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!
bueno la verdad era uno de los programas mas vistos en argentina, ya que la historia se basaba no en tipicas novelas o miniseries en la que terminan todos bien. bueno parese que voy a tener que mirar los programas por internet ya que la ABC se dio a cancelarlo, bueno lo unico que espero que la serie de bones no sea cancelada por ellos, y que sigan haciendolo ya q el ultimo episodio quedo en incognita , ya que booth fue baleado y no se sabe si muere o no. yo en mi opinion women’s clubs era un buen… Read more »
i seriously cannot believe that abc is cancelling this show. my friends and i all get together every week to watch it. we are highly disappointed. people are right the only good show really left on this network is desperate housewives…ridiculous
I guess I won’t bewatching ABC at all this season.
Well, these were 3 of my favorite shows also.. I guess I will just have to start watching another network.
What are you thinking?????? I really don’t understand this?? This was a GREAT show, very disapointed in ABC.
WoW three of my favorite shows with major cliff hangers in 2 and you just dump them??? WHAT??? It’s like getting to the end of a good book and the last page has been torn out…. VERY frustrating!
I have watched alot of show on abc, and yes I am tierd of every show that I start to get into you cancel it Womens Murder Club, Men In Trees, October Road, The Nine.I also watch alot of show on nbc at least they keep their shows on long enough so that you can enjoy them and get the closer that you need from a series.
I will continue to watch nbc. I will not watch a new series with abc afraid it will be cancel so why watch it an dget hooked.
I live in Australia, and my younger sister and I were on the edge of our seats every week after WMC, desperate to know what the next week would hold. It is a fantastic show, with a great cast, and has awesome potential. We have been hanging out waiting until the next season finally makes it to Australia. To find out that is it being cancelled is disappointing. I’d have to agree very strongly with Rosalie (May 26) seriously, who wants to watch stuff like the Supernanny and stuff like that? WMC is a great show. To cancel it, ABC,… Read more »
What are you all thinking. I am an avid James Patterson fan and this series put faces to the characters, the stories, plots and actors were great. Angie Harmon was great as Lindsey. Please reconsider!!!!!!
I am very angry that this show got cancelled!! I think this show did great things for ABC. You cancelled this show, when in actuallity it was very difficult for veiwers to know when it was playing because of the writers strike. I think you need to give this show a second chance!! But if not, I am a follower and will be heading to CBS!!
Im wondering if another network will bring WMC or MIT back, I sent an email to TNT (a network that rarely cancels anything) and one to ABC to see if there is anything to be done. THESE SHOWS WERE GREAT. A lot better then some of the crap still on TV.
I LOVED this show! One of the classiest shows on TV…thanks a lot….
Perhaps if everyone got a petition to boycott ABC and sent it to ABC and various sponsors, Maybe they would stop canceling such excellent shows.
ABC has nothing left to watch – check out CBS.
This was one of the best shows on TV. Why kill the good stuff?
I cannot believe this MIT, OR and now WMC what is ABC doing?!! I am absolutely upset and out raged. That was a really good show. I look forward to each each week. I hope they reconsider and bring it back.
I can`t believe this! WMC rocks, it`s a great show and they are cancelling it. No wonder why they suck
