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 am SICK that Terriers has been cancelled – my husband and I LOVE THIS SHOW. It is the best thing on TV hands down – why do great shows like this get canceled and crap like Desperate Housewives stays on? Not enough T&A? Too smart a plotline? Dialog too understated? (which one of the main reasons we love it). The acting was top notch and the story just complicated enough to make you watch every week but not so much that you couldn’t follow it. The chemistry among the characters was great – really loved the dynamic between Hank… Read more »
I am so sad. I do not have cable, so I had to watch online, but I never missed an episode. I love this show. Why do all the good shows get cancelled? I can’t stand to watch one more reality show! I need to know…did he turn left?
One of the best new shows on tv. Leaves you wondering what’s goin to happen each week. Very very dissatisfied that they are going to cancel Terriers.
This is a great show, good writing, acting and production – I can’t believe it only got one year to survive, it’s to bad that the only thing people tune in for these days is mindless reality, dancing and housewives.
Truly disappointing…Great show…great acting…I am terrified to let my guy know! Getting super tired of investing in shows only to see them canceled. There is so much junk out there, please stop canceling the good ones.
I’m gutted that another original, clever show is being cut and the unoriginal clones survive!
Oh man – I can’t believe FX did this! What a great show – and they cancel it? Figures…
I was so looking forward to Season 2…What do we do to change your minds?
I looked forward to watching every episode of Terriers!!!! It’s unfortunate and extremely disappointing that the show has been cancelled….. I was anticipating the new season!!!!
Please bring Terriers back!!!!!!!!!!!
I, too, thoroughly enjoy Terriers and am furious FX is leaving fans “in the lurch” with no second season!!! The “season finale” left so many questions and I was looking forward to find out what would happen next in this clever, quirky duo’s escapades. I’m so sick of intelligently scripted, well acted, unique programs being cancelled.
Like others who have posted here, I am really disheartened to see this show cancelled when there’s so much crap out there! Was it the title? Did FX not do enough promotion? I watch it on Hulu, so I couldn’t say. But it’s honestly one of the better written shows I’ve seen outside of HBO, SHOWTIME stuff. Not to mention, it let me, a native OBtian live back in OB for 30 mins. a week. Seriously, FX, rethink this and promote this show. Critics loved it for good reason.
Terriers is my favorite show, and my husband’s, too. We totally look forward to watching it every week and if it was on every day, we’d watch it without fail. The writing is great and the cast is superb. When I found it, I couldn’t believe how good it was, and I would never miss an episode. It’s so different than all the empty-headed, same-story- line cop shows. It has so much heart and soul and originality. We love all the characters. I think the viewer problem was caused by the late hour it was on and maybe the network… Read more »
I am very disappointed that this show has been canceled – I look forward to watching it every week. The characters are interesting and have great chemistry. How can we save this show???
I love the show. It’s different and that’s what I’m always looking for in a T.V. show. I
cannot stand or look at 90% of what’s on these days. I would best describe the popular
shows as boring or stupid. This show is neither. The writing is good and the two main
characters are cute, caring and fun. I cannot believe it’s being cancelled. Why not give
it another year to catch on and attract people who know a good show when they see it.
Please!!!!!
i watch a lot of tv, and this show is one of my favorites, easily the best new show of 2010. i am so pissed it is getting cancelled.
