Wow. That was fast. Two episodes into the new fall season, and ABC’s new fall TV show, My Generation, has been canceled.
The show failed to connect with the targeted audience despite an extensive marketing campaign and a cast of extremely good looking people.
The ensemble drama was set in Texas and was formatted as a documentary following up on the adult lives of teens who had been interviewed and filmed while still in high school. Landmark events of the past 10 years, ranging from 9/11 to the Enron scandal, were featured prominently as key elements driving the personal stories.
Critics had trashed the show before it premiered and viewers failed to tune in. The show’s first outing garnered 5.2 million viewers, while last night’s second installment dropped to just four million.
