Runaway - The CW's First Failure

Tagged as:

Seems The CW is cancelling the show Runaway.

I only saw a minute or two here and there. Nothing that caught my eye. Not a show that'll be missed much.

yes let's bring back the worlds worst show (7th heaven) with about 2 characters but then cancell an acutal good show (everwood) for it. then lets cancell runaway (another good show) since apprantly the cw can only show gay shows. NICE.

I cannot believe they cancelled this show. I really enjoyed it. They could have at least let us see the rest of the season instead of getting us hooked and then droping it. Or at least warn us....

no, a lot of people aren't pissed. Less than 2 million.

I'm upset that Kidnapped is being cancelled mid-season. It's a far better show than Vanished. But it's all about ratings.

Money makes TV shows. Remember that.

I can't believe the show was canceled. I've waited the past couple of weeks to see if it would come back on, and to hear that it is canceled wasn't wonderful. The show had a good plot, and it's a shame it was canceled. The CW needs to rethink canceling it. Why does Americas Next Top Model need two nights of airing? Bring Runaway back.

ok first of all-you gave runaway no chance, second of all 7th heaven is so boring now without ruthie and simon that when i watch it i just can't wait for it to be over........cw-if you think that you are creating a better wb by taking away shows like everwood and related and replacing them with overshowed 7th heaven and other nonsense.....i think you need to think again! maybe you should think about what your fans want!

I agree with everyone... Runaway was an awsome show. IT had a good plot and it made me wait and wonder all week just so i could see what would happen when it came on. It was one of those good shows that stupid networks cancel because they are stupid. Anyways... if this supposidely new and improved network wants to cancel this very good show at least play us an ending whatever it may be don't leave us views hanging... Come on why doesn't the CW network people create a poll/petition to actually see how many people watch and like it?!?

Honestly, cancelling RUNAWAY and keeping America's Next Top Model is really something that I would want my children to watch. RUNAWAY seemed to have some really good storylines coming out of it yet we keep shows like ANTM on the air for what purpose?! Neilson ratings and THE CW are joking if they think that their profits will increase. I am still unsure why they got rid of the WB and made it the CW but heck if everyone keeps up what they are saying and really does stick to not watching the stupid station than maybe they will get the picture. RUNAWAY was a show that they could be proud of, ANTM is just a ploy for them to mock the American public! Watch out world here comes stupidity at large!

Why cancel a good show?
Runaway was getting really good......I was watching it over desperate housewives! 7th heaven blows! Take it off the air.....who could be possibly watching it. It is the most unrealistic show I have ever seen! I hate when shows are taken off the air and there is no explanation. I agree with the other comments....bring it back to monday....or even fridays....people will watch it!

I am so upset that runaway was cancelled. It was a good show. They spend all that money making it and then cancel b/c theres only like 1.7 milion ppl watching. How fucking stupid. It's their fault because they didn't advertise it enough and no one knew about it....jesus. I loved it! I couldn't wait and then they change the fucking date gee i wonder why no one is watching it on the second episode then they canel the third. How fucking stupid. Can't no one lke a show b/c it gets cancelled

omg! wat has CW come to. so i really like WB and UPN. my favorite shows back then were Veronica Mars, Supernatural, One Tree Hill, and 7th Heaven. so now like 7th Heaven is becoming the most boring show ever, n it used 2 to be so good, i can't stand watchin it anymore, so they might as well cancel 7th Heaven, i mean Matt... Simon... Mary.... are all gone... and Ruthie is useless.... Sam n David are like 6 yrs old... i mean wat good could they do to the show? RUNAWAY!!! it was really stupid n pointless the first episode.... but then as i watched the next few episodes.... they were really good... i really liked it.... and now they cancel it.... wat is wrong with these people? i am really good when i t comes to finding good tv shows to watch. i love television.... n i only watch the things that have a good plot and aren't pointless. gosh. to tell the truth. if CW wants a good number of viewers... these are the shows they should have: Runaway, One Tree Hill, America's Next Top Model, Veronica Mars, Smallville, The Game. simple as that, and maybe some of the other shows they already have, which i don't care much about. but maybe the should really think of a show with a really good plot. to the point: CW please think of what u r doing!!!!!

I was really pissed that they cancelled Runaway!!! Maybe not many people watched it because they, ie: the stupid CW network decided to change the date it aired. Not to mention there was not a lot of advertising for the show. I loved it and I am not refusing to watch any of the other horrible shows like 7th Heaven on your network!!! Then maybe you will just cancel the whole damn network. You SUCK!!! Bring it back to monday nights!!!
