you suck abc
I looked forward to that show! Practically did my schedule around it and now it is over. Never watching ABC again.
i hope someone else picks up the tv series
Here’s an idea, ABC. Just stop making shows altogether if you can’t commit to any of them. This constant turnover of one season shows is just ridiculous. It can’t be economical or efficient. Just what is the point of you at the moment?
…..EXACTLY – but HEY, that’s just your TYPICAL Diznee/ Katzenberg / Eisner S.O.P: the Mouse GIVETH, and the Mouse taketh AWAY 🙁
Really too bad. This is a great show. Agree with Baz. ABC: Just keep vomiting out the reality crap.
ABC says that even though they didn’t give Emergence more than the original 13 episodes, it has not yet been canceled.
Of course. Finally something good to watch and it gets cancelled. Grrrrrr!
The one decent show you guys made this year and you cancel it before the first season is even done! Now I understand binging on past show series. I’m not investing anymore of my time on new dramas!
The very reason any of these shows may have less than stellar viewership the first year is exactly because of this crap.
I stupidly started watching this show and it was very good.
I almost never watch ANY new shows anymore until the 3rd season starts, then I watch the first two years a show a day and by that time season 3 is over and I watch that.
Simply not worth watching any network TV shows anymore, hell what I’ve been watching mostly the past year are all really old shows.
MASH, Fringe, X-Files, Murphy Brown while I am waiting to get some new shows that make it past their 3rd season.
I think ALL writers should all band together and demand a guaranteed 2 year contract with another guarantee of 2 more years if the ratings by the end of year two are beyond whatever point.
That virtually gurantees 4 years for any halfway decent show.
ABC, THIS is why you are in the toilet, but cable (even BASIC Cable) is doing so well. Your greed for immediate gratification will bury you. The reason why short seasons are doing so well on CABLE is because the creators have more to say than the Corporate greedmongers want to allow. Ignorant fools.
What?? You cancelled Emergence!! Why? It is a very good storyline, well written, and an excellent cast. ABC you are going to lose viewers!
I’ll never tune in ABC again. Ever.
ABC should sign off period.
Alavista to bad management.
GH getting knock off over the witch Hunt on Trump!
Disney Hates Trump the Corporate little god of ABC.
Now the Final stab in the back of Allison Tolman, she was doing awesome and I bet this series Emergence would have been a 3 to 4 season hit.
I bet Manifest will be dumped soon.
I hate ABC!
Lunitics the execs should be selling hotdogs off a sidewalk vending cart.
Allison Tolman is awesome!
GH must get on regular programming no one is happy!
Awful your promoting the Trumped up Empeachment crud.
got to the end of season 1 and very depressed there is no season 2, wow, just wow!
ABC shame on you for not letting this little gem of a show… continue. I don’t watch new shows anymore as a rule till I see that they have at least been picked up for a 2nd Season, then I will invest my time watching the 1st season to see if it was my cup of tea. However, I liked the promos showed of Emergence in the summer and tuned in, loved what I was seeing and got hooked only to find out tonight that you have already cancelled this gem of a show. Shame on you, and shame of me for being sucked in. Fool me once, your new little shows for the 2020 – 2021 season already not interested in. Nothing is given a chance anymore, and I for one won’t be giving you one anymore either.
Watched the season finale tonight, and just learned it was the series finale.Bummer! I watched every episode and enjoyed it a lot, disappointed that the story will not continue.
BRING IT BACK !!!!!!
MORE “…PLEASE!!!!Emergence”
Very typical of networks anymore…if its not moronic reality tv, it gets cancelled!! BRING THIS BACK!!!
Echo everyone’s opinion, Great show it’s only on for over half an hour is it so hard to work that in to your schedule, and also finished as though there could be another episode never mind another season.
Hope they change their mind and bring it back for another season.
You have saddened a disabled veteran. This was one of the few shows with a good plot, likable characters good acting. This show should definitely be brought back! I am so disappointed in this decision.
It was always being postponed, which isn’t a good sign. I see now it was postponed/pre-empted for 2 episodes in a row, so I look it up to see if it was cancelled, n apparently it is. Terrible. It was such a good show, I was always looking forward to the next episode n could hardly wait, one of the few good ones that are left. So I echo the sentiments of the commentators. Disappointing too for the actors who were enjoying it a lot. I hope they’ll do a finale, instead of leaving us dangling.
Emergence AND Bless This Mess in the same year…..screw you ABC
This is really ashamed
I have no idea why I started watching a ABC program. They always cancel anything that’s any good. Happens quite often. Especially now when more people are using on demand and staying home
I guess I have to stick with other networks. Tired of getting teased by ABC.
