Splitting Up Together Canceled by ABC

ABC has canceled romantic comedy Splitting Up Together after two season. The show was a strong performer in season one, but fell almost 50% in season two to a 0.66 average. These declines and the fact that the show is unowned worked heavily against it, leaded ABC to cancel Splitting Up. Jenna Fisher, Oliver Hudson, Diane Farr and Lindsay Price star in the series, which ended its two-season run on April 9. This was a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

The Goldbergs: We haven't discussed ABC's Wednesday at 8 anchor very much this season, and that's because it's been doing its job all season, and there wasn't much reason to discuss it. However, now feels like an appropriate time to talk a bit more about it. The show is one of ABC's strongest comedies, and despite the heavy declines, is a top comedy for broadcast in general. Even though ABC doesn't own the show, the ratings are more than enough to justify another season (and then some), and the show is in no danger whatsoever. The network's entire Tuesday comedy block, as well as half of the Wednesday block, is rating far below The Goldbergs. The show is a CERTAIN RENEWAL.

Schooled: Speaking of The Goldbergs, it also has a spinoff with its fate up in the air. The ultimate fate of Schooled is far more interesting than The Goldbergs. The show has been a decent, but not excellent, performer since the very start. It has an audience that fluctuates greatly each week no matter the size of its lead-in, going from 0.8 to 1.0 in its last two airings. That can make it look pretty weak one week and then very strong the next. ABC might be able to do better in this slot, it is one of their best places to launch a comedy, but I doubt that they'll be dumping Schooled this season when they have bigger fish to fry in the comedy department. I'm not certain it'll return, but it's looking quite likely at this point. It's a LIKELY RENEWAL.

Splitting Up Together: ABC's lowest-rated comedy wrapped up for the season last week with a 0.6. That's not really any worse than the rest of the block, but it probably isn't enough for an unowned second-season comedy to score another renewal. It remains a LIKELY CANCELLATION and will probably remain there for the rest of the season.
