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?
this show is amazing!!!! i like it!!!!!!!!!!! and i’m very sad((( I WANT 2 SEASON!
I’m so disappointed!!! This was a great show please bring it back!!!!
I loved this show.,I was cracking up all the time
I will miss this show. I thought it was very well done and highlighted some of the less often discussed consequences of social media. Besides, I was really looking forward to seeing Eliza and Henry develop a romantic relationship.
I loved this show !!! The chemistry between characters was amazing !!! So not fair !!!! Wtf !!! Parenthood is over , selfie is over !!! I guess I won’t be watching much tv anymore !!! Oh and this is shameless last season !!!
I loved this show I was waiting for seasons 2
I was HIGHLY disappointed that this show was canceled!!!! i was head over heels, MADLY in love with it!!!
How disappointing!!!!! I loved that show!! Just checked to see when the New episodes were going to start…now it’s canceled? And Forever also? Wish they would bring them back.
I’m sad about this one. Wednesday night has some worthwhile comedies, but other nights don’t, so I’m disappointed that this show has been cancelled. This is one of the few non-Wednesday night shows I actually like!
Tôi là người Việt Nam ( I’m VietNamese). I wanna Selfie come back. Don’t cancel it, Plaese!….
Why are they canceling selfie.I love that show.It is one of my favorite. I can really relate to it. It is funny,hilarious,and should not be cancelled. When they canceled Nine Lives Of Cloe King I was devastated. they cannot cancel this as well.
Aww, that sucks! I really liked both shows but especially selfie! I always had to watch it on demand though because of my crazy work schedule but I looked forward to my couple hours of TV every week! Please reconsider ABC!
cancelling selfie would be a big mistake in my opinion. it was a really great show that had potential. many people i know watch the series online or download the show including myself.
I really liked this show, and Manhattan Love Story. I’m sorry they didn’t get a chance to find the audience they desevred. Good luck to te cast and crew and thanks for a job well done.
Please don’t cancel selfie. I love this show. I can so relate to this show. I can’t watch cable so I watch it in Hulu. And all my favorite shows are being canceled and I can’t take it if another one is taken from me. Please
