ABC will not continue its paranormal mystery series.
May 11, 2012
ABC has cancelled freshman thriller The River after one season. The show premiered earlier this year as a mid-season replacement, airing a short 8-episode first season between February 7 and March 20. Unfortunately the series struggled ratings-wise, not garnering enough viewers for the network to continue the story next season.

Actually surprising, cancelling this show! I thought for sure it had legs especially with studio execs today who haven't been able to cook up 1 decent original thought. Instead we're inundated with shows like Dancing with the Stars, Biggest Loser, etc that are litrally rip offs of the late 70's shows like Circus with the Stars, Battle of the Network Stars.

This show was kooky, but then I got into it and was looking forward to their new adventures in the second season. I'm very disappointed.

Wait, I had seen only one commercial for this show and now it's cancelled. Lol! They must not have advertised this very well.

How can shows like this and Missing get not-so-good ratings when total crap like Dancing With The Stars rides on for season after season?

I really liked this show.. what's going to happen with the Dad, the son, the blonde that has the secret... the lil latin girl that talks to the dead, like her mom did/... W.T.H.!!

Another mistake cancelling this show. I don't understand... Give it a chance. Please reconsider!

For once there was something good to watch other than reality TV... and you blew it. Nothing left for the intelligent community to watch.

Networks leave very little for conservative people to watch. Stupid reality tv, immature programs with more sex and inuendoes than common clean good sense. Commercials are just as bad. So very sad. If I am going to watch reality tv then let me watch REALITY TV (NEWS). Most everything on tv is garbage, pollution and a waste of good time. Looking at the programs left to watch and those cancelled. I have decided to forget all of you ignorant tv execs and your dumb ass programs. You all have sick minds.

No surprise!!! ABC can't keep viewers because they won't keep any shows. It's sad the network is losing viewers because no one wants to start watching a show that they know won't be kept. ABC is getting a rep for that and I see why. I'm they with ABC as well as the others talking it. I think Missing was the last draw to me. Good bye ABC!!!!
