Cancellation Canteloupe strikes again!

 

It is that time again, the cancellation canteloupe has decided it is time for the bitch in Apartment 23 to depart from ABC's schedule. Let's look the history of the television comedy series which is only in its second season.

The series follows June, as she moves to New York City to pursue her dream job, until she finds out that it no longer exists and she ends up moving in with a con-artist party-girl named Chloe. The two don't get along at first; however, when Chloe's attempts at scamming June backfire, they end up forming an unlikely friendship.

The show debuted on April 11, 2012 as a mid-season replacement during the 2011-12 season. On May 11, 2012, ABC renewed the show for a second season.

Starring Dreama Walker, Kristen Ritter and James Van Der Beek who infamously played himself, the show's first season was a hilarious, laugh-filled romp through New York City with some truly out of this world characters.

When Season 2 debuted it felt like some of the bitchiness and shock value had left the series and all that remained was a pale shadow of the debut season. Viewers plummeted from 6.5 million to a mere 4 and has struggled to keep the same numbers since.

ABC have now pulled the show from the schedule indefinitely and replaced it with a double episode of Happy Endings.
