ABC Pulls ‘Kyle XY’

Jul 9, 2007  •  Post A Comment

ABC has yanked repurposed episodes of sister network ABC Family’s “Kyle XY.”
The second season of ABC Family sci-fi drama has been repurposed four times on ABC, averaging a 0.8 rating among adults 18 to 49. The network tried the drama first at 8 p.m., then at 9 p.m., yet “Kyle” was one of the lowest-rated shows of the night.
ABC aired the entire first season of the show last summer and it averaged a 1.3 rating.
This Friday ABC will air two “George Lopez” repeats in the 8 p.m. slot, leading into the premiere of another ABC Family series, the scripted fraternity drama “Greek.” On the following Friday, ABC will premiere its Jimmy Kimmel-hosted game show “Set For Life,” where contestants compete to win a monthly paycheck for one to forty years.
“Kyle XY” will continue to air as scheduled on ABC Family.
ABC had no comment.

  1. Well as long as it is still airing on ABC Family. If they pulled the show altogether I might actually have to firebomb ABC Studios.

  2. This sucks! That means the HDTV versions won’t air. This is the kind of programming i bought an HDTV for. Idiotic move, ABC!

  3. Wah, wah, wah, Wayne. Hasn’t anyone told you that TV is a business and that they can’t program for the few of you who own HDTV sets. The show bombed on broadcast TV pure and simple. Deal with it and get a life.

  4. This is really disappointing! Kyle XY was one of our family’s favorite shows. Unfortunately we don’t get ABC Family, and we can’t watch the shows on the Internet in Canada.
    Too bad.

  5. You can watch the shows on the internet from Canada. Just use an anonymous USA-based proxy server to surf with your web browser, and ABC’s site will think you’re in America and let you watch.

  6. I can’t believe they did this again. One show that is really worth watching and they put it in the worst time slots possible and kill the thing. Happened with Firefly on FOX, too. Then again, maybe I’m one of the only scifi fans left in the world. I would think the SciFi Channel’s popularity would say I’m not, and based on that I’d guess the numbers these shows are “supposed” to pull are all false.
    I’m bummed because I don’t have cable at the moment and thus have missed all of the second season except for two out of order eps on ABC. There goes another good show. The Execs just LOVE to kill things they don’t understand. Look at the original Star Trek. 😉

  7. Pretty much the only good reason to even turn the TV on this summer. I’ve never seen so many junk shows on during one time period.

  8. Last year I watched kyle xy,and got my niece and nephew interested. Now you put on geogre lopez reruns. Is it about pleasing the audience or saving money during the summer? How many reality shows and contest programing can one watch? Put Kyle XY back where it belongs on television where Canadians can watch it or your ratting will go down even more!

  10. Hey all,
    Ever hear of iTunes? You can log on, download full episodes of KyleXY and watch them at your leisure.
    As much as KyleXY really sucks this year so far, ANYTHING is better than watching that sweaty, cracked out, racist George Lopez.

  11. This sucks
    I don’t have cable TV, ABC Family, or high speed internet.
    Now I’ll have to wait for season 2 to come out on DVD and have to buy it just to watch.
    Thanks for screwing me over ABC. I thought the CW was the only network that pulls crap like this…guess I was wrong.

  12. God… wtf is wrong with people? Kyle XY has got to be one of the best shows on TV since 24. Why does ABC think otherwise?

  13. I can’t understand the lack of brain cells executives have when it comes to evaluating the success of a show. I’m not into Broadcasting, I work 8 to 5 five days a week as most do, do you really feel putting this wonderful show on a friday night, when that night is when most of us go out with friends or loved ones. How can you honestly feel you gave the show a fair shot. Shame on you ABC. You exectives are pathetic when it comes to supporting quality entertainment. Screw your ridiculous ratings. And what has happened to the concept of a FULL SEASON? DO YOU HONESTLY THINK SEEING 4 NEW EPISODES, THEN RERUNS OR NO SHOW AT ALL AND THEN RETURN WITH 10 NEW SHOWS MAKES A SEASON? GET REAL!!

  14. I’ve been waiting for Kyle Xy to come back and find out he’s gone. Best show on ABC Family. I can’t imagine not being able to watch it. All my family and friends were very much in to this show. What are you thinking ABC Family??? Please regroup and bring Kyle Xy back.
