It seems that TV Land is committed to saying goodbye to their multi-camera comedies. The cable channel recently renewed The Soul Man for a fifth and final season and now The Exes, their only other traditional sitcom, has been cancelled.
The Exes follows single divorce attorney Holly Franklin (Kristen Johnston) and her three divorced male friends/clients (David Alan Basche, Donald Faison, and Wayne Knight) who rent an apartment she owns. Eden (Kelly Stables) is Holly’s assistant and Nikki (Leah Remini) is one of the guys’ sister.
Johnston broke the news of the cancellation on Twitter:

And, from the president of TV Land:

The ratings for The Exes have come way down over the years. The first season averaged a 0.27 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.18 million viewers. The current fourth season has been averaging a 0.13 rating with 560,000 viewers — about the same as one of TV Land’s new comedies, Impastor.
What do you think? Do you like The Exes TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fifth season.
This show would fit in great over at TBS! Someone please tell TBS to bring The Exes over to their family!!!
Loved exes..dang..guess i dont have to watch tv now
I can’t believe it. this is a great show. the cast is terrific. evey episode is funny. tv land made a big mistake in canceling the show. I never missed an episode. who the heck is making these bad decisions at tv land? my wife and I will miss it.
I loved this show as well as Hot In Cleveland. I don’t understand the tastes of people. It seems that they watch it for a season or two and then move on. TV seasons are much shorter than they used to be, so 3 seasons of cable programming is about the same as one season of network TV. It takes time for a show to “hit it’s stride” and this one just had the best series of shows yet, they cancel it? I know that ratings are very important, so people, why not stay with it longer??

This is a great show. Watching it makes you feel good even when you’re down. Every character is terrific. Instead of canceling TV Land’s good comedies like the Exes and Hot in Cleveland, get rid of the two new shows which I can’t even get through watching them. Not good shows at all and you know the two I’m talking about.
Please keep The Exes on the air. It deserves an earlier time and has enough fans to keep it on for several more seasons! Such a funny show. The laughs and quality is there. It is worth saving. It does have adult storylines that younger adults will like.
My husband and I had a standing date with the TV on Wednesdays for Hot in Cleveland and The Exes. Another network needs to pick up The Exes and run with it! Sooo funny! Great acting and even better writing. What sad news…
Sort of saw this coming after the Execs did not return in a timely way this last season. I wish all the actors well and they will keep moving.
UGH…first Hot in Cleveland, and now the Exes. These two shows were very funny, and two of the best comedies on TV. I am not at all happy with TV Land!
The problem TV Land has is the shows go on hiatus and people have no idea what has happened to the show. Then when it returns 4 months later people have no idea it is back on. This and Hot In Cleveland were two of the funniest shows on television. As for the newer shows …….. Done with TV Land.
i agree. If not for my DVR picking them up, I would have known this season had started.

Another great show gone. Great cast.
WHAT A SHAME……….GOOD SHOW………..GREAT CAST…………. ……..GREAT WRITING!!! START CONTACTING TVLAND SPONSORS AND TELL THEM WE WILL NOT SUPPORT THIER PRODUCTS!!! TVLAND THANKS FOR CANCELLING ANOTHER GOOD SHOW!!!
Well it happen again! Another show that I can’t wait to see every week has been taken away! This was by far the funniest show I seen in a decade, i hope the actors find other T.V work soon. Talent like this, along with great writing should not be silenced.
I love this show and have looked forward to this show along with new shows on TVland. I think they(TV land) should have one night and make the whole night with new shows. For example the Exes should have been a lead-in to younger. All about the same demographics and subject matter. am disappointed because this show had a great ensemble and was truly funny. TV land should order new episodes and try them on same day as Younger….at least give it a try.
WOW! This is a great show and so funny….You have to remember TV land does not have millions of viewers of major networks and just because less than a million viewers does not mean it is no good…..PLEASE keep it on the air……
