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.

I LOVE this show! I honestly helped me see a new perspective in my own marriage through watching Martin and Lena’s struggles. I am emotionally invested in this show, and now I’m pissed and sad its gone.
I couldn’t agree more Sam, I’m pissed too!
I am so annoyed!!!! I love that show!!! I am so sick of ABC cancelling good shows. I really hope another network picks it up!! Nashville and Last man standing were great shows, other networks picked them up, hopefully they do the same with Splitting up Together. AGHHHH!!! I am just so annoyed!!
I loved the show and I’m so disappointed that it was canceled. I wish that they could at least wrap up the ending in one mega episode so that we could at least have a good ending to the show.
I definitely would have watched and continued watching more seasons of the show. It was funny and just another show that I get invested in and is once again canceled.Once again, ABC cancels a program that is reality. A real nice enjoyable program. I am very disappointed. I hope another station picks it up.

I love the show
I’m so disappointed!!!!! I love this show!
DUMP IT !!!!
I am very disappointed the show is cancelled- the cast did a phenomenal job- the story line was exceptional – the script was real life and funny. Will miss watching – very disappointed!
I agree. This was one of my favorite!!
I think ABC is losing more than ratings. You people cancel so many good shows and leave the stupid dating games on. I can’t stand to watch then. They must cost less money to produce. Disney wise up!
What is the issue ABC? You keep cancling the clean family friendly shows. I’m disappointed.
I am so sad SPlitting Up Together was cancelled. I pray another network picks it upGreat characters, chemistry, cast and creativity. A true original comedy with great writing. The cast delivered their characters comedic timing perfectly! They gave some of the best lines to the little guy and he really shined. So upset I don’t get to see the rest of this story unfold.
I really enjoyed Splitting Up Together. I thought it was very original and funny. The cast was excellent and had great chemistry.
Seriously?!? I need to find out if Martin and Lena end up together!
