It’s an early trip to cancellation hell for Angel From Hell.
CBS has cancelled the comedy-drama after just five episodes. There will be no Angel From Hell Season 2.
As Deadline reports:
CBS is making a change on Thursday. Midseason series Angel From Hell, starring Jane Lynch and Maggie Lawson, is being cancelled effective immediately. It aired five episodes of its 13-episode order. Starting next week, the single-camera comedy will be replaced by multi-camera veteran 2 Broke Girls, which will return to Thursdays where it aired last season. (A Big Bang Theory repeat will fill Angel From Hell’s Thursday 9:30 PM slot this week.)
2 Broke Girls will make its Thursday season debut the following night, Feb. 18.
Angel From Hell, starring Lynch as a young woman’s (Lawson) caustic guarding angel, was originally slated to debut as part of CBS’ post-Thursday Night Football lineup in November but its launch was pushed to January. There had been rumors about creative issues on the high-concept series, which has drawn modest ratings for CBS’ Thursday comedy block standards, in the 1.3-1.4 rating range among adults 18-49 (live+same day).
The 2 Broke Girls move takes care of the remaining episodes of the fifth-season comedy.
RIP.

It being cancelled was an obvious conclusion. Sad though. The concept was awesome. Jane Lynch was a great choice as the lead. I think what the show missed was more edgier content. Making it a 10 or 11pm show and doing it more towards a R rating with harder comedy and more adult themes would have been a great thing.
They dumbed it down so much for primetime that it was just inane.

I thought it was better than most of the stuff on these days. It’s definitely a lot better than Two Broke Girls that they’re using to replace it. I don’t know what keeps that trash on the air.

No big loss, as far as I’m concerned…

That’s just stupid.

I tuned into this show expecting to hate it (I’m not a Jane Lynch fan) and found it surprisingly entertaining…more so than some of the other junk on TV. Sad to see it go!
