NBC aired only seven episodes of Save Me but 13 episodes were supposedly ordered in May 2012. What happened?
Well, it seems that 13 installments were indeed produced of the Anne Heche comedy but the network opted to only air the pilot and episodes eight through 13. The Futon Critic suggests that the unaired episodes are likely the ones that were shot before Alexa Junge was replaced as showrunner by Darlene Hunt.
Unfortunately, the peacock network has no plans to air the cancelled show’s remaining episodes.
Though there were some devoted viewers, Save Me did very poorly in the ratings and averaged only a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.78 million viewers. The series finale was the lowest-rated episode.
A complete series set of Save Me may be released on DVD at some point but no plans have been announced thus far.
What do you think? Did you like Save Me? Would you buy the series set on DVD or on iTunes?

Please record more of the Save Me series. Ir is hilarously funny and a very spirirual show. I always looked forward to viewing this series and am terribly disappointed that it has been cancelled. We should have more series aired in this vain. Loved it…bring it back, please, please, please.
I was so excited and I was telling everyone about it and to watch-very sad it does not continue-ashame really
I thought Save Me was a good show. It was funny and is a good show for believers an unbelievers and I am looking forward to the remaining episodes to be aired and shared around the world. I was shocked that the show was cancelled.
I really loved this show too called Save Me I thought it was a good show. It kept my attention, it was funny, and I believe believers an unbelievers would love this show an I am looking forward too in the near future the show being aired an remaining episodes shown. I thought it was good for all ages from teens to adult.
This was clearly a better than average show and considering how lame so many of the other recent NBC comedies have been, well with 13 episodes in the can I’m really surprised they didn’t at least run the rest of them over the summer, but yes I would be interested in seeing the unaired episodes and would consider buying the show if available
I really love this show, it doesn’t show in Australia, i think it would be a hit here!!! please consider Season 2. This show is so hilarious!!!
A really nice show. People needed to know it was on. It might do better on re-runs, DVD and Itunes. I would love to see more.
I loved this show, and I’m not christian, not even American. I was hooked, watched it for a day and night, and was so sad when it ended.. Im so sad and angry that it’snot coming back, why do they do this to you?????? They give you somehting, you love it, then they take it away from you. Sucks. I love the actors, hope they get great new job offers.
P.S.
Just thought I would add that I am NOT a Christian, but I LOVED this show!!!!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!
This SUCKS!!!!!! “Save Me” was the BEST new show of the season! It gave Anne Heche the opportunity to show off her very funny and irreverent comedic style. Not only that but it also seemed to be a good role model for the “DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE UNTO YOU” sentiment modeled in the Bible. To bad the network didn’t have the same values! Just another example of hypocrisy.
TSK TSK TSK!!!
Please put save me on DVD…..pretty please
I absolutely loved this show! I would rearrange my evening schedule just to be home when it aired. I think the premeire timing probably had a lot to do with it’s demise. It was during the good weather months when the majority of people are outside enjoying summer. HELLO…bring it back this Fall and I bet you’d have a different outcome.
Loved this show. Great family show you could watch with your kids and not have to worry about cheap sex or bodily function “jokes”.
I just absolutely adored the show and looked forward to the show airing each week. I thought it was a good concept and very funny and would definitely buy the DVD. Oh say it isn’t so!
