After airing just six episodes, ABC has decided to cancel Downward Dog. The series follows the life of Nan as narrated by her dog, Martin. The series had a rough start, hitting a 1.1 after Modern Family on premiere night, but ended up doing well for its timeslot premiere. Unfortunately, it fell to a 0.7 against an onslaught of competition the week after. Its most recent episode managed just a 0.6 in the 18-49 ratings. The series stars Allison Tolman, Barry Rothbart, and Samm Hodges as the voice of Martin. Samm Hodges, who is also the creator, broke the news on Twitter.
