      I really loved this show! It was funny, smart and had quality acting and sets to make everything resonate. Unfortunately, I’m not surprised by the cancellation. I tried to tell friends about the show, and trying to convince folks to watch a cold war spy drama comedy with two female leads is a tough sell. Unlike the days of Cheers or Seinfeld, where a network might give a show a second season to see if it can catch on, in streaming, it seems to happen a lot less, and come down to analytics of how many watched in a time period, and of course budget. To be fair, between the actors and the sets, Ponies was probably expensive on top of not drawing the numbers Peacock wanted, making the decision to cut it easier.

      Dear showrunners in the age of streaming:

      Please don’t end your first season with a buncha huge cliffhangers if you aren’t absolutely, positively guaranteed a second season.

      I mean, it’s okay to end with a teaser of whatever your next storyline would be. But otherwise, wrap up all your first season storylines so that even if you don’t get picked up, your show is still watchable as a limited series.

      Thanks for your time,

    3. Great show. Probably be sold somewhere else considering they need the money for Dungeon Crawler Carl and that massive budget

    4. I watched Ponies while I was in the early days of maternity leave and it was such a fun show. Too bad it didn’t get renewed!

    5. This is why nobody wants to give me shows a chance. They never know if the show will be cancel the next day.
