It was recently revealed that ABC Family had decided to cancel Lincoln Heights after four seasons. What do the actors think about the news, that they won’t be going back to film a fifth round of episodes? The answer might surprise you.
Lincoln Heights revolves around Officer Eddie Sutton (Russell Hornsby) and his family who move back to his old neighborhood. The rest in the cast include Erica Hubbard, Nikki Micheaux, Rhyon Brown, Mishon Ratliff, Robert Adamson, and Michael Reilly Burke.
Fans of the ABC Family series may be very upset that Lincoln Heights isn’t continuing but some of the actors seem to be okay with it. While they’re disappointed that their time on the series is over, they’re mostly grateful to have been a part of it.
Adamson, who plays neighbor and boyfriend Charles Antoni on the show, wrote, “I haven’t posted my thoughts about the recent Cancellation of Lincoln Heights, simply because I haven’t really known what to say. I am at peace with it. All good things must come to an end and Lincoln Heights was a great thing. I was given a character of real depth and purpose, not simply a pawn or tool to push a storyline or agenda. You have no idea how rare that is for a man of my age. I believe the story has been told. It was told with passion, vigor, and with the committed convictions of the writers. They were all unique with a dedicated voice. I only ever wanted to be truthful in my portrayal of Charles, because I have so much respect for the hardworking cast and crew. I learned much. I’m sure there are those out there who are disappointed with ABC Family’s decision to pull the show. Don’t be. TV/Film Entertainment is a business. The show is and will remain a success.”
Brown posted a video on YouTube to express her feelings. Take a look…
What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with the actors? Are you upset that the show is over or just thankful that it survived for four seasons?

I am very disappointed that Lincoln Heights did not have a 5th episode. The American Black family really need to have this possitive family image on TV. There are lots of Black Families with both parents and I think this image should remain on TV. Please rethink putting Lincoln Heights back on TV. I would love to see all of the old characters but if you have to put new characters, then that’s ok too, but please put this positive family image back on TV.
I loved the show Lincoln heights and Iam pissed abc family canceled. The show and then doesn’t even have a reason for canceling. What’s even worse is that they replaced it with some stupid reality show with worthless trashy actors. I hate tv so much for this reason they always cancel the goods shows
I am very very upset that they have cancelled Lincoln Heights. This was a Great Show. My 12 year old son and I loved it so much this was a show we could sit down together and watch. He is heavy into sports and we would Tivo it so not to miss anything. He and I have been a loyal fans since the pilot aired back in 2007. I don’t think the producers ever even think or care about the viewers if it wasn’t for us supportung the show (THEIR) would be no show. You weren’t even kind enough to… Read more »
thank you tvone for bringing lincoln heights to your channel. forget family channel who needs you away
It seems tha whenever we get a good show worth watching, they cancel it. They can keep stupid shows on or all these reality series but can’t keep a positive show on….I think the tv industry is just WAY SCREWED UP!!!
i wuz soooooooooo upset win i found out that there wuz not goin 2 be a season five! i loved the show so much!i just dont understand!
I agree. Its a shame they take a good show off like Lincoln Heights and keep on these air head shows. There’s no diversity at all. I’m through with ABC Family channel.
I was very upset and still am, because they keep putting other stupid , dumb shows on and when we get a show like lincoln heights and enjoy it. It is taken off. I could not wait til mondays come to see this show. And the show was one of the highest rated shows ever. That is why more black people like oprah and tyler perry should own their own network, so that more show like lincoln heights , the game and other good cancelled shows with high ratings, that are watched by all ethic groups stay on. I cant… Read more »
I am really really upset about there not being a season 5…Lincoln Heights is my favorite family show on television and I have watched it since the pilot aired back in 07… I really wish they would at least do one final season and bring it to a close not just leave us viewers hanging the way they did…That is just not right..I understand tv/film is a business but at the same time you need to give your loyal viewers some type of satisfaction since we have supported the show for so long….Well those are just my thoughts…Lincoln Heights Rocks….love… Read more »
