MTV has decided to cancel Good Vibes, ruling out the possibility of a second season. Created by David Gordon Green, the animated series ran for 12 episodes on MTV, from October until December 2011.
The show was paired with Beavis and Butt-Head and attracted more of a female audience than the Mike Judge series. According to Deadline, there were discussions between the cable channel and the Good Vibes producers about possible ways to keep the show on the air. Though MTV execs liked the direction of Good Vibes, the show ultimately wasn’t attracting enough viewers to justify a second season.
The series premiered opposite the sixth game of the World Series and attracted a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.6 million total viewrs. That was about about half as many viewers as lead-in Beavis and Butt-Head brought in. The season (now series) finale drew just a 0.2 demo rating and 490,000 viewers.
In some ways, it was a small miracle that Good Vibes ever became a series in the first place. It was initially developed at Warner Bros. TV and FOX ordered a pilot in 2008 with Adam Brody, Alan Tudyk, Danny McBride, Debi Mazar, Jake Busey, Josh Gad and Olivia Thirlby providing the voices. FOX passed on the pilot but the producers kept working on finding the project a home. They did in 2010 and were able to keep the voice cast intact for the MTV run.
The fate of Beavis and Butt-Head, which finished its latest season on December 29th, is still up in the air.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Good Vibes has been cancelled? Did you like the animated series?

I loved this show. a lot of my friends watched it n had bad trips while watching it. but I loved it… I dont know why they didnt but maybe wewere thinking differently.
I didn’t know this show even existed til I found it on Netflix. Watched the first episode and was hooked! I think this show was great even though it is somewhat adolescent. MTV made a big mistake in cancelling this show. I agree with others, they did not promote the show properly, otherwise this show would have a much bigger following. Remember Family Guy? They cancelled the show before enough people were exposed to it and brought it back to a huge audience later on. This show is just as good, but you need to put it on at a… Read more »
