It’s all over but the shouting for Lena and Martin. ABC has cancelled its Splitting Up Together TV show after two seasons. The series, which was never a Nielsen ratings sensation, really took a dive in the second season, so the news that there will be no third season is not exactly a surprise.
An ABC comedy, Splitting Up Together stars Jenna Fischer, Oliver Hudson, Bobby Lee, Diane Farr, Lindsay Price, Olivia Keville, Van Crosby, and Sander Thomas. The comedy centers on a married couple, Lena (Fischer) and Martin (Hudson), who have decided to “bird nest” despite their divorce, i.e. the parent who is on-duty in a given week lives in the house with the kids, while the other decamps to the garage. Soon they find the new arrangement has put some much-needed life into their relationship.

But remember it’s the same many of us that Add into others to make shows you keep on the air. Not caring about our time that we invested in a show you picked up and aired to end a show with a to be continued, not even one more episode tying up the loose ends (which you do that ALOT ABC) will eventually make us all turn… Read more »
