You don’t have to imagine the future of Imaginary Mary any longer. ABC has cancelled the freshman TV series so there won’t be a second season.
The sitcom centers on fiercely independent single career woman named Alice (Jenna Elfman), who falls head over heels for Ben (Stephen Schneider), a divorced father of three. Meeting Ben’s kids is so stressful that the very idea triggers the reappearance of her imaginary childhood friend, Mary (voiced by Rachel Dratch). The cast also includes Nicholas Coombe, Matreya Scarrwener, and Erica Tremblay.
There were early signs of trouble for Imaginary Mary. Before the show even premiered, ABC cut its season one episode order down from 13 to nine. Then, the series debuted in March to a mediocre rating of 1.37 in the 18-49 demo and 5.39 million viewers. Since then, the ratings have slipped much further. Currently, season one is averaging a 0.92 rating in the 18-49 demo and 3.34 million viewers
What do you think? Have you seen Imaginary Mary? Do you think ABC should’ve given the series more time and a second chance?
Cancelling Mary was ridiculous. It was a well thought out premise with good writing, and some really really funny scenes.
People just seem to want the same kind of stupid garbage nowadays. Nothing creative like this.
I’m sick of Steve Harvey’s smug face. Cancel one of his 50 shows first!!!
You have to bring it back I’m a teen and I absolutely love this show and I have another friend that loves it with me #savemary
i think they never should have even aired the pilot.
the commercials for it were enough to make me want to set an alarm to remind me to unplug my television, just in case i accidentally flipped past it while channel-surfing. awful, just awful.
I Love this show and I do not want to see this cancelled I was really getting into this. it’s funny charming and right down cute so PLEASE do not cancel this show. there are other shows that do not need a second chance But this show does.
Yes I think they should give show a second chance I watch all up to the last which was episode 9 and I found that this was not only a cute show but funny.
Im 27 and i loved the show. It probably got cancled cuz there wasn’t enough subliminal messages for this new world order bullcrap 🙁 so sad.
