12 TV Shows In Serious Danger Of Cancellation In 2020
2. American Housewife
With such successes as Modern Family, Fresh off the Boat, and Black-ish, ABC thought American Housewife would fit nicely into its lineup. This show centers around Katie Otto, her family, and their lives as mere renters in the tony Westport, Connecticut. What could have been another heightened, over-the-top sitcom has more or less flopped with its target audience.
Though Katie Mixon, who plays Katie Otto, has been praised for her work on the show, critics have found that enduring an episode is a form of drudgery. It would seem that audiences have agreed. Despite ratings lower than most of the shows on this list, American Housewife is on its fourth season.
It is unclear why ABC is clinging to this dud, but it’s always nice to see a network display any amount of loyalty. However, it is likely that their good will has run out and American Housewife will not see another season.
