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?
I am SO SORRY this is not being renewed! It’s an adorable, funny and relaxing show to watch! So many stupid shows on TV these days – this one was excellent. Love the characters and the romantic tension between the 2 leads; and Charmonique? HYSTERICAL! Again, very, very sorry the show has been canceled. Rethink your decision? Please??
Because I am honestly just like Eliza. I find this show so motivating! Kept me going through hard times. # SaveSelfie. #teamSelfie. <3
Don’t cancel it!!!!!!!!!!
This show is one of my many favorites and I’m up upset that you’re ending it in the middle of the season now I have so many unanswered question as I’m sure the rest of the people do as well, the problem wasn’t the show it was how u portrayed it on the ads this show made me laugh it gave me excitement and hope so I’m begging you to finish the season and answer the questions fans have even if you won’t make a season 2.
I’m portuguese and I saw this show. I loved it, it was one of my favorites of all time. You should think in those you love and see the show! If you don’t want to pass it on tv, pass it on internet somehow. PLS!
PLEASE SAVE THIS SHOW! IT IS MY FAVORITE!
I really would love to c Henry and Eliza end up together. Plz Der should be a season 2 tink about dos who really love the show
Great show please save it!
Can we start a “Selfie” Facebook write-in campaign? Does ABC see our posts here??
I really really like this show and I’ll be sad when it’s gone 🙁 But… I suppose if Henry and Eliza are together when it’s over I’ll be ok.
I can not believe that this show is canceled! Right when I saw the first episode of the series, I instantly fell in love with the show. In every single episode that I watched the suspense was killing me. Every episode had a new conflict/story to tell. This is the best show that I have ever watched. Please dont cancel the series! #Save_Selfie_ABC
I love this show. Please dont take it away!
Hello. I think that this Tv show has a future. Why i think so? Because when i watched it, i have felt inlove with this Tv show. It is so interesting. It shows people their bad sides, and make them want to change theirselves. It shows us, that we must be more concertrate in real live, not in social. It shows us that we can change the opinion, that other people have for us. It’s a funny tv show and it should have a continuing. I’m sorry for my bad english, but i’m not
I love Selfie and I miss it! Best TV sitcom series in 2014 in my opinion and I think you should at least give us a happily-ever-after! With Harry and Eliza getting married. I think this series is the best because it’s the best hetrosexual relationship on TV because hot Harry isn’t a stereotype.

I am really disappointed that they cancelled the show! I really like it, and would like to see a 2nd season!
This show was very clever and well written. I think the time slot might have been part of the problem with viewers. I would love to see a second season!
