With October Road and Men in Trees now cancelled, ABC seems to be on a killing spree — not unlike the “Kiss-Me-Not” killer on Women’s Murder Club. With that in mind, it makes sense that Murder Club would be the network’s next casualty.
ABC’s Women’s Murder Club, based on the popular James Patterson books, debuted on October 12, 2007. Viewer and critical reception was mixed. Almost 11 million viewers tuned in for the series premiere but as few as eight million returned for later episodes. More importantly, the TV show’s percentage of the 18-49 demographic dropped as well. The show typically skews older which is essentially a sin in TV ratings.
After the writers strike finished, it looked like Murder Club was done but ABC decided to give it another chance. They fired the show’s executive producers, hired new ones and order three additional episodes to complete the season. The series then returned to primetime after a three month absence. Unfortunately, the numbers didn’t get any better.
The crime drama has now been officially cancelled but, fortunately for fans, they’ll get to see all of the produced episodes. Episode 13, titled “Never Tell”, is scheduled to air tomorrow night. Will the “Kiss-Me-Not” killer be brought to justice by the time the series ends? Stay tuned! 
BIG MISTAKE, HUGE!!!!! I can’t believe it. My entire family enjoyed the show!!!!!
I will never watch ABC again….WMC was the ONLY good show they had…ABC has nothing to offer the viewers. The only other good program you have is Brother & Sisters…will that one be next????
When will ABC be off the air for good??????????
I’m 15 and I like this show. What is wrong with ABC. It’s the best show ever!
Everybody who really wants to let ABC know what we think, come here:

We’re looking forward to hearing from you, as we’re just as pissed off as you are.
One of the best shows ABC had this season.. It was just getting good and now they killed it.. They never know a good show when it is sitting right in front of them. All shows have decreased in ratings because of the stupid writers strike.. it takes time to get viewers back especially when the network switches the time and day slot of the show. If people didnt catch the change to Tuesday nights, they might have thought it never came back after the strike. BRING BACK WOMEN’S MURDER CLUB!!!!!!!!! This is why I have been watching more and… Read more »
wtf i am a male and i loved the show. I read all the books and the show was great ABC can suck a nut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m 23 and I love this show… idiots ABC!
Once again ABC killed another great show. I expected this from then, since they never want to keep any good shows on the Network. I AM BOYCOTTING ABC. I hope others will join me.
Womens Murder Club is a gem!!! I have not missed one episode, I am “hooked”. Please do not cancel this program. What ever you would replace it with I WILL NOT watch……
The reception was mixed only in so far as male critics mocked it, male viewers hated it, and thosr are the people networks covet to. They are not interested in women’s opinion.
A blatant case of misogyny killed Women’s Murder Club.
When CW cancelled the Gilmore Girls last season, I took it really hard. The show was superb. None of my friends ever caught on to the show, but when a few friends decided to check me out and watch my 7 seasons of episodes they fell in love with it. Edgy, great writing, great cast. It had so much. I was devastated when it went off the air. It was one of the best shows to ever hit the TV screen. My friend and he daughter love the show and can’t wait to get the next season. But when I… Read more »
I never liked ABC anyway. Nothing good on it. They canceled the only great show (WMC) they had.. oh yeah, I’m 26, gee your statistics are WRONG, especially since most people I know are 19-49 that watch it. I guess you don’t count us! Hopefully some network realizes the potential this show really has and picks it up, because it does NOT suck.
Just another reason to switch to cable! Every time you have a good show you cancel it. All you care about are the stupid reality shows. i’m done!!!!!!!!!
What is wrong with ABC. Do they not want people to watch their station? Me and many of my friends were thrilled with women murder club. We watched every episode and never missed one minute. The next day was all about womens murder club. I wil definitely boycott abc now and so will my friends. As far as I am concerned this show was the one thing abc had going for it. It was the only thing I watched on their network.
[…] Murder Club (ABC): Series Finale. It looks like ABC has killed this show off. Hopefully, we will at least capture the Kiss Me Not Killer tonight before things come to an end. […]
