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?
It’s just a shame, loved the show. Loved Detroit 187. Stop watching ABC people.
Me being a navy man, I love this show. It shows that we stand together in the navy, horrible that tye show was cxled, and lets see abc will cime up with some other garbage show to put on. Very disappointed in abc
Bad decision… really enjoyed the show. All I can say – ABC, the lunatics must be running the asylum (Cougar Town was on air for how long?). Maybe USA, TNT, or TBS could pick it up…?
NO it should not be cancelled. I loved it and the characters. BRING IT BACK!!
What a bad decision. This is one of two shows that I enjoy on ABC whom made this horrible mistake?
I am surprised this show was canceled. This show was very well written and a cliff hanger. I will miss it.
Not suprised the network canceled Last Resort. I suppose the patriotism and love of country didn’t sit well with the media. The show was well done and highly entertaining. Still, as I said, not suprised.
Cancelling Last Resort was a mistake. I can never figure out where these supposed polls come from, but the show is well done and I look forward to it each week. I would much prefer this show over any type of amateur-singing contest show, amateur-dancing show or the extremely foolish and nonsensical faux-dating shows — whatever their titles. I much prefer a STORY.
About time the TV executives woke up to themselves and cut the Reality crap! Like so many other people who have commented here, I am sick to death of the talent shows, Big Brother and DWTS-type rubbish. Unfortunately, greed drives all major decisions in every enterprise and no matter how good the show is, if people don’t watch it advertisers won’t pay for slots and TV execs will cut the show…
I can’t understand the logic in cancelling Last Resort but yet they keep Revenge and American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. I think AI and DWTS has run its course and should be done and give the American viewers good quality tv shows to watch that a family could all watch together. I hope they bring Last Resort back or better yet, a competiting network/channel picks it up and soars with more viewers and a better time slot!
pERSONELLY i THINK THAT SUCKS , WON OF THE BEST SHOWS IN A WHILE ON NETWORK TELEVISION AND IT’S CANCELLED BECAUSE WOMEN DON’T WATCH IT. DON’T THEY HAVE ENOUGH CRAP TO WATCH. THANKS ABC REALLY GOOD CHOICE I GUESS THEY’LL BE MORE BACHELOR OR BACHLORETTE OR SOME OTHER CRAP TO REPLACE IT.
I just found out this morning from a friend that the show is cancelled! OMG! I loved that show and watched it faithfully each week. I will miss it. Did not like the ending and would watch it again if it was renewed. 🙁
I love this show. My brother and I discuss it every week. You look at the garbage on TV nowdays and wonder if the average viewer has a brain the size of a pea. Just like Ashley Judd’s show “Missing” last spring- great drama- cancelled.
Sorry to lose another good show to the mindless dribble on most nights.
Oh no! I didn’t know that “Missing” was cancelled! I was waiting and looking forward to it airing again this spring. I loved that show. Sad….. 🙁
Great show! The ending was just that, an ending, it didn’t leave you hanging. Sorry to see it go.
It is hard for any new show to last these days with all these ridiculous “breaks” that the networks have now. They air three to four shows and then take a winter break. Then, they air another couple shows and go on an American Idol break. How is the audience supposed to follow a show that has so many interruptions? It’s bad enough that they have cut their episodes in half, but with all these breaks watching tv is becoming pointless.
Well said.
