The kids are no longer alright: after just one season, ABC have pulled the plot on this family sitcom, which starred The Walking Dead's Michael Cudlitz and The West Wing's Mary McCormack as parents raising an Irish Catholic family of eight sons in the 1970s.

The series received solid reviews, and its ratings weren't terrible by ABC's standards, with the show roughly in the middle of the pack in that regard, so it is a slight surprise to see it get cancelled, but the network have been fairly ruthless this year.
