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?

I love the show !!!! BRING IT BACK !!!!!
At least now they have “Lights Out” now. If they take that show off I’ll personally fly out to L.A. and knock those FX Execs lights out!
Does anyone know how we all can write to FX to ask them to change their minds? How the hell does “How I Met Your Mother” and “Big Bang Theory” get to stay on TV they both suck!!! As well as “NJ Shore!!!”
This crap always happens,just when I really get hooked on a show.
Perhaps the TV ratings are dropping because people are dropping from Cable and watching the show on Hulu.com, ever think of that? This was a great show too. You FX Execs suck!
So sad. I was just checking to see when it started up for the 2nd season. I am heart broken they are ending it…
oh come on!!! Terriers wuz a fantastic show! The writing was just delicious. I always had a good stinking memorable laugh. Pssh why do they always take out the good stuff right after a captive ending?? The solid good stuff never lasts. What a shame. All the networks want is an immediate HIT!! If it don’t hit, the checks are voided. TV shows are in the toilet>>>i’m gonna stick to gaming 😛
GREAT SHOW. FX NEEDS TO BRING BACK.
great show! maybe someone else will pick it up
This was a great show. I can not believe that they cancelled this after one season. The season finale left us all on the edge of our seat wondering which way season 2 would go. I must say that I am really disappointed in the decision FX made.
One of the best new shows. FX never gave it a a chance. I guess the buzz just didn’t materialize and the titlle could have used some work…..instead of Terriers, maybe Bulldogs, because that’s what they were. As realistic as they get and no syrupy mishmash. BRING BACK TERRIERS!
This sucks! Terriers was such a unique and intriguing series! I found myself looking forward to the next Terriers episode over any other regularly DVR’d program.
They advertise the hell out of crap shows, but never put any effort in to promoting this series… it was doomed from the start.
Yup my thoughts exactlley. This was one of the best show, scripts and acting and now they pull this Sh.. and cancel a great show and stuck with crap thats on all the time
Kudos to the people who made this happen. Anyways there will be a better show coming out soon and I probally give it 3 months if it has a plot and good story.
what a great show,none like it.if you give it a second chance i am sure it will get better ratings. you should not get people hip ed up on a program and then just ditch US. you keep crap on and cancel well written and acted show
It deserves a second chance…good show!!
First, LIFE was cancelled, now Terriers. But don’t worry your stupid housewife shows and fat people losing weight shows will continue to run till we’re all dead. Good job, FX now I have no reason to check out your channel at all.
