Trends in social media come and go — and so do sitcoms about them. ABC has decided against ordering any additional episodes of their low-rated Selfie sitcom, effectively cancelling it.
On the Selfie TV show, social media superstar Eliza Dooley (Karen Gillan) realizes that she’s disconnected from the real parts of her life and enlists her company’s marketing guru, Henry Higgs (John Cho), for help. The rest of the cast includes Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Allyn Rachel, Tim Peper, Natasha Henstridge, and David Harewood.
The sitcom got off to a mediocre start on September 30th, registering a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.31 million viewers. The ratings took a big dive in week two, falling to a 1.1 in the demo and 3.77 million. The numbers dipped lower as the weeks progressed. This week’s registered a 0.9 rating with 3.23 million.
ABC cancelled companion sitcom Manhattan Love Story a couple weeks ago and now the network has cancelled Selfie as well.
For now, it looks like the network plans to air the remaining seven installments. However, if the ratings drop any lower, ABC will likely pull it.
What do you think? Did you like this sitcom? Are you sorry that there won’t be more episodes or a second season of Selfie?
My daughter and I loved watching Selfie. It portrays what’s going on in real life. We’re sad it’s gone please bring it back!!!!
I really loved that show…and I don’t love too many shows. Bring it back and promote it better. Totally had potential to be next Friends.
I hope they reconsider!! I really enjoyed this show once the plot laid out!! I want Eliza and Freddie to be together and see how it unfolds!
I hope they reconsider. It’s a great show .
I hope they reconsider and bring the show back. It’s a great show 🙂
And just as a PS. I agree with the comment that this was the only show I have been watching recently on ABC so now there are none.
It is a shame, for various reasons, that anything worthwhile socially never lasts on this network. It hardly ever gives it’s all to a show to help make it. Wrong parings of shows, as well as negative news such as it’s cancellation early in the season make it no better than a class at a local community college where everyone says “oh they will cancel it so don’t enroll in it”. Yes, as it turns out, I’m a community college president who happens to like the show Selfie. And I am a fan of both the lead actors. It’s a… Read more »
PLEASE RECONSIDER. Great ensemble. Good writing and story. One of the few shows I actually watched on TV, and certainly the only one on this network. Guess I am done with ABC.
I also really liked Selfie … the main characters were great!
I really liked what the show had to say about society and the characters were really cute! Too bad they never really got a chance!

It’s so unfair that they didn’t even let us finish the season it was a great show and I think if I would have stayed in longer it would have gained more viewers .
I loved selfie. ..i think it needs to be aired on a different network..
I also agree that the show started out a little slow although still funny in parts, but it has continued to grow on me as the characters have developed. I hope they will at least let us see the rest of the season online!!
I adore and look forward to this show…please reconsider!
