Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

20. American Housewife

Network: ABC
Status: Canceled After Five Seasons

When most television series get their pink slips from their networks, the production team, usually, has enough time to put together, at least, a somewhat acceptable ending, but that’s not always the case. Some programs are cut loose with little to no warning, and many loose ends are left untied.

Written and created by Sarah Dunn, “American Housewife” had a regular time slot on ABC and a loyal fanbase of more than 4 million viewers per episode for 5 seasons, then, without any warning, and to the chagrin of everyone involved in the production, the show was canceled without the cast or the fans getting the closure they desired.
