AceShowbiz - And so the evaluation begins. ABC's "Manhattan Love Story" has become the first new series of the fall to be canceled. The network made the decision on Friday, October 24 after airing only four episodes of the new comedy.
To fill the 8:30 P.M. slot on the Tuesday line-up, ABC will now air two original episodes of another new comedy, "Selfie", back-to-back starting November 4. The romantic sitcom starring Karen Gillan and John Cho has been airing Tuesdays at 8 P.M. since its September 30 debut and has been a better performer than "Manhattan Love Story".
The decision to pull "Manhattan Love Story" was a no-brainer. The show was never a rating hit, with the most recent episode hitting a new low (2.6 million viewers and a 0.7 rating among adults 18-49).
