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 loved this show I was so excited every thursday and BAM it was gone such a bummer I wish I could see what happens next!
I loved this show! I wasn’t ever home to watch it so I dvr’d it which probly hurts raitings but I don’t think you should cancel a show after just 2 episodes. Maybe there should’ve been more publicity for it, hmmm. I say bring it back to air the last episodes and then see how raitings are. There are so many answers I wanna see 🙁
YES I WOULD BUY DVD BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TOO.
I LOVED the show!! WTH, I have been waiting for the remaining episodes 🙁 Michael Stahl David… I cannot wait to see you in another film or series. VERY handsome. Very.
I was looking forward to this new show. And angry they pulled it after two showings, they at least owe us the rest of what was taped.. Grrr , a show truly describing how real life triumphs you’re plans.
Put it back on…
My 19 year old and I really liked the show. We were thinking, finally a good drama! I would love to see it returned to television and enough of Greys anatomy-really boring and so predictable.
