On August 8, 2009, ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson announced that Surviving Suburbia, along with The Goode Family, had officially been cancelled due to low ratings.
[2][3] A half-hour comedy dubbed as a male version of Roseanne, Surviving Suburbia focused on a father named Steve Patterson (Bob Saget), his wife Anne (Cynthia Stevenson), and their two children, Henry and Courtney.
The Pattersons lead ordinary, uneventful lives until their new next-door neighbors begin causing several problems, turning their suburban lifestyle upside-down.
In 2008, The CW announced plans to air the comedy as part of their Sunday night programming block with Media Rights Capital or MRC.
After only a few weeks the CW pulled the entire block and announced that the status of Suburbia's air date was TBA.
