Word has come down that, after a less-than-impressive sophomore year in the ratings, ABC has decided to cancel October Road.
The news has been suspected for some time and was cinched by the network’s interest in the U.S. version of Life on Mars. Boston Legal’s creator, David E. Kelley, owns the rights to do a Mars series in the states. He had been committed to write and executive produce the series for ABC but recently decided to bow out. As a result, ABC execs have been hot to sign Road creators Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, and Scott Rosenberg to the new series. They’ve now closed the deal and sealed Road’s fate.
ABC had attempted to find another home for Road but were unsuccessful in finding a buyer.
All 19 produced episodes of October Road have aired. The series finale aired on March 10th but unfortunately didn’t offer viewers any closure. Will we ever know the identity of Sam’s father? Stay tuned! 
Please bring October Road back! I loved this show. I TIVO alot of shows but this was my favorite. I couldn’t wait each week to see it. What are they doing to us? Who is Sam’s father? They had so many good plots, why did they cancel?! Please bring it back!!!!!!
October road was one of the best shows i’ve seen in a long time. It would be a big mistake to cancel it. Please reconsider!! Bring season three back.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT!!!
please please please bring back October Road. I said please now listen to me now. It was one of the best shows on ABC in many years so please bring it back now and I mean it.
I am truly disappointed that ABC has canceled Men In Trees and October Road. Both shows were a joy to watch and I was dying to see what happens to them this season. I can’t believe we have to lose great shows like those two. Bring them back!!!
My husband and I loved October Road. It was truly one of the best shows on TV. Please bring it back.
Bring it back!! It was a GREAT show, loved it. It would be awesome if CW would pick it up but I guess that would have happened by now.
ABC made a big mistake canceling Oct.rd, it was the only show they had that was worth watching.I have a lot of friends who watched to and are upset to.
October Road was a down to earth show that had real life problems. I hope we can get a closure to who’s the dad and how thing will end. I wish the actors on the show best of luck in other shows I really enjoyed them.
Why do they have to cancel the show? I have been waiting and watching for commercials advertising its return and now I read that ABC has CANCELED it. I really love this show and am very disappointed that they canceled it. I was looking forward to the 3rd season! Please bring it back!!
Why do they have all the reality shows were some are realy dumb.Then they cancel the shows with great stories.I was really unhappy. Icould not believe it.They should use it for a fill in for the summer reruns when thers nothing on!!!!!!!!
seriously????? i loved this show it was my favorite….. can’t they at least do season three and let it be the final one no matter the ratings???
If October Road does not come back, I am boycotting NBC!!!!
Who’s with me?????
Another big mistake by ABC October Road wasn’t given a fair chance-it needs another season to prove itself and gain more viewers Everyone that stayed with it throughout its short run is very disappointed about its cancellation. Give it another chance ABC you won’t be disappointed
At least there will be a 15 minute finale on the season 2 dvd when it comes out. It is said to go 7 years forward. Hopefully it will answer most of our questions…
