After three seasons, ABC is moving on. The network has cancelled Suburagatory.
Suburgatory continues the story of single dad George Altman (Jeremy Sisto) and his teenage daughter (Jane Levy) after they move from the city an overly wholesome community in the suburbs. This season, the rest of the cast includes Cheryl Hines, Allie Grant, Ana Gasteyer, Chris Parnell, and Carly Chaikin.
The show premiered in September 2011 to a very strong 3.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.8 million viewers. The numbers dwindled downward over the course of the season but the network renewed it for season two anyway.
Season two started off well but once again, the ratings dwindled downward. This time, ABC gave Suburgatory a limited 13 episode renewal.
In season three, the ratings started pretty low and stayed there. The current season has averaged a 1.6 demo rating with 5.44 million viewers. It’s down 27% in the demo when compared to season two’s average.
The network has now decided to call it quits after 57 episodes. The season (now series) finale of Suburgatory will air next Wednesday, May 14th.
What do you think? Are you sorry that this show has been cancelled? Should it have been renewed for season four? Would you watch it on another channel?
I am so sad that is the way Suburgatory finished! As a writer myself, the writing team and channel should really not finish the story there. Viewers I am sure, including myself are quite upset, that we invested time into getting to like this show and it’s characters, only for it to finish on the best cliff hanger the show has ever had. All it would have taken was a few more episodes for Tessa to finish school and leave for college!
Bring it back please!
I cant belive it.. it is such a great series and now its finished? I want season 4 it wouls be great .. the ending of season 3 isnt the way to end the entire series.. please some channel just take it on i love it.. and i thinkvalot of people love it !!!
I don´t can understand why season 4 is cancelled. How should I live with this End of season 3? NO!! I think that I speak for a lot of People when I say: “We want a season 4!”.
I only Agree
I am in the UK and am sad to hear this series has ended so soon as I was expecting it to continue . It has a remarkable cast and bought so much humour and enjoyment . Some channel please take this series on!!
I am so mad! I watched every single episode and became very attached to the characters! I am sad to see it go! Loved the laughs and wish they would have kept it going….I’ll never know what happens with Tessa and Ryan! Grrr
I am sad to see it go. I loved this show . I would watch it on any network. Thank you for the laughter. Best wishes to the entire cast. You are already missed.
The reason why the viewers dwindled is because most people watch the first episode and then go online to find the rest and watch them straight away because they simply cant wait!!!
This show was freakin amazing!!!!! ABC really messed up when they cancelled this one.
🙁 I MISS YOU TESSA!!!!!!
I love the show. It`s funny and in many ways realistic. As I go to a private school where there is a lot of presure to what to wear and how to act I really enjoy this show because I agree with Tessa on many ocations. Ireally hope the series will keep comming. 🙂
Hopes and wishes from Norway 😀
Why????????
Today I watched the last episode of season 3 and its definitly not an ending.
Therefore I’m shocked to read that this is the end.
I watched every episode from the Start and I wish a real ending for a really good serie.
I want to see more of george and dallas and definitly more if ryan and tessa.
Afterall this time they came back together and then nothing???
But I think nothing will change this decision.
Sad. Real sad.
I find this devastating that there will not be a 4th season of this show. I have watched every episode of every season religiously and think it is fantastic. The final episode of season three is in no way a series ender, you can NOT leave fans with this as a final episode. All these big companies don’t care about who IS watching their shows and only care about who ISN’T watching their shows. I’ve spent hours of my time watching this show for them to just cancel it like that, without a thought for its fans. So concerned about… Read more »
This is indeed really sad news. I believe that the ratings have gone down because not many people are aware of this series. Well not as many people are aware of this series in comparison to other well known series. ABC could have advertised even more. But I know for a fact that most people will love Suburgatory even before the first season is over. It is worth watching. It is a series that stays interesting and above all stays different. It isn’t your typical Mom, Dad and three kids series but instead it shows a great relationship between a… Read more »
Im litterally crying cause of the terrible news…it had became a habbit. I just fell in love with the caracters and hoped to be apart of their futur and you’ve just broke all the hope i had. Why? Why did you do this to me?? Maybe the views are low but im still watching it! People are still watching it! You may say “we’re loosing money, it is all about buisness, blah blah blah ” but thats not a fair reason to cancelled this amazing show. Make it famous, make a move, do something! Dont let us down, ours hearts… Read more »

I . truly disappointed that this show has been cancelled, I look forward to watching this show every week, I love how it is so unique, and that its not caved into the pressure of changing anything about it, the fact that it may not have plenty of viewers is ridiculous it may.not be the most watched program on television but I know of plenty f.people.who.enjoy it, and clearly by these other comments its not just in Britain. Only.people.who.can understand this program properly find it enjoyable, its like Tessa she is.nothing like the other people in chatswin but that’s what… Read more »
