Netflix has opted not to order second seasons of multi-camera family sitcoms Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love and The Big Show Show.

Hard to do a season 2 when Randy Orton killed your main star

In seriousness, this was doomed from the beginning. I'm shocked it even happened at all tbh.

The Big "canceled" Show

[I'm Team Bayley and Indi]

at least he's still got his strip mall...

Evidently they weren’t enough to warrant a second season, but I’d be intrigued to know the viewing numbers. I’d imagine they were pretty awful. I watched one episode and that was enough to know it wasn’t going to last. It wasn’t actively bad, but I just couldn’t see who it would appeal to, especially on a streaming service like Netflix.

Lasted as long as his face turn

That's pretty bad. I imagine COVID didn't help, since it probably made recording more less practical, but Netflix used to give most things at least a second season. Then again, maybe that's no longer the case if they decided it was just throwing good money after bad.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

No! It can't be true! I was only just thinking about maybe getting around to adding it to My List and then never watching it!

Netflix shows tend to live 2-3 seasons, so (barring the COVID reason) it's GOTTA be bad if it only lives 1.

Never gave this a shot - I'm barely ever on Netflix anymore since it was folded into my regular Comcast subscription - but it was a nice idea.

I'm thinking Covid could be part of it, Netflix cancelled a few shows a couple of weeks citing Covid as the reason, one of them - I'm Not Okay With This, had seemed to get some decent attention (and was apparently due to start filming soon)

[Killah Ray]

It was decent for what it was which was a family sit com. Considering they don't make many of those anymore, it kinda sucks that this was canceled.

Should have been The Big Big Show Show, that was it's problem.

[Susan "Poison" Candy]

His tv show went the way of his strip mall

[Instant Classic]

Only made it through one episode but I will say if I was a kid again I’d love the show.

[Moppy]

Surely not?! It was so critically acclaimed.

[Deleted]

The Demo Killer strikes again!

I thought it was alright, kinda a throwback to TGIF shows. If theres only one episode checking out its the wrestling cruise episode with Mick Foley, Mark Henry, and Rikishi

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

The show was aight, IMO. Gave me more laughs than I expected.

[Deleted]

That’s weird. It seemed like the show was kind of a hit TBH. I haven’t gotten around to watching it yet, but it seemed like it was pretty high in the viewership rankings.

Netflix is canceling a lot of shit lately.

The days of Netflix continuously renewing things is long over and they have canceled much much better shows than this after one season (thinking of Tuca and Bertie)
