Though many critics loved the FX series, Terriers just couldn’t attract enough viewers to stay alive. FX has announced the TV show has been officially cancelled.
Terriers follows a pair of unorthodox and unlicensed private detectives. They’ll take just about any job, no matter how small or how strange. The show stars Donal Logue, Michael Raymond-James, Kimberly Quinn, Laura Allen, Rockmond Dunbar, and Jamie Denbo.
The series debuted to a 0.5 rating among the 18-49 demographic and 970,000 total viewers. When compared to other FX shows, that was a poor showing right from the start. The numbers went lower for subsequent episodes and the recent season finale attracted a 0.3 demo rating and 784,000 viewers.
FX President John Landgraf is expected to discuss the decision later today but ultimately the reason for the cancellation seems quite clear.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Terriers won’t be returning for a second season? Why didn’t it catch on? Was it simply a confusing title or something more?

This is one of the best shows on the air. Why would anyone cancel something so entertaining?
Just dumb!
I can not believe this… FX is loosing its touch. I am extreemly unhappy with them ending the Terriers show. Its simply left too much to anticipate! I think whether the rating support it or not they should continue. Especially when season two could be so amazing!! We all know they are just going to play old movies in its place. Its too bad….
We loved this show! The first one we were not too sure of but after that we really liked the show. The actors are great and the story is unusual but believeable. We are really upset that this has been cancelled. I was really looking forward to what was going to happen next.
i agree with all the above coments this was only one worth watching in all tv..sucks.
I agree with Betty…..everything I like gets canceled….I hope someone picks this up….
NOT HAPPY NOW!
I CANNOT BELIEVE that this show is cancelled…WHAT THE….I don’t understand why this happened. Was it too for real? I mean seriously does there have to be blood and death in EVERY COP SHOW? UGH!!! BAD BAD CHOICE!!!!
Love Terriers.
I’m furious with FX and saying so long to that network………
Every time that I find a program that I love it’s canceled. Am I that offbeat? I think not. This program with it’s flawed characters was interesting and real. I agree that Terriers wasn’t promoted enough and I found it quite by accident when surfing the channels. I hope that the network will reconsider their folly.
Another network NEEDS to pick this show up.
Wow! Really? I don’t even know what to say. I dreamed about what would happen in the next season and I was so excited to watch it again then FX crushed my dreams! It was the highlight of my week. I was lucky and came across the first episode because I was channel surfing and fell in love with it from the get go. It’s ok, see if I ever tune into FX again. I’m sure I speak for the rest of the 978,000 viewers.
This was one of my favorite shows…it was a great show and its better than most of the crap on tv…sad very bad move
Another great show cancelled. Unbelievable! The writing in this show was exceptionable, very clever and very funny. And I loved the main characters. I truly believe that given more time, it would have become very popular. Maybe the title threw people off, who knows. It’s a tragedy that we keep so many stupid programs and get rid of the ones that we look forward to.
I loved this show, neatly woven storyline, clever sarcasm, likable characters…flat out shame it’s cancelled. I’m still waiting to see what happens next.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!! THE only show my wife and I looked forward to watching!!! I agree with everyone on this site who think “corp” america is completly out of touch with what’s happening on the street. I turned my friends onto to Terriers and everyone likes the show. We thought it to be an instant hit!! GREAT story line. Hopefully, another network will pick it up, move it to another time slot, and watch the ratings soar!!!
FX is trying to win over watchers, they just lost a whole bunch!!!!! I’m blocking their channel and ALL their advertisers!! Good luck FX.
