It looks like the singing is over for The Sing-Off on NBC — at least for now.
The a capella singing competition debuted in December 2009 and ran for just four episodes. It was renewed for a second season of five episodes. The network execs then decided to try The Sing-Off as a regular fall series but the ratings really suffered.
It was believed to be cancelled but NBC revived the show for a fourth season that aired during the holidays to low ratings.
A fifth season was ordered but the network ended up making it a two hour special instead. That aired December 17, 2014 and drew more low ratings.
There’s been no word on the fate of The Sing-Off in over a year and the NBC site hasn’t been updated since December 2014. What’s more, the official casting site still reflects the Fall 2014 audition information.
So, it appears that the show is over — at least for now. Networks bring shows back all the time these days so the series certainly could be revived at some point in the future.
What do you think? Do you like The Sing-Off TV show? Would you like to see it return for a sixth season at some point in the future?
This is one of my most favorite shows and of course when you like something you go and cancel it. I truly enjoyed that show I would love to watch it again.
Please bring The Sing-Off back. I loved it way more than American Idol or The Voice
I love the Sing off. Please bring it back, and let us know when it will air. I love Home Free, and Pentatonic, and Vocal Point. I would love to hear more groups perform. .
I bet if you brought back The Sing Off and Announced it where everyone knew, the ratings would be off the chain!
Love the Sing Off. Bring the show back!
Seems the popularity of both Pentatonix and Home Free would indicate to the “powers that be” that there is a desire for a show like The Sing Off. bring it back!!!
My husband I loved this show! We are hoping it will come back in some form. Look, it introduced us to the Pentatonix!
Loved The Sing-Off when it was a weekly show – it wasn’t the same when it was done all in one week, and especially the two-hour version. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the show’s spin-off concerts, and it was awesome. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a similar event since. I would dearly love for this show to return, especially if Ben Folds would be a judge again. Please bring Sing-Off back!
It was a fun, good, clean show that could show off their talents without instruments backing them up and to be able to date too was awsome
Out of all the TV shows this is truly the only show I’ve.voiced my opinion, I’ve never really paid that much attention to them. But with all the crazy shows on, please reconsider this program , it gave groups to be able to 100 percent use their talents. It was also a fun energetic tv show, please, I beg you to bring that show back on.
The Sing Off is fantastic, showcasing TRUE talent! It is truly a gift to be able to sing a cappella. I have looked forward to this show every year. I was disappointed that it was only on for one 2 hour episode last year, but at least it came on. With a lot of silly trash on TV these days, it would be a shame to cancel this magnificent show. I especially love the sound and success of Penatonix. I certainly hope the network reconsiders and brings The Sing Off back for the 2016 holiday season and perhaps many more.… Read more »
Loved the show. Looked forward to it every week. Why is it that you get a good clean show that you cancel it and put on something the whole family can’t watch. Look how Pentonix is doing.
This was a great show I’m not much of a music person but my wife loved it and I watched it with her the first year. Then I could not wait to see it again. We watched all seasons and have missed it, each year do a search to see if by chance it will return. Please!
Loved the show – so many talented people. Please bring it back for season 6.
I would think the the success of Pentatonix and the Pitch Perfect movies would be sufficient evidence that the series deserves another shot.
