(ABC/Richard Cartwright)
So long, Single Parents. The cast and creators of the cancelled ABC TV show recently posted their goodbyes.
The sitcom centers on Will Cooper (Taran Killam), a single father in his 30s, who is sorely in need of a life apart from raising his daughter, Sophie (Marlow Barkley). When the other parents around him realize how far out of touch he is with his own identity, they team up to help him come into his own. The cast also includes Leighton Meester, Kimrie Lewis, Jake Choi, Tyler Wladis, Devin Trey Campbell, Mia Allan, Ella Allan, and Brad Garrett.
On Instagram, co-creator Liz Meriwether thanked the fans of Single Parents for watching. You can see Meriwether’s farewell post as well as the goodbye posts from co-creator JJ Philbin and stars Jake Choi, Kimrie Lewis, Brad Garrett, Taran Killam, and more below:
My wife and an incredibly talented team of actors, writers, and crew members people made a great comedy for @ABCNetwork and it more than deserves to have another season! #savesingleparents @SingleParentsTV

Just a little note I loved working on #SingleParents. Best group of people around and if you ever get the chance to be in a room or on set with them, you are the luckiest.❤️

What do you think? Did you watch Single Parents? Would you watch a third season?
ugh .please bring this show back., i sooo love this show. i don’t get why ABC has to cancel this show. This was one of the best shows i watched.
So bummed! Why do the networks always cancel shows I love?! Please bring Single Parents back, don’t let it end like this!!!
I wish this show would have a season three! Season two ended with hopes of two couples that belong together getting the connection sealed in season three. ABC and its ratings…how do they know who all is watching?? I watch it over-the-air. No Nielsen box in my house. I hope another network will be smart enough to pick it up. Thank you for the joy you gave us viewers. God bless you all.
I am so upset this show is cancelled. I loved watching evil and develop into a wonderful community as well as good parents. This was my weekly escape to a fresh, fun and humorous comedy. So sad to see it go.
Please bring it back!
So angry this show was cancelled! It’s one of the funniest shows on TV these days and funny is hard to find. Plus they are leaving us on a cliff hanger! At least finish out the current storylines.
Best and funniest show last 2 years. It will be missed.
I loved Single Parents and am so sad not to have a finale. It was a good wholesome show and it gave me a chance to laugh after a long day at work. Cancel something else and give us Single Parents back
This show is undoubtedly, objectively one of the BEST TV sitcoms! Funny, sweet, rom-com at moments, straight-up hilarity at others, and so…wholesome-ish. 🙂 Great for those who don’t want stupid or raunchy comedies but are too old for all the corny stuff geared towards kids. Very relatable characters and scenarios. So many moments in this series have become part of our own vocabulary and inside jokes among my friends/family, and the ENTIRE cast is exceptional. It needs a chance to thrive somewhere that will support it and get the word out. Hopefully a streaming site like Hulu or Disney+ maybe?
I was thinking Hulu would be perfect for it! It has a much larger following on Hulu than directly on ABC.
Good point Celeste, about maybe Hulu or another entity picking it up. Hulu and Amazo,n do original series. They’d be smart to take it under their wing.
My husband and my two favorite shows- Single Parents and Bless This Mess! I am really saddened that they don’t get to continue or at least finish their stories! These were such well written, ridiculously funny shows. Single Parents kids stole the show half the time. SMH!!
I was shocked to see that Single Parents was cancelled! It was very entertaining and wonderfully written. Both funny and heartwarming and the actors really brought that to their performances. Very sorry to see this show go.
I love this show!! It always made me laugh and smile even during tough times. It will be missed!
This is complete ********!!! How are you going to leave people hanging like that?! Are you sick?! Twisted?! Or just ********?!?!?! You ran ridiculous shows that made no sense and made me lose IQ points, but can’t continue with a show that makes sense and that people can relate too?! I hope one of these days, you get stuck in an elevator full of people and **** your pants.
I absolutely LOVED the show! Great writing and characters ! Wish they could save it and bring it back for a third season!
So mad. the show needs a third season so fans can have closure
So upset!!!! This was the best 30 minute show ever!!!!
ABC always cancels the good shows and leaves on the ridiculous reality ones sometimes people just need a smile for 30 minutes thanks for taking that away
