ICYMI: 18 to Life canceled


As it turns out, Monday's second season finale of CBC sitcom 18 to Life was the series' last episode ever.

The show was missing from the list of shows the Ceeb renewed earlier this year, though the network made no official statement about its cancellation.

But a statement from show creators Karen Troubetzkoy and Derek Schreyer posted on its Facebook page last week confirmed the end for the Stacey Farber-Michael Seater comedy:
We want to tell you personally how much we've loved writing for you and being part of this crazy little show. Here we are: only two episodes left... Get em while they're hot! We're very proud of this season and the work of our talented cast -- who often startled us with their hilarious ad-libs and uncanny chemistry.

While it's true "you don't know what you've got until it's gone" we're not gone... yet. We hope to see you again next week. And then in lazy summer reruns, perhaps on DVD, and of course we'll always have Netflix...

The endearing show had a bit of a rocky history. Originally a coproduction with ABC, the American network pulled out before it went to series.

It had a shot to draw American audiences last summer on the CW, but was pulled due to low ratings before its first full season aired.

Still, it drew decent ratings and reviews on the CBC, despite its cancellation.
