Can ABC Family’s Huge Series Be Saved?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, ABC, Cable, Cancellations, Video


ABC Family made a bold move last summer when they introduced Huge, a series revolving around the plus-sized attendees of a fat camp. Hairspray’s Nikki Blonsky was a dynamic part of the ensemble cast, which also featured Hayley Hasselhoff.

The show was well-received by critics and fans, but inexplicably the order was recently given for Huge’s cancellation. Blonsky said the news caught her “off guard. We were so thrilled with the reviews we got."

ABC Cancels My Generation

My Generation

It only took two episodes to bring down FOX’s Lone Star. It took that same number to silence ABC’s My Generation as well.

After a double dose of disappointing numbers, the network made a choice to stop the bleeding. The show, which debuted to 5.2 million (1.6/5 in 18-49) in Week 1, fell even further in Week 2 (3.9 million, 1.1/3).

Although Generation has been pulled immediately from the schedule, there are chances the four remaining episodes could air sometime in the future and/or online.

It’s not known yet what will fill the void at 8:00 on Thursdays.

Zachary Quinto

Although he has a bright future ahead of him in the Star Trek movie franchise, is disappointed about one movie won’t be able to make.

Quinto, who rose to fame as Sylar in NBC’s former hit Heroes, admits he’s disappointed the series won’t be allowed one final chapter.

“It’s disappointing that there was such a lack of resolution,” Zachary told EW. “But unfortunately that’s just the nature of network television….Nothing really surprises me in terms of network and studio bureaucracy. It’s the way it goes.

“If it was in their best interest I’m sure they would have done it. And for whatever reason, they didn’t think it was. So that’s a bummer. But we have to just accept it and move on,” Quinto said.
