What do you think? Did you enjoy The Kids Are Alright TV show? Would you have watched season two of this ABC comedy series?
This was a wonderful clever show. Very sad it is being cancelled
I look forward to this series for laughs and great viewing. Hope Netflix or some other network will pick the series up.
GREAT AND CLEVER SHOW!! Enjoyed the whole cast they all worked so well together.
This was my wife and my favorite new show! Hopefully someone else picks it up.
I agree!
Cannot believe ABC cancelled this great show…. loved the humor…great characters, especially the Mom. What is ABC thinking? Did they not learn from their loss of Last Man Standing? FOX…are you listening? Steal this enjoyable comedy!!
Easily the best-scripted sitcom of the new season. Save The Kids Are Alright, FOX television! Netflix?!
Relatable. Heartwarming. Hilarious
All the characters are excellent.
We’re Catholic and love it.
My siblings and I get together Tuesday nights to watch “The Kids Are Alright.”
Haven’t done that since “Friends” and “Seinfeld.”
Netflix Help
This was by far the best ABC comedy. I can’t believe others were renewed over this one. I would have watched Season 2 and all other seasons of this show. Good-bye ABC. My family will not be watching your network.
I don’t know what the people at ABC are smoking because they’re getting rid of some great shows! They’ll keep all those stupid reality shows but not actual sitcoms. Morons.
So upset the kids are alright has been cancelled
Out loud funny. What are u thinking ABC?
Great family show with identifiable characters
Something for everyone. Cleverly written
Characters are hilarious Bring it Back !!!
I liked this show….They can keep Fresh Off The Boat and/or Bless This Mess!!!! smh
I’m genuinely surprised ABC gave this one the axe. As usual ABC delivers the best and worst news on TV’s Black Friday. Yay for Single Parents… Total bummer for The Kids Are Alright.
I am thoroughly bummed. This show is unique and funny.
No doubt I would have watched more! Great show! So very sad to see it go!
So disappointed! Our whole family love and watch the show—repeatedly. As a 70s kid raised Catholic, I could totally relate.
I am so upset about this cancellation. The casting, acting and plots were so perfect. Whyyyyyyyyyyy? I tell everyone they need to watch this. Hopefully someone will produce it on Netflix. That would fit in with so many great shows we watch. Very disappointed, Alphabet.

That’s a great idea about Netflix, especially since they cancelled One Day at a Time.
