ABC has canceled its fantastic comedy 'Cougar Town' starring Courteney Cox and Busy Phillips.'Cougar Town' was a pretty good hit for ABC, it's series premiere was watched by only 11 million viewers. Since its premiere in 2009 ABC has shuffled it around and pretty much garanteed its downfall. In early 2011 ABC shelved the second season and aired the now canceled 'Mr. Sunshine.' It came back in April 2011 the series dropped in viewership from seven million to five million.
In mid 2011 ABC announced its 2011/12 TV season and 'Cougar Town' was no where to be found. It was later moved to mid-season, where the third season finally aired in February 2012. The series has dropped down to four million viewers and has a lead-in 'Last Man Standing' which does not go well with it at all.
