As previously reported, ABC had planned on running just four of its six episodes of October Road. Though the series shows evidence of losing steam, ABC has changed their plans.
October Road debuted on March 15th to 13.93 million viewers. The second episode dropped 16% and the third dropped to less than 8.3 million. Despite this decline, the series has been attracting a healthy percentage of the desirable 18-49 demographic.
ABC had planned to air only four of the six episodes of October Road this season. If the series was renewed then the remaining two episodes would air as part of season two. ABC has now decided to air the remaining two episodes this season.
October Road will take a one week break while a double dose of sitcom Notes from the Underbelly debuts on April 12th. Underbelly will then move to Wednesday nights beginning April 18th. The two episodes of October Road will air on April 19th and 26th. No word on what will occupy the timeslot after that.
A final decision on an October Road second season will likely be announced in mid-May at the network upfronts. Stay tuned! 
Once again I find myself disappointed with whoever makes the decision to cancel tv series. I love this show! Please, please , please bring it back. I am running out of worthwhile shows to watch. How many reality, crime or medical inspired tv shows can one watch?

Give October Road another season to incease their audience.
This show will really take off if it follows Grey’s Anatomy for a full season.

This show is truly great, both my wife and I are avid fans. We would be truly dissapointed if it were cancelled, as almost 30 somethings, this show really takes us back to the days where freindships and all that were a big part of our lives…. it reminds me so much of my high school and post high school days.
I love this show but I have to agree with other people if you don’t keep it the same time and same day each week nobody will know when it is on.
