What do you think? Do you like The American Baking Competition TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
I wish they had called it The Great American Bake Off. Why didn’t they call it that?
I love the ABC on CBS as well! Don’t cancel it!
I LOVED this show! And my husband was as enthralled with it as I was. I actually started searching this morning to see when the 2014 series would begin. PLEASE don’t tell me they have cancelled yet another of my favourites.
I loved the show as well. Is it being renewed I’ve heard conflicting stories.
Considering people were having affairs (about 3 different married people) no I do not think the show should air again.
The American Baking Competition is an excellent show! I’m not a fan of t.v. programing, yet I could not wait each week to watch this program. Please continue the ABC for the many home bakers like myself. It’s so inspiring!
I loved the show. Hope it comes back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love cooking competitions, but they are loaded with bad language and nasty people so I don’t watch them. This was great, it’s like sitting in an audience watching your friends compete. It was very refreshing for those of us who are tired of classless people with bad attitudes. Love the show, hope it gets renewed.
I like the show… Not some action packed show but enjoyable.
I loved the show! So nice to see classy competitors on a reality show for once! I hope they renew it!
I loved watching the show. It was simple, but interesting and entertaining with people who were all different personalities, while being believable and real. I’m sorry that the last episode has aired and am holding out hope it will return for another season
I love the show! so refreshing to see something wholesome on tv.
