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?
Why would ABC cancel this show? My kids and I loved this show!! I was shocked by the finale and can’t wait for the next season to start. Please tell me this will be renewed!!
Absolutely this show should be renewed. We want to know the ending!! Instead of playing all the reruns on TV right now, why don’t you play The Family!! Me, my family and my friends all hate these reruns!!!!! If you can’t bring it back….then tell me, can I purchase the full set of episodes? Hopefully the remaining episodes can be sold as a set. Please let me know if it can be purchased.
The Family is an excellent show with great writing and cast. I am very disturbed that it has been cancelled.
abc don’t give shows a chance unless it’s a Shonda Rhimes produced show. The Family was very entertaining and was full of surprises. But hey let’s keep Grey’s Anatomy on for a few more years
Geez…..what a great suggestion!! I hate Grey’s…..it is so sickening. Life in a hospital is NOTHING like they make it. They all act like dizzy, childish, immature teenagers in love. Although most teenagers act more mature than they do!! Yes, replace Grey’s with The Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The family is the best show on tv. Bring it back
Show began great, then took inexplainable twists and turns. If you’re going to do the “time travel” thing in your script, PLEASE have it make sense. The storyline began to dragggggg, characters said the dumbest things and
It kept dragging……. The finale was very good, I actually looked forward to the next episode hoping that it he show was finally off life support. Same thing with Containment. So glad that show is out of its misery as well.
Very upset! I couldn’t stop watching this show. Please reconsider!
This is extremely disappointing especially with the last scene.
Why are you canceling this show just when it is starting to be resolved.? This is why people hate watching new shows on abc.. Because of idiots that cancel the good ones and leave the crap on for season after season.. I am totally done with abc…along with many many of my family and friends.
This sucks! I really enjoyed it and couldn’t wait each week to watch. I thought it was a good one. Can’t stand when networks do this continuously to viewers.
Finally got a show that kept you on the edge of your seat and now it is cancelled!!!!! So upsetting!
So upset! all the good shows which are very few get cancelled while stupid shows continue!! Especially after Adam calls Ben to get his life back and you pull the plug!
so tired of getting into programs and they just take them off mid stream and leave you hanging this is not good they did this with dallas they could at least have a 2 hour special to end it and not leave you hanging. All this stupid stuff on after my other shows are cancelled I will stop watching tv it is just not worth it.
cant believe they cancelled this show. Finally a show that’s not a repeat and they cancel it. Not happy about this……time to get rid of tv altogether if this is what they are going to do.
What are you thinking?? I loved this show, could not wait for Sunday night.
Please rethink cancelling The Family and lets see what happens when Adam
really comes home.
Please renew this show. My mother & I love this show. It keeps you interested that you can not wait until the next show.. This is again another great show you have decided to cancel.
My family loves this show!!! I’m so tired of good shows being cancelled while crappy stupid ones are renewed. It’s getting old. I now hate getting attached to shows because you always end up cancelling them. What will you put in its place…some stupid cartoon that will last 10 seasons?? Pfffft…OVER IT!!!
