The CW Cancels Aliens in America

The CW has canceled the low-performing freshman comedy series Aliens in America, according to TV Guide.  Despite solid reviews from critics, the series just never managed to find a consistent audience from TV viewers, often dropping below 1 million viewers.  There remains just one episode left to be aired.  Through 17 original episodes, the show has averaged 1.60M viewers and a 0.6/2 rating/share among adults.

Though it was never a ratings getter for the network, the move to Sunday nights compeletly killed it.  It went from averaging 1.99 million viewers and a 0.8/2 rating/share among adults 18-49 in its original Monday timeslot to 1.04 million viewers (-950,000/-48%) and a 0.4/1 rating/share among adults 18-49 (-50%) in its current Sunday timeslot.
