Which do you guys want first — the good news or the bad news?
Okay, the good news it is: ABC Family has ordered additional seasons of Greek and Lincoln Heights.
Now the bad news: Kyle XY has been given his walking papers.
Although a rep for the cable net could not be reached for comment, sources confirm to me exclusively that Greek has been renewed for a 20-episode third season. Additionally, Lincoln Heights has been greenlit for a fourth season, although a specific episode count wasn’t immediately known.
Meanwhile, Kyle XY’s current 10-episode third season — which debuted on Jan. 12 — will be its last. I’m guessing the show’s dwindling viewership was to blame.
Eulogies on behalf of the Belly Button-less One are currently being accepted in the comments section below.
On the bright side, yay for Greek and that other show I’ve never seen!

Well, I’m happy for ‘Greek’. I’ve never even watched an episode of those two other shows…
WHAT?!?!?
Kyle XY is one of my favorite shows! What will I do?
I’ve never seen an original ABC Family series.
Nor do I ever pledge to.
Although my siblings like Kyle XY, so I’ll break the news.
I loved Kyle XY. It was one of those mystery shows that appealed to teens, but still managed to be realistic/ I will miss it. Also, what is Lincoln Heights about anyway?
So I take it The Middleman is never coming back? Because that news hurts much more than this news.
Sigh… RIP Kyle. Another decent show bites the dust due to network incompetence. Seriously, with all the available programming how exactly do they expect to retain interest in a show that airs for only 10-13 weeks a year? Guess what, people aren’t going to sit around pining for 40 weeks, we’re going to find something else to watch.
Of course it doesn’t help that the show has lost the feel it has the first two seasons. It now comes across as a cheesy sci-fi show without any of the heart or drama that made the show interesting.
No more Kyle XY?
I love that show.
That’s a shame. Kyle XY was the only show left on the network I watched. Since they seem to have no interest in anyone other than the teen demographic, it is their loss of advertising revenue.
And I agree with the previous poster, the only other show worth watching on this network, Middleman, probably will not see another season, which is sad because it was one of the best shows on TV.
We, the TV viewers, can only assume with all the recent changes and cancelations there is only money in schlock. Why else would the networks insist on dredging it up time and time again?
the bright side about kyle xy is that now Matt Dallas can now move on to something better than the lame-ass writing they gave him to work with on that doofy show…hey Matt–get your lazy agent to work getting you some action adventure movies lined up…you have way-way-way more talent & potential than what you have been given to work with so far…how about an “Indian Dallas” “Raiders of the Lost Something” type series?
I’ve never had interest in any of those… I’m still heartbroken over the cancellation of Beautiful People.
Stupid ABC family. Kyle XY is the only show i watch! I tried watching The Secret Life but that is horribly written and is basically a raunchy version of seventh heaven and all the kids aren’t related.
i’m going to miss Kyle XY so much!
That network is run by monkeys. They totally mismanaged a wonderful show and now they’ve killed it entirely.
WHAT!!!!
Seriously!!!!
Kyle XY was my favorite show and the only good show on that channel. Now i have no reason to watch that channel.
R.I.P Kyle
Loved Kyle XY, until this season when he became an overpossesive stalker boyfriend.
Dammit! I love KyleXY! I sure hope they don’t leave it on a cliffhanger! It deserves a proper ending!
AARRGGHH!! It’s Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone all over again. ABC just does not want to take chances on AWESOME shows.
YAY GREEK! Any news on The Middleman? It needs to come back. One of the best shows of 2008.
I agree with Nate. It seems they just ignored Middleman to death.
I can’t believe this!!! how could abc family cancel kyle xy with 1.5 millon and renew greek and the other one with less tan 1 millon of viewers???
what is up with the networks?? kyle is a good show with a family moral in it.so i guess today’s society cares more of 20-somethings pretending to be teens with nothing better to do than to fight over the same guys and fashion ideas.as for kyle, i hope its ended on a good level, no cliffhangers please!!!! its too good.but hey lincoln hieghts is still on, so hope it doesnt get axed next season for some other teen show.
I’d like to add my voice to everone already saying this – any news on Middleman??? I know the chances of it getting a second season are slim to none but they have yet to make an official announcement as far as I know.
Wow, very sad for Kyle XY.
But the numbers have not been good for the show. It’s even more sad that apparently, ABC Family viewers tend to leave older shows behind and stick to whatever is the network’s newer offerings.
See: Wildfire, now Kyle XY.
No more KYLE XY, what a shame, that was the only show i looked forwar to watching on ABC FAMILY.
I agree the middleman was one of the best shows on ABC Family. But I will miss Kyle because it was a fun show.
The cancellation of Kyle XY is a complete travesty! This was my favorite show ever and the only reason I even tuned into ABC Family. The dwindling viewership isn’t to blame, its the long hiatus forced on us by the network and a lack of promotion. This is the worst news ever. I can only hope we get some storyline closure by the end of this last season, if not, at least give us a Kyle XY season ending 2 hour movie. Please, ABC Family owes it to the show that put them on the map in the first place and was its highest rated series when it debuted….Kyle XY!
wth? kyle xy is an amazing show and trumps those other crappy shows that they’re pledging more of! >:O
I’d also prefer news on The Middleman. I’ve mostly given up hope, but I’ll admit seeing the partial headline to this article had my heart skipping a few beats none the less.
The Middleman FTW.
this is horrible!! how could they cancel kyle xy!?!!? its soo good! i love it
nooo!!!!!
Lincoln Heights is an awesome show and is the only Black drama on tv right now. So glad it’s coming back!!
I need my Middleman!
The Middleman is fun, smart and quirky…all the stuff I love in my entertainment. I even went so far as to get all the episodes off iTunes.
Bring us more of The Middleman!!
