Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

23. Call Your Mother

Network: ABC
Status: Canceled After One Season

Among the projects that were part of executive producer and writer Kari Lizer’s deal when she signed on with Sony, was the multi-camera sitcom, “Call Your Mother”, which made its television broadcast debut in January of 2021. Unfortunately, “Call Your Mother” was unable to capture the glory of Lizer’s last big hit, “The New Adventures of Old Christine” (2006-2010).

Due to untimely breaks in the production’s schedule, and longer breaks between episode air dates, the show was not able to gain the following that producers initially thought it would be able to get, and “Call Your Mother” subsequently became another of ABC’s lone-season wonders.
