Kyle XY series finale (spoilers)
Daniel Damouth
cut out just as Kyle was deciding whether or not to kill Cassidy, who
had just claimed to be his brother?
Clearly another episode is required to finish the story. The romantic
subplots are also unresolved.
Someone confirm for me that this show was prematurely canceled, with
the real finale script unshot.

I believe that it was the more usual thing: the network decided not to
renew after shooting had completed for the entire season, and why
bother giving the series runners an extr aepisode of a failed series?

Because if you actually have an ending, people will buy the DVDs.

But I totally expected it, especially considering the circumstances
under which it was cancelled.
I knew the Jessi/Amanda triangle would end unresolved (there's no way
they could solve that with 1-2 episodes to go), but I had hoped it
wouldn't end on such an explicit cliffhanger. No such luck.
And if ABC Family thinks I'm going to watch any of their new trash like
"Sophie" or "Roommates", they're in for a rude awakening. >:/

We all saw the same thing. It is a cliff hanger for the season,
unfortunately becomes the series finale.
Kyle XY became so bad in the last two seasons. It is no surprise
ABC Family killed it.

Sure seemed like the kind of ending a show on mid-season hiatus might
get. In no way was that a series finale.
But that's all there is.

Oh, everyone just admit I was right.

It was intended as a season finale cliffhanger, it wasn't meant to be
the series finale. But then they cancelled it, so it turned out that
it was. A shame they cancelled this, no way am I watching this
network again, not unless they at least give us some resolution in the
form of a one off movie or such.

Let's look at ABC Family's recent track-record:
Wildfire - ran 4 seasons; got a series finale(?) (though, of course,
this is after several cast members, including Dennis Weaver, were
notably "disappeared")
Kyle XY - cancelled after three seasons, but after the 3rd finished
filming, so no series finale
Beautiful People - short first season, renewed for a short second
season, but then abruptly cancelled - no finale
Greek - still running after 3(?) seasons
Lincoln Heights - still running after 2(?) seasons
Middleman - cancelled after one, poorly promoted, season - no finale
The Secret Life of The American Teenager - still running after 1
season (and it's a "hit"!1!)
I may be missing one or two shows in there, but this is the gist.
Of these, I only watched "Kyle" (1st & 3rd seasons), "Wildfire" (1st &
part of the 2nd season), and "Beautiful People" (1st season only), and
a lot of the parts I missed was because ABC Family kept moving the
airing schedules of their shows all around the calender (e.g. one
season in summer, then one in spring, then one in fall, etc.).
Basically, they don't have a good track record, generally don't air
shows I'm interested in, and move their shows all over the place.
And none of their new shows interest me.
So, yeah - I'll be giving this network a pass from now on too.

Again, it was not intended to be a season finale, but a mid-season
episode prior to hiatus. The show was cancelled mid season. I don't know
what the original order was, but certainly not 10 episodes.

Considering they canceled "The Middleman", too, and I wasn't watching
anything else, I'm not watching it either.

The second season was 23 episodes. The third season was 10 episodes.
When it was renewed for a third season, I've got to believe that the
original order was bigger.

I agree that it should have been a summer series, as Season 1 and the
first part of Season 2 were. Season 2 resumed January 2008.
When was production on these 10 episodes finished, in time for Summer
2008? I know the writers' strike screwed up lots of production
schedules. If they weren't ready, they should have been held for this
summer.

You might want to abandon the whole corporation, given what ABC did with Eli
Stone and Pushing Daisies, not even airing the final few episodes. Maybe
CBS as well, since they did the same with The Ex List.
