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?

This show was great. It should npt have been cancelled. I loved the cast. Great concept.
I just started watching this show and I love it. I’m so mad that it got cancelled. The acting was wonderful and I was really starting to get attached to the characters. 🙁 Bring it back!!!
abc sucks they keep canceling my favriote shows first ghost whisper now my generation what are you guys thinking abc
Bring the show back!!!!
Love My Generation. Bring it Back
That was shaping up to be my favorite new tv show. Next to Parenthood, it was the best TV option out there. What a bummer it’s cancelled. Another poor decision by network ignoramouses. Like canceling Judd Appitow’s Freaks & Geeks, super, duper dumb move.
I was very upset to see the show cancelled. I was hooked after the first show, and yes I would love to see the rest. Shame on ABC!!!!
CANCELED?!?!!!!! are you kidding?!!! LAME! This show was GREAT!! I am in my 20’s and I thought it was a great show! I hope another station picks it up or something because it was really a GREAT show!!
Bring it back I really liked the show
also you should bring it back because some people have work but they record it and watch it online or me and my friends watch together on one tv there is more than just the number of ratings of people watching
