The freshman comedy will not return.
May 11, 2013
NBC has cancelled The New Normal after its first season. The Ryan Murphy-created comedy premiered last September and earned a full-season pickup from the network a month later. Ratings cooled over the latter half of the season, however, prompting NBC to decide not to continue with the show.

I'm totally bummed that this show is cancelled. I'm also disappointed at the amount of comments with homophobic tones. First off, there is hardly any gay media that is accessible or well made. Secondly, the in your face attitude with the kisses and affection are exactly what other shows do, only with straight couples. Ryan Murphy made a totally accessible gay couple with a lot of troubles gay people face these days. The reason why it was cancelled was because of the low ratings. I highly doubt NBC cares that much about "the gay agenda". I think the problem is the Nielsen Rating system. Many great shows have been cancelled due to ratings and its a real shame that this is how a lot of networks pick and choose their shows. This is why NBC is rated so low, they have very poor choosing when it comes to their schedule and their shows. I hope that The New Normal gets picked up by a different network.

Maybe the show was cancelled due to bad ratings because it really isn't the "new normal"? I think the title turned alot of folks off from watching it. Too much gay stuff on TV now. Stopped watching Glee because it was like over half the people on there were gay. Just got sick of the "in your face" make out sessions...

Congrats NBC. There is officially nothing worth watching on your network.

This is disappointing because this show was great, maybe if NBC didn't mess with the airing of the new episodes so much people would have kept watching. Everyone at NBC must be a homophobe now, Ryan Murphy should stick abc or FX.

Too many homophobes leaving comments. Get over yourselves already! Everyone knows that those who protest so much have the most to hide! What are you so afraid of? You can't TURN gay dumbos! And any comments about the president are just untoward and uncalled for. Have more respect!

I wanted to see it go a second season, so Tom Leykis could see the Producers sued for copyright infringement. His Company is called New Normal Network LLC. and you can listen to him 24/7 @

Glad to see this Limp Wrister go away, it was a piece of junk from the 1st episode (only one I wasted time on). Now there's another free time slot.
