From the Hollywood Reporter: ABC Family is not moving forward with Bunheads.From Gilmore Girls' Amy Sherman-Palladino, the critically lauded one-hour ballet drama starring Broadway veteran Sutton Foster had wrapped up its 18-episode first season in February. The cable network opted to wait until after its freshman series premiered to make decisions on its bubble series, which included Bunheads and The Lying Game. There had been conflicting reports earlier this year regarding Bunheads' fate.
"Bunheads is a wonderful series that we are very proud to have aired," an ABC Family spokesperson said Monday. "The series had amazing storytelling, the most talented cast and a passionate and loyal fan base. Recognizing all of this, we took extra time to try and find ways to bring the series back for another season, but in the end it simply wasn’t possible. We wish the cast and crew the best in their future endeavors."

Bunheads is a show about a ballet school in a small town. The cast was good, the writing was quite good and the ratings were not that bad, especially for ABC Family.
Even though Bunheads probably was meant mostly for women and kids, I enjoyed it because of the subtle humor and it reminded me when my daughter was in dance. It also reminds me of life in a small town where everyone knows each other, small town politics and the different cliques in small towns.
Obviously, ABC Family has no time for quality shows but maybe another network might pick them up.
This bit here is typical of Bunheads and it is absolutely hilarious and in some of the areas of the Country, the truth:
Maybe that's why they got canceled- lampooning liberals.
