ABC has made the first cancellation of the fall season by axing new comedy Manhattan Love Story. Most recently, the struggling comedy pulled in a 0.7 in the demo, which is incredibly low for a network show (especially a young skewing comedy). Selfie will now air back-to-back new episodes in its place.
ABC has yet to make a decision about Selfie, but the fact that the show wasn’t cancelled at the same time as Manhattan Love Story is at least a small boost of confidence. Personally, I’ve grown to love Selfie, which has really found its legs rather quickly. I hope it doesn’t follow Trophy Wife into the abyss of shows that should have been given a better timeslot. I still believe that had Trophy Wife launched following Modern Family, it would have morphed into a hit.
