Although it is a good show, I was very happy everything was solved, instead of having the investigation go on for years and years. However, that seemed to be quite a cliffhanger when Adam was found to be alive and wanting to get Ben for taking over his life. I would, now, like to see what happens next.
I thought there were too many convenient coincidences but did enjoy the show and was surprised to see it was canceled already. Along with my comedies The Grinder and Grandfathered. And Nashville. I’ll have less on the DVR at least.
Very disappointed The Family was canceled. I really liked it. ABC didn’t even give it a chance. Alot of unanswered questions. …it needs another season. ABC canceled other good shows too. ….what are they thinking?
Would like to see just one more episode of the Family. Just please don’t leave us hanging. Will be hesitant to watch anymore shows on ABC. Is there anyway or anywhere I can watch another episode?
I agree with you, why get interested in shows on ABC, this same thing happened last year, I was really interested in Resurrection and it went off just like The Family….left me hanging. Really disappointed in ABC…..
I wasn’t surprised to see that it was canceled!! But with that cliffhanger when Adam called at the end not a good way to end the show!! I would have liked for it to continue seeing that he was still alive!! To many good shows cancelled can’t believe they are getting rid of Castle and Nashville!! I watch 19 of the 24 shows that are being canceled this time around sad time for tv at least my DVR will get a break!!
Thanks a lot ABC for wasting my time and leaving me very irritated. You could at least have done a series finale. Plus it was a great show and well casted.
I was disappointed that The Family was cancelled. The cliffhanger left me wanting more. I wish these shows didn’t do that, leave you hanging. So many shows I have watched in the past for one season or more cancel a show with a huge cliffhanger. That sucks.
I am so disappointed ABC. You do this a lot now, canceling really good shows. I love The Family, it was intense. It was really a great show and also well casted. You should at least have season 2 to tell Adam’s story. You didn’t even give it a chance. Tremendously disappointed. I hope Netflix or Hulu picks it up.
I agree wholeheartedly! And it isn’t just ABC either! NBC did the same thing with Dracula a couple of years ago. Loved it & it was gone in a flash. I say why bother???
I’m really getting sick of how often ABC does this: cancelling a good show like The Family after only one or two seasons. They did the same thing with Resurrection, which I also really enjoyed. They leave you hanging with a ton of unanswered questions that you as the viewer have to somehow figure out a way to put to rest, only to reel you in again the following season with yet another show that viewers enjoy that they will ultimately cancel if the ratings aren’t up to their lofty standards. Hell, from what I’m given to understand, Nashville had quite the following and it got cancelled. Go figure!!! It makes me very hesitant to invest my time & energy in any more ABC programming.
Probably my absolute favourite new show of the season. I’m so upset they’ve cancelled it and left us hanging because Adam just turned up and the detective was murdered. I want to know what happens next!!! Great acting, a really interesting unique storyline and BOOM!! GONE!! I’m really, really upset we don’t get to see what happens! At least make another episode or two to tie up the loose ends. This is just so unfair to those of us that really got involved in the show. Give great new shows like this a chance for goodness sakes. I’m so very disappointed!!!
BRING IT BACK! you have a ready made story line, and absolutely EXCELLENT cast, and well-crafed story line (current and in the news issues). It was one of my favorite new shows. What is the reasoning for canceling it? We never get the “back-story.” personally i think some of the board of ABC
This was such a great show with so much potential. It never got a touch before it was cancelled. Season 1 finale cliffhanger definitely deserves to go for a season 2. Please please please! Edge of my seat!!!!
Are you joking? What are the morons who decide what shows stay on or are cancelled thinking? I am guessing, they are thinking about what next stupid reality show, or the next great drama series to let run for 1 or 2 seasons then cancel it!! I realize that it’s all in the numbers of people who are watching the show, but why not try different time slots,different days, something before just dropping such great shows?! There have been a handful of absolutely awesome dramas cancelled by ABC that have blown my mind, and make it much more apparent that I should not invest any time at all in 1 more new show because I know that the idiots in charge will just cancel it. I am really just about done with all network television and go totally to netflix, amazon prime,etc. I really don’t understand why they are so ridiculous in the decisions that are made, but 1 thing I can control is not wasting my time on watching this and all the other channels that make such stupid choices! !!!! RIDICULOUS!

May 17, 2016 at 07:24Yes there needs a second season to continue with the cliffhanger.
Jane says
May 17, 2016 at 10:17Exactly!!!! That Was Not a series finale. It left too many questions unanswered.

May 17, 2016 at 13:02Very few shows have cliffhangers these days. to have this cliffhanger and not be able to follow the storyline is most unfair

May 19, 2016 at 17:06Loved The Family. I am so tired of getting into new shows that get cancelled after one or two seasons. Why even bother watching TV anymore?

May 21, 2016 at 22:21I totally agree with that. it seem like anything I like they take away. So, I really try not to get to into a program.
