I can't believe this show got cancelled...

...yet Degrassi, after 13 seasons, and shows like The Big Bang Theory (which has been in steady decline since season 4) get renewed. The L.A. Complex was SUCH a good show.

Agreed.

This show was on the mark in so many ways. It had great characters, great plots, interesting twists, good pacing, emotional beats, great comedy, enjoyable tone, solid casting, and it steered comfortably between the public desire for reality television while still remaining honest as scripted television; ...it SHOULD have been a break out success. Its a tragedy that it went by almost entirely unnoticed. It was innovative, provocative, and always entertaining.

It was too good to fail, there was so many things that it did right. I still don't understand what happened.

It really is unfortunate. I discovered it on Netflix though, and marathoned through both seasons. Which didn't take long. :( It seems that a lot more people have discovered it this way too. So hopefully it will be remembered well.

it was a great show, a realistic portrait of hollywood in my eyes.

its cancellation may have something to do with it being canadian or maybe gay plot threw some people off.

There was a time were I felt the same, but over the last few years a whole lot of shows that I think should've been syndication for at least 5 Seasons got cancelled without warning...V, The Event...

I can....season 1 was amazing, then train wreck that is season 2 happened. They took away the best parts that made season 1 so good. this show sucked in the end. good riddance.

This show was amazing, but I think maybe it suffered by being on the CW. The CW is in my opinion is like the 4th network to always cancel great shows without giving them a chance. The 1st network being ABC, then ABC family and 3rd CBS (The Carrie Diaries, TBL: the beautiful life, The tomorrow People, The Reboot of Melrose Place, star-crossed,ect) are just some CW shows that got the ax too quickly.
