It looks like the story of the Sutton clan has come to an end. ABC Family has quietly decided to cancel Lincoln Heights after four seasons.
Lincoln Heights tells the story of Officer Eddie Sutton (Russell Hornsby) who moves his family back to his old neighborhood. Other castmembers include Erica Hubbard, Nikki Micheaux, Rhyon Brown, Mishon Ratliff, Robert Adamson, and Michael Reilly Burke.
The TV show debuted on January 8, 2007 and the first season was successful enough to warrant a renewal by March. At that point, it was one of the cable channel’s higher performers in the key demographics.
While announcing that the second season would kick off in September 2007, ABC Family President Paul Lee said, “We really think we have something unique here… The fact that it’s an African American family drama alone separates it from the crowd, but its terrific cast and superb writing also make it truly special and perfect for ABC Family.”

Following season two, it took several months for ABC Family to decide to bring Lincoln Heights back for a third round. They finally did and that kicked off in September 2008. The audience grew and the show became the cable channel’s top performer among Females 12-34 and Female teens. It didn’t take as long to renew the series for year four.
Season four kicked off in September 2009. It ended up being one of the channel’s weaker programs of 2009, being outperformed by other ABC Family shows, including cancelled Kyle XY.
No specific reason was given for the Lincoln Heights cancellation. However, though it’s been favored by some critics, the series has never been a big hit for the cable channel and has only been given 10 episode renewals each season.
What do you think? Are you upset or surprised that the series has been cancelled? Do you think the last episode of Lincoln Heights is a worthwhile series finale?

NO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back lincoln Heights it was the only show i would look foward to watch every monday…. i was always sitting watching the romance between charles and cassie also the suspense of the criminals eddie took care of.
This was my favorite show! I couldn’t wake to get home from work and eat dinner as a family and enjoy this show! Please continue with season 5. Because the finale didn’t provide the type of closure that was needed to just up and end the show!
i am a 59 year old women and i just started watching lincoln heights a few months ago. i have really enjoyed it and i know how ratings count however it seems like a show like this with parents teaching their children morals and values would be a number one hit for families i hate to see it go and genually feel bad. so sorry
Please bring Lincoln Heights back to tv. That show brings my family together. For atleast an hour my family is at peace together happy and enjoying themselves. We discuss the episodes as they air. The morals and values on the show has been superb. That show has shown these teens out there that they are not alone. We love the show. Please bring the show back the characters are so easy for some of us to identify with. Just give it a try for atleast one more season. Pleeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!
