It’s looking like Wipeout is all washed up on ABC. The competition series hit some lows in the ratings last summer, was left off the schedule this summer, and now, it’s been removed from the network’s website.
On Wipeout, contestants try to make it through the “world’s largest obstacle course.” The person that makes it in the shortest time wins a cash prize. The program is hosted by John Anderson, John Henson, and Jill Wagner.
The show’s ratings have been coming down over the years and the seventh season was no exception. The 12 episodes, which finished airing in September 2014, registered just a 0.97 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.52 million viewers. That was down about 10% season-to-season.
Some assumed that the show had been renewed because applications were being accepted for a new version of the show called Wipeout Extreme. However, it’s worth remembering that it’s not uncommon for production companies to do that to prepare in case another season gets greenlit and needs to be produced quickly.
ABC hasn’t publiclly renewed or cancelled Wipeout but the network has now removed all traces of the show from their website. They could bring it back at some point but, for now, it looks like Wipeout is done on ABC.
What do you think? Do you like the Wipeout TV show? Would you like to see it return for an eighth season — on ABC or some other channel?
Wipeout is 20 times better than the other garbage ABC has on….Bachelor, Bachelorette; and I think it’s time for Dancing With the Stars to go–can’t watch it with my kids anymore, what with the near-nudity and sexual gyrations–disgusting. Put Wipeout back on!!!! It’s a lot more entertaining and EVERYONE can watch it!!!
Wipe Out is great for my 7 grandchildren who ages range from 8yrs old to 14. I am 66yrs old and love watching my grandkids laughing at some of the obstacles they have put together, and don’t forget the Gnome!
One of my favorite shows!! I was wondering when the heck it was going to be on again.. Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom and I loved Wipeout! I would love to see it come back!

I loved Wipeout, I wish it was back on tv!
That was, BY FAR, our families favorite show and I plead that it continue- even with the extreme changes.
I feel ABC is missing out on the recent surge of like show’s popularity- American Ninja Warrior and Spartan.
2008-2014 was wrong timing, 2015 and on would do great I’m sure.
Wipeout is my favorite show I watched it every week please bring it back
