Not long after the TV ratings came in for last Thursday night’s episode of My Generation, the show was cancelled by ABC. To the dismay of many viewers, the series was pulled from the schedule immediately and ultimately replaced by repeats of Grey’s Anatomy. Will viewers ever get to see the remaining episodes? How many are there anyway?
My Generation follows a group of twenty-somethings who were part of a documentary while in high school. Ten years after graduation, the filmmaker returns to see how their lives have changed. The ABC series stars Julian Morris, Keir O’Donnell, Kelli Garner, Mehcad Brooks, Michael Stahl-David, Anne Son, Daniella Alonso, Jaime King, and Sebastian Sozzi.
With such a large ensemble cast, you would think that many would comment about the cancellation. That hasn’t happened. For the most part, the stars have all been pretty silent, perhaps by request of the network and/or the producers. The one exception has been King. Earlier this week she tweeted, “Thanks to all for supporting My Generation! I hope there will be a way for all of u to see the rest of the amazing shows we made! Xx” Responding to a comment from an upset viewer, King commiserated, “it is frustrating sometimes.”
Shortly after the cancellation news broke, Lone Star creator Kyle Killen playfully tweeted to My Generation creator Noah Hawley, “condolences. we should have a beer and compare third episodes.” A few days later, Hawley responded by simply writing, “done.”
Hawley has offered brief updates on the show. On Monday, he wrote, “Saw most of the cast last night. My understanding is we’ll be finishing the 8 existing episodes for release online or DVD.” He later added, “We would say more, but it’s not our style.” Last night, Hawley indicated that discussions about releasing the six unaired installments were ongoing.
Considering the abrupt cancellation, it’s highly unlikely that the cast and crew were able to wrap up the show’s many storylines.
What do you think? Would you like to see the remaining episodes of My Generation? Would you consider buying a DVD of the series? Would you like the producers to hear about what would have happened?

I was really upset to see that the show was cancelled, I thought something was wrong with my DVR because it didn’t record again this week. I was actually trying to see the full episodes for this week and last week and came across this site. I am so disappionted, I was so into the show.
M and my mom were really enjoying this show! How come good television gets canceled and crap t.v. like Jersey Shore is so popular?! PLEASE LET ME SEE THE REST!
I loved the show. Hope i get to see what happens at least on dvd!!!!
Maybe if ABC didn’t preview the same clip for 3 months before the premier people would have actually watched the show.
I personally enjoyed it and wish it would’ve lasted.
Loved it!
I really liked the show and i got into it.! I was mad that they just canceled it within the second week. they didnt even give it a chance… I would like to see rest of the episodes ..
I REALLY WAS GETTING INTO THE SHOW MAYBE IF IT HAD MORE BUZZ ABOUT THE SHOW IT WOULDN’T HAVE DONE SO POORLY I ENJOYED IT AND FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE A HIT IF PROMOTED PROPERLY I WAS BEGINNING TO BECOME ATTACH CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE REST OF THE EPISODES IM REALLY INTRIGUED I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT GIVE MY GENERATION A CHANCE IT’S A HIT SHOW
CAN’T BELIEVE My Generation got cancelled!! I was really into it and looked forward to watching the DVR’d episodes when my baby fell asleep at night. WHY??? Please bring it back! PLEASE!!!
It’s sad they couldn’t give the show a glance..but then again it wasn’t filled with murders nor sexual innuendo..of course it was cancelled!
I would love to see the ramaining episodes!!! I really loved the two episodes I saw!!
I really enjoyed the show. Would love to see the remaining shows.
why would you even cancel a show after two episodes? of course its gonna be a poor rating at first….at least have more episodes before u even cancel…..some people might not even find out about the show till later on…and they might catch up…and probably like it…..friggin ABC
I truly enjoyed the show and was wondering what happened to it. It ia sad to know that it was cancelled but I would love to see the remaining shows. I think that would be awesome.
My husband and I really enjoyed the show – GOSH, it wasn’t even given a chance before it
was cancelled. Now, I guess we’ll just have to wonder what happened to all the cast.
Please reconsider showing the remaining episodes for those of us who started the series.
Thank you.
I loved the show
