There won’t be a second season of Garfunkel & Oates on IFC. The cable channel has decided to cancel the comedy after one season of eight episodes.
Garfunkel & Oates revolves around the personal and professional lives of a pair of female comedy-folk singers as they try to make it in Hollywood. Real life duo Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci star.
Each of the eight episodes was directed by Fred Savage and they averaged about 140,000 viewers each. The finale, titled “Maturity”, aired on September 25th of last year.
What do you think? Did you like this IFC series? Do you think that Garfunkel & Oates should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
What an original idea for a show! Great jokes and actually nice music too. Why can’t a show of this quality make it to a major network? Very disappointed With IFC for canceling
Watched all 8 episodes, liked 3, was pretty much unmoved by the rest. Very hit or miss.
This was one of the best new series I’ve seen in several years. It made my DVR list along with Portlandia. It’s a little ironic that a network called Independent Film Channel would cancel a series based purely on the numbers. All independent film falls short of main stream viewership numbers.
The show as unfunny and unwatchable. Glad no one else is subjected to this trite hipster garbage…
Terrific series; insane that IFC dropped it.
Just called NetFlix asking them to pick up the series.
If you hate to lose Garfunkel & Oats do something about it.
I started watching this show late in the season but got caught up on all the episodes and loved it. It was smart and very funny and the two actors were very appealing. It’s too bad that the ratings were so bad and not enough people knew about how good it actually was.
I really hope they bring this series back. It was amazing!
This show was wonderful
HEARTBROKEN! I just discovered this show and watched the first season in 2 days. NETFLIX. … HEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP! Is there a petition out there?
Should have been renewed definitely worth another chance hope netflix picks it up. Was quite funny.
This show should’ve had more ratings.
I’m certainly disappointed in this cancellation. I really looked forward to each episode. I really liked the one with John Oates in it, more or less offering his tacit approval of their use of his name in their “second-fiddles” band. I like their fresh humor, their odd tilt toward life in general, and the songs, especially the songs. Dammit. They had a short stint of shorts on HBO. I liked that version of Pregnant Women are Smug the best. I’m sure they’ll show up in some other project. They had quite a few established entertainers do cameo appearances in their… Read more »
A great and funny show.
I worried that they would not return.
I think a more prominent station should pick them up.
HBO, Max either one.
Another network I don’t watch.
well, it’s happened again. Another quirky show that I really liked goes down the tubes.
perhaps like the Hell’s Angels, I’m a one percenter. Most everyone else seems to be lucky with their shows, but not me. oh well, I’ll just have to look for another decent show to watch instead. 🙁
