It’s almost last call for the cast and crew of ABC‘s Mixology sitcom. The network has cancelled the new series after 11 airings.
A comedy, Mixology revolves around 10 people on one night in a trendy New York bar. The cast includes Adam Campbell, Adan Canto, Alexis Carra, Craig Frank, Ginger Gonzaga, Blake Lee, Vanessa Lengies, Andrew Santino, Frankie Shaw, and Kate Simses.
Airing after Modern Family on Wednesday nights, Mixology debuted to a 1.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.98 million viewers. Those numbers aren’t bad but considering the lead-in, the ratings should have been better. They quickly dropped in subsequent weeks, likely sealing its fate.
Of the cancellation, co-star Shaw tweeted, “Sad day. Love to all you #Mixology fans. Keep watching! Great episodes left, esp the finale. xoxoxoxo”
There are two unaired episodes remaining and they are expected to run on May 14th and May 21st.
What do you think? Are you sorry that there won’t be a second season of Mixology? If you ran the network, would you have cancelled it?
Very disappointed that Mixology was cancelled. My husband and I loved this show! Great concept, brilliant cast, total fun. ABC needs to change their minds on this one.
I can’t believe they are canceling this show! It’s the best show on TV. Makes me laugh outloud and each week is better and better. The casting is excellent and the one-liners are hysterical! This show is a breath of fresh air compared to horrible, ridiculous shows like Resurrection that was OVER advertised to the point of nausea. ABC needs to rethink their decision and bring it back for another season. Every person who watches it, loves it. Give it another season!
I am sick of shows being cancelled in their Freshman seasons, when will we let shows grow?!? Plus this show was hilarious from the very beginning. Makes me think ABC did not want it to survive seeing as it was barely advertised. UGH Makes me hate TV altogether.
Could not agree more with CMB! Hopefully another network will pick it up. This show was so good and had no advertising. At least try another time slot. ABC sucks!
Very sad news. This show was genius, and such a contrast to the boring same ol’ sitcoms that weigh down the prime time lineup. We looked forward to this show every week as being the highlight of the night, and now will be without the many laughs provided by the witty one liners pulled off by Mixology. Sad day indeed.
I just found out about this show and I am hooked on it. It reminds me of my friends and I. I can relate to the characters since I’m in their age group. Since it wouldn’t be on air, how about a web series?
This show is hilarious!!!! Clever, witty, funny and something almost everyone can relate to on some level. Of course the idiot networks still cannot realize it takes more than one season for a show to get up to speed (Seinfeld???). This show has good writing, charismatic actors, and a good story line (man chases woman). Show has tons of potential to capture solid repeat viewing and is still ramping up! Shame on you networks for once again being shortsighted and wanting instant results with the laughtrack garbage you’ve been spewing forever.
I am sad to hear this. I love this show. It’s hilarious, and I love the characters. I feel like a lot of people just didn’t know about this show. When I would ask my friends about the show they said they haven’t heard of it. The ones that did hear of the show were stuck on “how are they going to make a whole series in a bar?”. I think they should reconsider and do a second season.
HORRIBLE!! This is a great show!!!!! ABC cuts shows too early. Everyone I have talked to loved this show after they watched it. Would of built up steam once it got a little word of mouth. Too bad its not given the chance. Great show!!
Such a cute show. I’m very sad it’s cancelled. : (((
I Love this show i feel they should cancel it because the one night in the bar concept and Make a whole new series with the same characters just a different name for the show so it can go on for a few seasons
Show was extremely good. Watched each episode twice. But, of course ABC had to cancel the one show that I actually watch in their pathetic line up nice going. Back to premium television.
Terrible decision to cancel this show! You need to move it to a different night. When people are set in their ways, they don’t typically change their views on new shows. I would almost guarantee that if ABC switched Mixogy with Saburgatory, just those time slots, that you would see the same results for Saburgatory. They are both great shows but Saburgatory has really dropped off this season in my eyes. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL MIXOLOGY!!!!! IT IS A GREAT SHOW!!!
I loved this show! it’s such a feel good show. For singles & married people to remind us of the games we played. The hustle to meet someone but most of all the fun you had with your friends during the search. I think the ratings may have been low but that’s because not a lot of advertising & not many ppl knew about it. I wish the network reconsiders this was such a great cast too. I will miss this show.

I love Mixology. It’s my favorite new show this season. Writing is hilarious. Love the characters! Come on ABC. Give it another chance!
