‘Kyle XY’ Reportedly Axed
Is the Bellybuttonless One a Goner?
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

Yeah it seems impossible to me that ABC Family really cancel Kyle XY one of their prime shows. It’s an amazing show with such a great and talented cast. I love the show so much. All true fans are deeply shocked. I call up all fans of the show come to our fan site kylexy.net to support our “Campaign for a New Network for Kyle XYâ€.
SAVE KYLE XY! SAVE KYLE XY! SAVE KYLE XY! SAVE KYLE XY!
I agree, nele. Fans need to start a “Save Kyle XY” campaign stat. Love the show and its cast.
