The CW hasn’t announced that Hart of Dixie has been cancelled but series creator Leila Gerstein and star Scott Porter say that the show is ending.
Hart of Dixie follows a doctor (Rachel Bilson) from New York becomes a general practitioner in a small town in Alabama. The rest of the cast includes Porter, Jaime King, Wilson Bethel, Tim Matheson, and Cress Williams.
Last Friday, Gerstein tweeted, “The final three episodes of #HartofDixie begin tonight. Buckle up, I think you will enjoy the ride. Xo” She followed that up with, “No one out there loves #HOD more than me. I would have gone 17 years! But I assure you, we prepared for this… And the finale will be tremendously satisfying to all.”
Porter tweeted but then deleted this message: “Folks wondering why #HartOfDixie got canned? Simple numbers game folks. Ratings still matter and dictate wins and losses. You have to WATCH.”
While Hart of Dixie’s ratings are not very good, they are up by about 20% season-to-season. It’s been averaging a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.17 million viewers. Those are the same as Reign’s numbers, a show that has the advantage of airing behind one of the network’s top shows and has already been renewed for next year.
What do you think? Do you think that Hart of Dixie is ending? Are you okay with that?
So,heartbroken to see Hart of Dixie cancelled! It was one of the most refreshing and true to life living programs suitable on TV, and a pleasure each week! So tired of all the vampire, blood drinking. Brain eating, supernatural programs on TV…for REALL…doesn’t anyone live in the Real World anymore? Every time a great TV show comes on, it’s cancelled because of stupid and outdated techniques of rating who is watching them at Prime Time!!! Not all are now able to Watch at Prime time!! Get with the NEW WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY AND THOSE WHO WORK MORE THAN ONE JOB… Read more »
I’m so upset with the talk of canceling this show I love it so much! My whole family watches it; brother, sister, mother, and father! It’s such a lovely different show unlike the crap they show on TV now a days. I’m so disappointed!
PLEASE DONT CANCEL, THIS SHOW IS THE ONLY THING KEE ING MY LIFE TOGETHER!!!!
Great show! So sorry to hear it was cancelled! I agree with Patty, another great show that was cancelled way too soon!
I love this show and agree with above moments that the means for tracking viewers is outdated. I watch from Hulu plus and haven’t found a show this enjoyable with limited violence or obscene material since Gilmore Girls. Y’all have dropped the ball on this one. Tracking viewers would be more accurate if there was a 1800 number or txt that aired after the show to just let everyone be able to say whether or not they wanted it canceled. We do this for voting people off shows…same thing.
I love this show. Please continue. Excellent cast and episodes. This show is so down at home, love it. Hart of Dixie is a lots better than violence, sex, & crime movies. For me this show rates above all other renewed shows.
I just watched the finale last night. So funny and cute. So sorry it’s cancelled. What a nice laid back down to earth charming show. What a shame.
It is such a nice show. I will miss it.
I find it irritating that the only viewers that matter as to whether or not it gets cancelled are the US ones.
So disappointed that they’ve cancelled this show!!! Absolutely love it and haven’t found anything this delightful and refreshing since ‘Gilmore Girls.’ Two great shows which were hauled to the mortuary far too soon!! As for ratings, I think the outdated Nelson system of tracking a show’s fan base, is as ludicrous as tracking a celebrity’s following by how many hand written letters they receive. There are many outlets by which we watch our favorite programs. As a nurse, who works four twelve hour shifts from 7pm – 7am, with an hour drive in between, I always catch my fav’s on… Read more »
