It was an okay start for Ashley Judd and company. Former occupant Wipeout had been attracting a 1.5 in the demo and it’s of course important to remember that the debut was opposite American Idol. In the fall, Charlie’s Angels also debuted in the 8pm timeslot with a 2.1 in the demo and was cancelled not too long afterward because the numbers dwindled downward. Will the same happen to Missing? Stay tuned.

I am very sad that Missing has been cancelled. What a terrible way to leave us hanging. Great show with great acting. And so do we get another “reality” show to take its place.
What a shame! ABC will start losing a lot of followers with this kind of decisions.
I AM VERY DISSAPPOINTED IN ABC, THIS WAS A GREAT SHOW IT GOES TO SHOW YOU ALL THAT YOU DON’T KNOW GOOD QUALITY DRAMA WHEN IT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK IT IS AWESOME.
I really enjoyed the show Missing, it was exciting, and spellbinding…For ABC to cancel the show makes me wonder who is making these decisions and there capabilty of making clear and precise decisions… I find no other reason to watch ABC
Wow can’t believe there won’t be a second series this is a great show, couldn’t stop watching it, how disappointing!!
I love this show…please don’t cancel it ..it’s not boring and it keeps you on your toes every time it comes on…..keep it going please!!!!!! If anything get rid of oxana she is in the way!!!
Love the show’s surprises every week. Never dull. It is one of only a few shows we watch without fail. Bad time slot against Big Bang Theory so network is foolish with scheduling.
Loved Missing. I hope another network picks it up. So tired of all the singing shows & the reality shows. This was a great show!
Loved it! Don’t cancel it … please. I too am sick of the reality shows and enjoy a good action-packed show like Missing. Love Ashley Judd too. Please, please bring it back for us to enjoy.
WOW – I am sooo sad that this show was cancelled. It was great and I really looked forward to it each week. Ashley Judd and the entire cast were simply amazing. It never disappointed me and kept me on the edge of my seat. I am so sick of “reality” TV and unfunny comedies. Bring us something with substance – PLEASE
Great show. Very exciting , great actors and beautiful scenery.
We LOVE this show. All of the actors are so good in it. The suspense and intrigue of each episode keeps you wanting more. Since the first episode, we (family) have been looking forward to the next one. We had been watching American Idol, but when we saw the previews for “Missing”, and then watched the first episode, we were hooked!!! We no longer watch American Idol. The “Missing” characters are so well played, that we looked forward to the next one every week. The heck with reality shows, there are tooooo many, and this show just keeps you going… Read more »
Please….do not cancel this show..I finally found show that is not BORING!!!!I love the suspense and the beautiful location…most of all the good acting…..LOVE LOVE IT
Please do not cancel MISSING.
I LOVE THE SHOW
This is a fantastic show – I loved the constant movement and twists and turns – too many shows have too much drama and there are way too many reality shows which most are quite frankly boring and highly overrated. I love shows that keep you on the edge of your seat and waiting for the next episode. Ashley Judd is a great actress for parts like these. Cancelling “Missing” would be a big mistake on ABC’s part. This is literally the only show that I’ve watched on ABC for years with any regularity. Usually this network is a “last… Read more »
PLEASE, PLEASE, do not canel this show. Since the first episode, I was caught. loved the intrigue, suspense, the fact that she portrayed both a mother and ex-cia, and had to return to that dark place that we all have within ourselves, yet she still maintained her selfworth. Bring it back. cancelling this show will be another of your worst mistakes
