Why did ABC cancel The Kids Are Alright? Recently, network boss Karey Burke addressed ABC’s decision to end the TV show after only one season, TVLine reports.
Set in the 1970s, the sitcom centers on the Clearys, an Irish-Catholic family living on the outskirts of Los Angeles. The cast includes Michael Cudlitz, Mary McCormack, Sam Straley, Caleb Foote, Sawyer Barth, Christopher Paul Richards, Jack Gore, Andy Walken, and Santino Barnard.
During this year’s summer TCA press conference, Burke explained why ABC decided to cancel The Kids Are Alright, saying:
We looked at many measures. We looked at multi-platform viewing. We looked at social media sentiment. There did not seem to be a strong enough fan base at the time. These things always come down to business decisions, and this was a tough, tough decision.”
On Twitter, star Michael Cudlitz responded to the comment:
Seriously, @abc. Just say “no comment”. This is just rude. I apologize to the @TheKidsABC fandom on behalf of @abc. Smfh. https://t.co/qJoRzJanzE
