‘Kyle XY’ Reportedly Axed

Is the Bellybuttonless One a Goner?

Kyle XY

Today brings bad, sad news for fans of ABC Family’s science-fiction drama Kyle XY … if it’s true.

Entertainment Weekly is reporting the network has decided to cancel the series, currently just three episodes into its ten-episode third season, presumably because of declining ratings. *sigh* Wouldn’t it be great if we lived in a TV world where those kinds of numbers didn’t matter so much?

On the upside for ABC Family fans — although probably not so much for those who just like Kyle — the network has also reportedly renewed the urban drama Lincoln Heights for a fourth season of an as yet unannounced number of episodes. In addition, the college dramedy Greek is said to have a third season of twenty episodes on its plate.

Both entertaining shows really deserve the vote of confidence, so I guess two out of three is better than one out of three or none. And, while it’s still early days, I predict Kyle XY‘s Monday-night companion, the freshman hit The Secret Life of the American Teenager, has nothing to worry about in the renewal department, either.

That leaves just The Middleman to worry about, I believe. Fingers crossed ABC Family will have the guts to hang on to at least one sci-fi show.

Kyle XY currently airs Mondays on ABC Family at 9pm EST
