Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

28. Mixed-ish

Network: ABC
Status: Canceled After Two Seasons

If done well, due to their low cost of production, single-camera sitcoms have the potential to be real money-makers. “Mixed-ish” isn’t just a single-cam sitcom, it’s also a spin-off to the widely popular primetime sitcom, “Black-Ish”, which one would think should have given it a leg up, instead of ‘mixed’ reviews.

It only took ABC two seasons of “Mixed-ish” to realize that, perhaps, two spin-offs from a parent show was too many. The show’s popularity never came close to its predecessor’s, although it did manage to draw more than 3 million viewers per episode. Sadly, that wasn’t enough to warrant a trilogy season.
