Last Resort has been sunk. ABC has cancelled the newbie drama. The network plans to air all 13 episodes but won’t order a back nine or a second season. ABC also cancelled 666 Park Avenue today and CBS dropped Partners as well.
The TV series takes place in the submarine Colorado when its officers are mysteriously ordered to destroy Pakistan. Sensing that something isn’t right, they require confirmation and are subsequently fired upon and hunted.
The cast of Last Resort includes Andre Braugher, Scott Speedman, Daisy Betts, Robert Patrick, Daniel Lissing, Dichen Lachman, Camille de Pazzis, Sahr Ngaujah, Jessy Schrams, and Autumn Reeser.
Though it received a lot of promotion, Last Resort debuted to mediocre ratings; a 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.31 million viewers.
The numbers declined over the course of the season and last night hit a new low with a 1.2 rating and 5.68 million viewers.
What do you think? Will you miss Last Resort? Given the ratings, should ABC have cancelled it?
Why is it the best shows get cancelled. Put it in a day and time slot where it won’t get clobbered. Is it any wonder the viewership is declining? You cancel the show and don’t do an episode with a resolution. Why should anyone keep watching. The network needs a few more brain cells!
Are you kidding me???? Incredibly disappointed. This week’s episode was the most intense yet!
Why is anyone surprised that ABC (or any network) wouldn’t cancel a series that is well written, intelligent, and actually develops characters? Guess it was too high-brow for the typical reality show watcher since it didn’t have brightly colored moving parts that people could bounce off of, didn’t drop people through holes in the floor when they answered incorrectly, and no one was asked dumb questions or given lifelines.
Nice going ABC. Continue to dumb down your programs for those people who don’t like to, or can’t think or figure things out for themselves. Sad, and pathetic!
One of the best shows out there and you want to cancel it? Makes no sense….You have to give it AT LEAST 1 season before you just decide to cancel it. My opinion: Horrible call on your part. My advice: Please reconsider your choice and keep the show going.
Way to go ABC…..when you fly out rumors mid way through the series, of course the numbers will go down because viewers don’t want to start watching something (i.e, routine) and then have it yanked!! Give it a and entire season…you Exects have no internal instincs!! I am very picky….and this is the best show on the rise!! LISTEN TO VIEWERS!!!
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I am blown away that this show is being canceled, I thought this was the best show on tv and by far the one I most looked forward to watching every week. abc… you suck! I hope a different station will pick this up, military channel, spike, somebody. I won’t watch anything including the news on abc after this. see ya
I will really miss Last Resort! Its really a great show!
I really liked this show. Loved the storyline and looked forward to seeing this show every week. I am really disappointed that the show is ending – hopefully they will be able to wrap it up versus just ending the episodes with no closure.
I have enjoyed this show immensely. The story line is fresh and compelling. I was compelled to watch week after week because of the cliff hanger endings. I don’t know what ABC wants out of a show but I guess it’s not great acting and and excellent story line. I am sorry to see it go.
this show is amazing great story line very suspenful awesome show
It sucks
This is very typical of ABC and usually why I don’t commit to watching new shows on ABC they rarely support the show and give them what they ned to survive. My husband and I really enjoy this show and are so bummed it was cancelled. Burned again for watching a show on ABC I have learned my lesson don’t fall for the same trap if you start watching a show on ABC they will cancel it.
This show is amazing. great story line, suspenseful and creative. they should give it another shot maybe on a different day & time.
Last Resort should not have been canceled. It was the best drama that’s been aired since 24. Big mistake
