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! 
i loved wmc abc is stupid october road, men in trees, and womens murder club were all great shows. i wish i knew how they come up with their demographics because everyone i know loved those shows and they were not asked their opinions.
I kept thinking where is that great show with all those darling girls..everyone was cast perfectly…we loved that show…I really think it was because of the strike that they didnt get the numbers because we were really into it….please put it back on….I hate this..it was such a good show with great humor…BRING IT BACK
What a horrible mistake! I LOVE WMC! Please bring it back! Enough of these rediculous reality tv shows. What a shame, ABC! It’s getting to where I don’t watch tv at all because of things like this.
i absolutely hate all these reality tv shows that are now replacing the shows we love, and all these other good ones keep getting cancelled. ill have to quit watchin tv:(
All i can say is huge mistake. Huge, huge mistake. Great book series, great show, and a great filling of cast . And i watch a lot of these types of shows. I was extremely dissappointed it will not return. I think the network should think of its lost viewership as a casualuty of the strike and not of the shows quality and give it another try. i have been wainting thinking that it may start in the new year……you still have a chance !!

I loved this show and I can’t believe that it will no longer be on television. I’m very disappointed with ABC.
Have you people lost your minds!!!! James Patterson ought to wanna break your neck!!! Take all those darn pointless shows off the air like that pair hilton crap……….I am a hugh fan of Patterson’s work….and ya’ll seriously just killed greatness!!!!!
I am a little late getting into the show, i am overseas and i watch it on AFN but i cannot believe it was canceled…that was a really good show. I was extrememly disappointed when i found out that it was cancelled. The actors were great and so was the flow of the show. BRING IT BACK, please. Seriously if there was troubles with the show and it was taken off and then put back on, don’t you think that maybe it was a little difficult for people to find it again? like i said BRING IT BACK PLEASE!
What a loss for fans, because of ABC’s narrow mindedness and lack of vision.
What a great show, with awesome potential, great cast, writers and all who put the show together. congrats.
Please, will a wise and rational network please pick up this gem of a show with cast and all who put it together, and run with it.? They did a great job.
Thank you! 🙂
I can’t believe it either. Such a great show! (Boo ABC)
I kept watching for the return of Women’s Murder Club – never saw where it was to be shown. Now you tell me it returned to only be cancelled. How about it was the fault of the Producers and not the cast and crew of the TV show?
This cancellation is a shame and a clear example how the studio execs are not in tune with the public. THEY SUCK!!!!
It’s a shame this show was canceled. I don’t get how it’s appeal to older viewers is a sin, don’t they matter when it comes to something to view on the screen? It was one of the best shows on but yet people want to watch Dancing with The Stars.
ANGIE you are AMAZING
I’m from New Zealand and am so disappointed to hear WMC is finished! Honestly can’t believe it.. Please bring it back. I don’t see how it could fail – The actors are amazing! Especially Angie Harmon. BRING IT BACK
