Because standard of living and quality of life are broad, but also slightly ambiguous terms, there is no universally agreed-upon technique for measuring them. It is closely related to (and often used interchangeably with) quality of life, which is generally understood to include the same measures of prosperity as standard of living, but also incorporate physical and mental health and wellness. " Characters like Rainbow Johnson and big stars like Allison Tolman and Cobie Smulders will be able to not only cut through the clutter with these shows, but reclaim our dominance with women and from there the broadest possible audience," Burke said.Standard of living refers to the level of wealth, comfort, necessities, and material goods available to a particular geographic area. The prequel spinoff centers on a younger version of Tracee Ellis Ross' "Black-ish" character, Rainbow Johnson. "Mixed-ish," which takes place in the 1980s, makes three.īurke said the network was focusing on broadly appealing series with strong female point-of-views, which may have made "Mixed-ish" more attractive to the network.
The network already has two other, promising period-sitcoms: "The Goldbergs," set in the 1980s, and "Schooled," set in the 1990s. "The Kids Are Alright" may have been too similar in format to other ABC shows. It appears the network just couldn't find a good place for "The Kids Are Alright" in its fall lineup that would help grow the show, as Burke said of another canceled drama, "Whiskey Cavalier." She did the same with "The Goldbergs" and its spinoff "Schooled" on Wednesdays. Burke rearranged the network's fall primetime schedule in the hopes of creating a "weekly comedy event" out of the new "Black-ish" spinoff, "Mixed-ish" and "Black-ish," which are airing back-to-back in the 9 p.m. There were other reasons "The Kids Are Alright" didn't have a future at ABC. Overall viewership also oscillated, falling more than 50% from the start of the season by the show's May 7th airing - a few days before the cancelation was announced.
But ratings stumbled during the season, and the show fell out of the 10 highest-rated ABC series with that audience demographic. The series started off strong, making the one of the highest-rated debuts for a comedy series last fall among the coveted 18-49-year-old crowd. While ABC has not said why the series, about a big family living in the suburbs of Los Angeles, was cancelled, the show didn't fit neatly into the broader plans for ABC's schedule that were laid out by ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke this week.įor starters, "The Kids Are Alright" wasn't an obvious hit. The TV show from "Last Man Standing" creator Tim Doyle airs its final episode on May 21. After one season, fans will have to say farewell next week to the nostalgic, 1970s-set ABC sitcom, "The Kids Are Alright," which was well-received by critics and viewers alike.
