Ratings are really low...


Def getting canceled.

'Mystery Girls' is consistently losing half of the lead-in audience established by 'Young & Hungry'. Vicky is just so unlikable now I am surprised this show even made it to pilot.

I really hope that the shoe does get better eventually.

While I do agree that it is nice to see Jeannie Garth and tori spelling together again but I do agree the show is really bad.

Really bad?! This show sucks! However, I like things that are a complete train wreck so I will keep watching. Also Jennie Garth is still stunning.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

This article gives a pretty good summary of the ratings for 'MG'. The general consensus is that viewers are switching channels when 'Young & Hungry' ends.

I don't think it was so much about the show being bad as it was about the fact that it catered to an older audience than what ABC Family typically caters to. I get the impression that it was for adults in their 30s and 40s, while the audience for Young & Hungry would have mostly been younger and not interested in those older stars of the 1990s.

I think this was a show that would have been better suited to TV Land or to the Pop Network (a.k.a. the former TV Guide channel).

Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!
