ABC’s Trophy Wife Cancelled


ABC has cancelled Trophy Wife along with the comedies SuburgatoryMixology and The Neighbors. If you read my post last fall, Why Aren’t You Watching Trophy Wife?, who know how sad I am about this. This show was really funny. The best part was the character of Burt played by the Albert Tsai. He was so wonderful. In scenes with bigger stars he was a scene stealer on many occasions.

It’s definitely not a surprise that it got canceled. After series low 0.7 rating it got this past Tuesday, I knew it was done. It never got its fair shake at all. It was placed on Tuesday night in the 9 pm hour with The Goldbergs and no lead in. How did ABC expect it to survive? I will continue to carry on that if they had put The Goldbergs and Trophy Wife on Wednesday night with The Middle and Modern Family, those shows would have done way better in the ratings than they did.

Oh well, such are the ways of network television. I’ll just look forward to the rest of the unaired Trophy Wife episodes and to the future projects of all the cast members of this lovely show.

ABC had their upfront presentation this afternoon and unveiled their 2013-2014 schedule. The network did not have any freshman hits last year and hopes that with these 13 new series being picked up that changes. The new series that were picked up are Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, The Goldbergs, Trophy Wife, Lucky 7, Back In The Game, Super Fun Night, Mixology, Mind Games, Toy Story of Terror, The Quest, Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, Resurrection and Betrayal. I mentioned in my previous upfronts post that I had to play ABC exec for a class group project. We did ok. Out of the 13 shows that ABC picked up we got 6 correct but we were correct on all the cancellations so yay. Check out the new schedule below.
