have to find out what happens!!!
PLEASE RE-NEW! Awesome show and each episode gave a twist and a turn!
Please bring back The Family. It was such a great show and brought the whole family together just to watch. I can not believe ABC wanted to end it on such a good cliffhanger. Excellent show please reconsider bringing this one back.
Normally, I watch TV peripherally while I’m playing World of Warcraft on my computer. The Family made me actually log out of my game, sit down on the couch, and pay attention. It made me want to know everything that was going on. I considered it a remarkable achievement in story-telling.
I loved The Family. Terrific program. Wish they’d reconsider decision to
cancel the series.
The Family was terrific. Hopefully ABC will reconsider its decision.
I wish ABC would reconsider. The Family was a terrific program.
I am so disappointed. I watch very little tv but watched this show every week. How can there be such a major breakthrough, such a cliffhanger and then it be cancelled. I’m seriously reconsidering what tv stations I choose to watch now.
I don’t understand..
This show was tangled in so many good ways.
Couldn’t wait for the next episode, and with the excellent cliff hanger that they left us with…sheesh!!! ABC needs to get their heads outta their A** and bring this show back.
Even better, some other network should grab it and run with it, like they did with Cougar town.
What is wrong with TV? One of the few shows on tv I like. Its suspenseful and entertaining and smart and scary without any gratuitous violence. I miss when they actually made shows for thinkers. Cancelled after one season?!!! Are you kidding. I tuned in every week me and my mother were so excited to see what happens next. I mean what does it take? I am tired of seeing the same shows on every network. This was different and it gets cancelled? They wonder why people switch to Netflix entirely.
I can’t believe it’s cancelled…..Are you kidding!Great show!Who in the world makes these decisions….They don’t no what good tv is…Great actors…Awesome story line….You people at abc don’t no what your doing!!!!
THATS IT!!! I am not getting involved in any more broadcast serial programs, Just to be left effin hanging. abc, cbs, nbc, fox, you ALL know what you can DO TO YOURSELVES!! I loved “The Family”. It’s intricate psychological dynamics had me hooked. Why do people do the things they do.? Life is complicated and this show demonstrated that. Humans do not have a grey area. It’s messy and painful and brings out the worst and the best of us.
This was an awesome show, and the suspense just became greater and greater with each episode! Every little story within the big story was even great and kept you on your toes! Great actors and much much better show than a lot that make it for years! I don’t understand why it’s being cut, but I was really looking forward to more seasons!
