Schooled hasn’t received a passing grade from ABC. The network has revealed they’ve cancelled the TV show so, it won’t be returning for a third season.
A spin-off of The Goldbergs, the Schooled comedy series begins as Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka) returns to Jenkintown, Pennsylvania after pursuing her dreams of stardom on the West Coast. She reluctantly takes a job as a music teacher at her alma mater. The cast also includes Tim Meadows, Bryan Callen, Brett Dier, and Haneefah Wood.
The second season of Schooled averaged a 0.69 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.15 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 29% and 20%, respectively. Even with the ratings drop, Schooled was still one of ABC‘s middle-of-the-road programs for the 2019-20 season.
The comedy comes from Sony TV and ABC Studios and has gone through three showrunner regimes over the course of two seasons. Schooled was created by Adam F. Goldberg and Marc Firek with the latter serving as showrunner in year one. He was replaced by Tim Doyle for year two but Doyle left before the year was out, replaced by Tom Hertz and Vanessa McCarthy. According to Deadline, that backstage upheaval may have been a factor in the cancellation.
Two other sophomore sitcoms, Bless This Mess and Single Parents, were also cancelled by ABC today.
What do you think? Did you watch the Schooled comedy series? Would you have watched season three on ABC.
Awful!!! This show was great!! Wonderful characters and great writing!! Did not watch Goldbergs but hound this fresh and witty. Don’t be stupid renew this !!
LOVED SCHOOLED I HATE TO SEE IT CANCELLED I’M GONNA MISS IT ALL THE ACTING WAS GREAT SO HAPPY CB N LAINEY KISSED NICE WAY TO WRAP IT UP. MISS YOU ALREADY IN DELAWARE COUNTY ✌OUT
Very disappointed. This was a very nice family show. I hope it gets picked up by someone else. We would definitely watch a third season.
I watch few, if any, comedies on tv but I really enjoyed Schooled and will miss it next year. The exchanges between the teachers were always good for lots of laughs.
Schooled was a fun little show that always left you feeling happy at the end of every episode. This was a mistake by ABC. This would be a nice pick-up for a streaming service.
I am very disappointed about the show being cancelled. I would have watched it for a 3rd season.
I enjoyed this show – it was a fun show….disappointed that it was cancelled….I was looking forward to next season….
sad… this was a nice show… goldbergs has kind of run out of steam a bit and is stuck in it’s run and schooled was a similar vibe with a new decade and fun cast… im surprised as it was a good companion to goldbergs… and had better numbers than a number of their shows that got renewed.
As a teacher who began his career in the 90s I enjoyed the show… disappointing news.
Having watched a lot of television in the 80s and 90s and having seen recent tv show itself hasn’t been cancelled. 🙂
No Schooled? And yet The Conners, Black-ish and Mixed-ish made the cut? There goes the last reason to watch the Alphabet web.
Darn, I really enjoyed Schooled. Even more than The Goldbergs. Just when it looked like CB and Lainey were going to get together! I hope some other station picks this up. The characters were so fun.
Schooled was fun. So sad it’s cancelled. It was a show the family would look forward to sitting down together to watch. There were only 2 ABC shows that the family watched together. One was canceled last year and now Schooled this year. That’s it for ABC. Seems they rarely give shows a chance.
Both The Goldbergs and Schooled seemed like I was watching the same show. Goldbergs has become boring as it’s so repetitive. The Goldberg shows have jumped the shark.
sad to see this one go so early!
