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?
Very sad to see this go. So happy Tesla and Ryan ended it together. All my favorites get canceled. I must have terrible taste in tv 🙁
No you don’t have bad tast. The show’s I like alway get cancelled also. It seems to me that the simple, cute, charming, tastefully funny shows don’t make it as much as the sick, disturbing, Bloody, evil, murder ect. ones do.What does that say about the world we live in?
I agree. I feel the same way, sometimes. I liked the characters and cared about them, especially George, Tessa and Dallas. I would watch it if it moved to a different time slot or station.
Was definitely hoping TBS or someone else would pick it up. …
I LOVE THIS SHOW!! I can’t believe it’s cancelled, I wanted to see what happened between tessa and Ryan! 🙁 I love them two together. So disappointed.. :'(
Yes so happy Ryan came back love them together!
it was a very good show
it was very sophisticated and lovely
the stars were great
is upset it got cancelled, I don’t watch much of anything because they always seem to cancel the show and as soon as I was finally getting into it, it gets cancelled. there is still so much left unsaid…
Support for Suburgatory! We should all try to do our part to ensure ABC changes their minds. Castle and DWTS along with Shield for another year are good with DWTS being on the reality fringe, but really how long for the Middle and Modern Family. MF is deep in syndication. So if they want that network again? Their audience viewers would get younger and they could keep go actors. “Blash-ish?” One of any of the noted actors got that cherished Executive Producer position also? 5 shows max. #SAVESUBRGATORY or hopefully MTV gets it. Just like Awkward.
ABC has a tendency to shut down shows that are basically critically acclaimed and cancel them for shows that aren’t better. Jane Levy leading that ensemble cast was amazing. This show belongs on MTV much like Awkward. Don’t trust the B, Happy Endings, now Suburgatory. They renew The Goldbergs and the commercial were enough for me not to. Mixology was a smart and sexy show. Now you’ve scheduled Anthony Anderson in a sitcom called Black-ish. They’ve added Tracee Ellis Ross and Laurence Fishburne. Wonder if ABC knows or cares how shows end up on USA, A&E,TNT and TBS and are… Read more »
I would totally follow it!! Love that show!! 🙁
I am definitely upset that it was cancelled. It was one of my favorite shows 🙁
I would follow to another station…maybe TBS?
It’s one of my favourite series! It’s so lovely in its own crazy way.. (please excuse any mistakes, I’m german)
I absolutely love suburgatory and am very sad it is ending so soon.
I would follow it to any channel.
Don’t cancel please .. I’d really love to watch a season 4 . Hopefully with the ending that Tessa and Ryan get back together .. Plesase don’t cancel . 🙁
ahhhhh…..I will miss this show…………it was so adorable……….loved all the characters………..everyone made me laugh………….this shouldn’t of been canceled 🙁
The first season the show aired it seemed to have promise. By season two the plot lines were so ridiculously stupid it just became painful to watch. Not sorry to see this turkey take flight.
