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?
My husband and I never missed this show. We loved it, and are just heartbroken over it’s having been cancelled!!! There is so MUCH garbage on, and this along with “Neighbor’s” were two of the GOOD one’s!!!
I really hate it when a show gets cancelled with no ending.
It’s pointless putting a show on to cancel too soon, and mid season,
Have loved this programme since the start – please bring it back!
Really disappointed! I hate it when shows are cancelled without giving them chance to tie up the loose ends.
I just watched the last episode. I love the show and really wanted more.
I love it. George and dallas must get back together. And tessa and Ryan are great. I love sheila and Fred. Bring it back!
I don’t think uk viewers are considered in these scenarios! We love it as e4s quite big Thursday’s! Someone get in touch with kickstarter
Also, is it still possible to judge viewing figures when you’re able to record tv? I don’t know how it works but something seems amiss!
I totally agree with you!! Just seen the last episode and they cannot leve it on a cliffhanger between tessa and Ryan !!!!!!
I absolutely love suburgatory, I wish they would make a season 4!!! I’ve been always looking forward watching every single episode.
So annoyed to find out this has been cancelled! I have loved this show right from the very start and have even bought the series on DVD! I don’t think it was ready to finish, so much more they could have done with the characters and storyline. Very disappointed in ABC, the ratings aren’t even that bad, you should think about the people that actually love this show!
Whhhaaat I can’t believe it I love this show plz put it back on.
Get it back for season 4. Love from the uk
I love this show I want to know what happens, Please Please bring it back
We love it here in australia
I want a 4th season why did do cut ot??
It was an absolutely fantastic series how could anyone cancel it like that and especially on such a cliff-hanger. When I found out it was cancelled I though it was just a joke. I need to know what happens in the end!!!!
I KNOW!! why?!?! I am literally crying, I want to know what happens with everybody, it can’t just end like that!
