Seriously guys, it’s obvious that you screwed up big time with this one. It will be a cult classic forever! Maybe the ratings were down because you didn’t stream it at a time when T.V. was dying, yet you streamed Angie Tribeca. Infact the demographic this show needed didn’t really watch regular T.V. anymore. I ditched satellite the second you guys canceled People of Earth. TBS personally hurt their relationship with their loyal audience. They could fix this easily by bringing it back for at least one season, and end this. P.S. Search Party Sucks, Angie Tribeca rules.
I’m so bummed that People of Earth was not renewed for the 3rd season!!!! I had been waiting patiently for it. This is a clever & very funny show! Maybe Netflix will take it over!! We can only hope. With season 3 already written someone needs to take this show! F ratings! How realistic are they anyway!? They weren’t in my living room!
WTF !!! We were SOOO waiting for season 3 !!! Why ?! Please some network pick this up !!
Hopefully Netflix will pick it up
AGGGGHHHH!!! I waited SOO long for season 3!! FOOLS! Hope a stream provider picks this up because it was smart, original, funny….
Love People of Earth, this delightful, unique, inventive show. I kept checking my cable guide every few days to find out when Season 3 would begin. Very sad, and angry, to learn that some Greedy Gus w/ not much sense at TBS pulled the rug out at the last minute. Hoping they, or another cable channel (SF? AMC? HBO?), will pick it up. The entire season is ALREADY written. So film it, and broadcast it, and make millions of people happy! Please. (In the meantime, TBS has few other good offerings, w/ exception of Full Frontal — please at least… Read more »
PLEASE, – KEEP THIS SHOW ON ! Not only does this sitcom take a unique perspective on the ‘alien thing’, but it does deliver on laughs, surprises, and numerous new faces mixed with some we know. I think it’s cute, hopeful, and seems to show growth in the characters.
I noticed that since the last episode I’ve seen, I’ve been experiencing withdrawals due to the lack of my weekly dosage of “People Of Earth”, . . . So please end my suffering and deliver !
thank you for my turn on the soap box,

So original, funny and interesting! Not a cookie cutter show. It’s a quirky, funny, odd show that just entertains for the sake of entertaining. Love it, please don’t cancel this show…..air it and they will come! Hehe
This is a funny, unique series. Hopefully, it will develop a cult following
The show makes me laugh every episode I have to say I was a little disappointed in the second season of wrecked but right there with the guest book people of Earth is hilarious and better than any sitcom going on any other station
Me too ! . . . and I know what you mean about the 2nd season of “Wrecked”. It kind of wandered off the tracks .
I also think it is great! Season two is getting better each episode. With only four episodes left I hope it gets a season three!
Seriously? The first to comment? I LOVE this series!!! Very entertaining! Keep this refreshing series going forever!
What you said !
