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 can’t believe that “Terriers” is being canceled! I agree that with all this push to get TiVo, DVR, and OnDemand that networks would find a way to count all the viewers who use them to watch their favorite shows. If they are only taking it off the air due to low ratings, I feel that we should demand a recount.
Terriers was the only show that my wife and I made time to watch!
Here’s a thought…
Promote the hell out of it and give it one more shot. It really was the best show on TV. (the only show on TV, all the rest is crap)
Great cast, great storyline. Just needed the right time slot and promoted well so that people knew what the heck “Terriers” was…
Really bummed.
Plsssssssssssss FX bring my FAV show back are make sure someone els gets it…Dammmmmm
Loved the show, it was actually my favorite show on television!
I loved the show and will miss it. Funny how shows with writing for adults have a difficult time staying on the air. I wish it would be brought back, but realize that will not happen.
I am so mad that this show was cancelled! This really could have been a great show! I think that previews may have been misleading which probably did not attract viewers. When will people realize that some shows catch on more during the second season? Not only that, does anyone ever consider that more peiple use TiVo and On Demand services more to watch their favorite shows? I read that these are not being counted and the only way to count viewers is to watch the show while airing. Please reconsider cancelling the show. Thank you.
I LOVE this show!!! If it had not been on “Comcast On Demand” I would never have found out about it. I was very disappointed to find out it was going to be canceled.
Seems every show I reallly like gets canceled.
Don’t kill “Terriers”! Give it a chance to grow.
Terriers is just about the best thing I’ve seen on television. It was the only show that I have ever literally jumped out of my seat for. I can’t believe it’s getting canceled. I know that it wasn’t hyped at all, but everyone that I’ve turned on to it loves it. Give this show another shot and put it in front of people.
As usual get the viewer into a show an cancel it…Fox is as bad as NBC with the hatchet…..the only thing that seems to last are these ridiculous reality shows…I am done with watching any new series shows… Fox sucks…hate unfinished stories or poorly slapped together endings … Fox would make more money selling the land the studios sit on to tomato farmers…instead of making all these one season unfinished shows …ass cracks…
LIKE MOST OF US I CANNOT FATHOM THAT FX CANCELLED THIS GREAT SHOW. I AM MORE THAN A LITTLE MAD AND I HOPE A MORE INTELLEGENT AND SOPHISTICATED NETWORK PICKS UP THIS SHOW PRONTO. SPONSORS LISTEN UP, MOST OF THE SHOWS ON FX ARE PURE CRAP AND I FOR ONE WILL NOT WATCH FX PROGRAMS AGAIN. I AM DISGUSTED.
that’s really unfortunate – its a great show – another one hits the dust – don’t they ever think about getting the word out there – bah humbug
I can’t believe another smart and funny show is being canceled. I am starting to believe that our taste in entertainment is a direct reflection of our society. Shows like Hawaii 5-0 flourish and original programming like “Terriers” and “Rubicon” get axed. This stinks, this show is great and deserves a season 2.
You guys have to bring the show back!!!! That show was great! I looked forward to watching that every week. Give it another chance you guys didnt even promote it that much. Please.
