This will come as a shock to the show's fans - both of you - but ABC has canceled the Fire Island-based reality show One Ocean View after only two episodes.
This caps off an odd summer for ABC, which saw several other summer shows canceled quickly: The One, Master of Champions, and How To Get The Guy. Will this make the networks smarten up about the glut of reality shows? Of course not, because other reality shows do really well, so get ready for even more.
The show will be replaced for the rest of the summer by repeats of Supernanny.

I am so sick of ABC if your gonna put on a show let it finish the season at least. I'm tired of wasting my time on a show that they cancel half way thru!! How about this. I just stop watching ABC since they can't get their act together!!! They always seem to pull the plug too quickly. They definetly have done it in the past w/ some great shows like "My so called life" and "Relativity" . ABC YOU SUCK!!!!

I am so disappointed! I had just been telling all of my friends what a great show it was; most of them had never heard of it! They were all planning to watch tonight. If you decide to make a DVD version of the show, please let me know, so that I may spread the word once again. I am anxious to see what happened next!

Was looking forward to tonights show, they could have at least finished it for the summer, so we could see how things worked out for the couples that were hooking up. Would have been much better than reruns of Supernanny.

So bummed... I loved loved loved One Ocean View. I just got my roommate into it after DVRing it the last 2 weeks. I think ABC had a hit if they would have just let it run a little longer than 2 weeks. It hadnt reached the word of mouth yet, what did thay expect, there wasnt much advertising for it. Watching the show made me really want to be one of those young professionals. I am on that route right now, but not quite there; it made me appreciate the east coast and the vacations they are accostumed to. On the West coast we are all beaches and each going attitudes, so different from the East coast and I would have LOVED to see how everything were to pan out!!!
Signed,
disappointed viewer!!!

I can't believe that this show was canceled and replace with repeats of Super Nanny. I loved that show... Super Nanny was better.... I don't think so. What is wrong with you TV Executives... How can you cancel a show after 2 episodes and replace it with a lousy repeat show. Do you really think more people are going to watch the repeats? ABC... poor choice of programming... who agrees?

I can't believe it was cancelled!!! Right in the middle of the show. Nobody waits all day to watch SuperNanny. We waited all day for this episode, so disappointing. NO MORE, next time we will believe the TV Guide when it says 2 hours of SuperNanny re-runs, we will believe it. Such a waste of ABC air time. They would of had much more of an audience with One Ocean View, half our town watches or did watch it! SHOCKED----Sandra and Samantha.

I am soooo upset right now. I really really liked the show. Now by no means was it Survivor or Amazing Race, but it was really good. I would like to have been able to see it till the end. Could it possibly be headed to Fox Reality TV?

I am not impressed with this. This show was great and I think they need to reconsider. I couldn't believe when supernanny was on last night!

When this show started, for the first time in my life I felt that I had something to live for. I could relate so well with everyone on the show, especially Usman - for I, too, believe that I get better looking every day of my life. Every Monday, just before the show started, I would go into a deep trance to prepare myself for what would lay ahead in the next hour. I would pray for maximum Usmanism. Usman makes my world go round. After the show, I would re-enact the whole hour with my buddies, with me being Usman, of course. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ABC release the remaining episodes so that I can see what becomes of my dear Usman and his wildly good looks.

Please bring this show back. It makes no sense to not even give a show the chance to catch on. You gotta give people a chance to talk to their people and so on! There have to be more episodes that have been filmed so why not show them and let us have some closure!!! I don't know who's running things around there, but there are bad, hasty decisions flying around like crazy.

This show was lame. I'd rather watch repeats of spring break 2000. I for one feel abc made the right choice.

I couldn't believe the news that ABC had cancelled one the better reality shows that have recently come out. It was a bigger hit because it was after only two episodes. These tv execs don't give shows a chance. The story lines were just coming together; word of mouth couldn't be spread yet. The show was shot already so what did they have to lose in showing them instead of repeats.
