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.

disappointed yet again *sigh*, I liked the river, it was a show that my hubby and i could watch together. We don't watch reality tv shows or any of that crap, but thats the **** that stays on the air..It's TOO BAD REALLY :(

I think the way the show ended gives it a perfect ending. I loved how the river changed to keep them in. If it was cancelled or renewed, it tied up nicely. Unlike Alcatraz... no ending at all. That sucks.

Maybe it was slow at times, but it was a quality tv show, great product values, thrilling. Not enough time to let the people get it. If it was on HBO it would still be on.

The premise was promising, but the execution deserved an execution. Slow, indulgent acting, and the micro strobe special effects shots; more annoying than entertaining. I wanted to be a fan, but agree with the network on this one.

I agree with most of you that shows don't get a proper chance. But this show didn't deserve it. It tried to exploit the already overblown "found footage" genre into an uninteresting journey down a river. Here is your ending. They run out of gas and die of starvation.

Again, cancel another show that kept you are your toes. I guess the massed like DUMB TV. I'm giving up on ABC.

Yet again....another new show I like....cancelled. I am officially giving up on network TV. Not worth my time when I can't count on anything but idiotic, sophomoric comedies or reality shows being renewed.

Typical pandering to the idiot masses. Far too many American idiots that wont watch something unless it has a fkin laugh track.
