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.
I love this show! I wish it would have been renewed for another season. Now what will I watch?
Love the show! Didn’t know it was cancelled until I watched the latest episode with Haskell getting married. I deduced it was the final show since the show is centered around 3 DIVORCED guys living in the SAME apartment. Sad to see it go! 🙁
I loved this show it was well written and very funny. I cannot believe you axed it.
The Exes, to me, was the best comedy series on TV. Saw the last show when Haskell remarried but didn’t realize it was the final show until I looked at the TV schedule yesterday and did not see it listed. Regular TV sitcoms have not interested me since the ’90s, but I watched The Exes faithfully since its first season and its cancellation depresses me. Why was it cancelled? I admit that I found one or two episodes a bit silly between last season and this, but all the other episodes crackled with surprise and pleasant insanity that kept me… Read more »
I can’t believe it’s over!!! Who’s in charge?? They need to be cancelled!! It was a great show. I think TV Land needs new management. Bad decision.
One of the funniest shows on TV? Was very sad by the end of the show that I was watching the last one!!! Don’t know who’s making the decisions but they don’t know what their doing in this case. boy 2 really funny comedies gone in same year (Hot in Cleveland) and now The Exes.
I love The Exes and didn’t realive it was the series finale until the end. How sad! Why have they canceled this great show? I love The Exes and The Soul Man. I hope Netflix will pick it up.
I was disheartened that the Exes was cancelled, tv land had some good comedies going with The Exes and Hot in Cleveland, I just wished the show will get picked up by Netflix or some other station. By far the The Exes is awesome show, please bring it back…
The only reason that I have seen anyone give for them dumping their comedies is that TV Land is abandoning the 3 camera comedies. WTF?????? What is that supposed to mean?? That the number of cameras is what makes a show funny or something?? Totally stupid, if you ask me.
Sad to see the show go. They keep getting rid of comedy shows I like. Sick of reality tv, give me comedy any day.
Renew most definitely!! This is one of the best comedies on TV now. Why mess up a good thing? I will not be watching TV Land anymore.
I have always watched TV Land I love the Exes. I’m going on 51 and don’t really like change I kept Xfinity Comcast Cabel for certain channels I watch a lot I mean ALOT OF TV Mainly Everybody Loves Raymond, Golden Girls , Roseann Bart show , Big Bang , The Exes, I really would like to know all politics aside WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR RATINGS FROM… I watch more tv then all people I know together IV never been asked or herd about how to vote . All the stupid commercials why don’t they throw a vote info… Read more »
I’m so dissapointed. How could they cancel this sitcom. It was so refreshing. It’s been a while since I was able to enjoy a show like this. It had all the right elements to be a hit and it was. Makes you wonder what exactly what network executives are looking for. Seems to me it not about the viewers anymore.
Great show. Why do they always cancel the good, clean, non-violent, entertaining shows? So disappointed! Another good ones bites the dust. So few left and, as a result, I watch less and less TV.
Renew, absolutely! With Hot in Cleveland gone, I was looking to The Exes as my fav TVLand comedy. All is lost, the future is a dark, dark place.
All fans should complain to the commercial sponsors of TV Land. E-mail your complaints to them and there is no reason to cancel the highest rated non-news new program on at 11:00 pm. Keep The Exes. #SaveTheExes Have them visit the Twitter and Facebook #SaveTheExes web sights. The fans want two more seasons!
I really enjoy this show. I usually record it because it was on so late.
one of he best comedies and it has been cancelled….seriously…pls don’t do that.
