What do you think? Did you enjoy The Kids Are Alright TV show? Would you have watched season two of this ABC comedy series?
I love this show as do all my family members from ages 21-71. We never miss an episode. We tape them and rewatch them! I cannot believe that it has been cancelled! The crime shows, police and fire shows far outnumber the comedy and family shows. Not all of us are interested in crime, suspense, and the Bachelor. I don’t know how you know who watches or doesn’t but you didn’t ask me, my family, or my friends!! Keep The Kids Are Alright on!!! Please!
My husband and I don’t usually watch sitcoms but this show has captured our hearts. We agree with the comments about ABC making a big mistake. We would have continued to watch every show. We had been telling friends and family to start watching. Fox should definitely pick this one up!
Best show on ABC, they must be crazy to cancel this show!
Love this show! Grew up in the ’70s in a big Catholic family. Shows how hard parents worked together to raise their families and it’s a funny show. So very disappointed that is was cancelled. Only show we watched on ABC. Hey FOX, pick this up like you did Last Man Standing!
Just watched the series on demand, and it’s great! Tons of cleaver laughs. Saddens me to see no second season.
Love Kids are all right, only show I watched on ABC, heart broken theirs not a season two.
So many of us just love The kids are alright . Please bring it back. I’m so sad about this.
I am so sad this show was cancelled 🙁 I looked forward to a second season and would have watched many more! The characters were great and it reminded me of the 70’s. Any chance of another network picking it up???
The funniest show on TV and ABC is canceling it. If they knew how to promote this show we would have a 2nd season. I will switch my attention to another network. Shame on you ABC, our family loves The Kids Are Alright.
Very disappointed that this show has been cancelled. The cast was wonderful and the characters were great. My family really enjoyed this show.
We love this show! Is there any chance it will be picked up elsewhere?
ABC Shame On You!!!!
Why couldn’t ABC give it a chance!!!??
My husband and I are so disappointed to hear this show has been cancelled. The casting was spot on.
There are so many shows that could stand to be cancelled other than The Kids Are Alright.
I’m quite disappointed to see this show won’t be given a second season. I found it generally entertaining and often times laugh out loud funny. If you grew up in the 1970s chances are you’d find this show hilarious. Unfortunately, it seems the most well written shows are usually given the shortest time to catch on in the current “TV marketplace.”
So sad that was the funniest show on TV.
Such a shame to cancel a really funny show. I look forward to every episode. ABC is making a big mistake.
This show is by far one of the funniest, smart, and we’ll acted shows on TV today. It has never been offensive to any one group or one person. It’s just family funny, that means I can watch it with my whole family and not be embarrassed for them and myself. Been a very long time . It’s nice to go from the dinner table as a family to the TV to watch a show as family…my kids are all right!
Great show, great cast and really good stories. I hope FOX or another network picks it up.
