Why did they cancel this show?


I thought season 4 was amazing....every season her music is always completely different from the last. It was a refreshing story line...I don't understand why they would cancel the show....Does anyone know the official reasons why.

Do you think they would ever create a tv movie or something to complete the story..that would be awesome!

I've decided not to lose hope when tv shows end, ever since I found out they are bringing Alias back.

Because unless you're Degrassi, you don't last more than four seasons on the network.

show arent canceled because of how good they are or arent.
if a show has low ratings (number of viewers) then its canceled.
if it has good ratings it goes on another season.

O_O well that long hiatus between seasons 3 & 4 kind of put the nail in the coffin

The N and Epitome shared funding for the show.

The N decided to pull the plus in order to put in Queen Bees and Student Body. They were trying to change their image and go in a new direction. Several of their other shows got canceled around that time as well.

Epitome couldn't afford the whole thing (or maybe they didn't want the whole thing), so it basically was axed.

It's a shame. I wish the N had stuck with it one more season, but you could tell that they were trying so hard to get rid of it. They put the entire season out in only a few weeks over the summer.

I remember the rage it caused when people realized how the N was trying to get it out of the way. =/

TeenNick or the-n as it was back then. they didn't want it anymore and since epitome relied on funding from them, it was canceled.
