Shouldn't The Mole 2 have been back on ABC by now?

I used to enjoy watching The Mole 2 on Fridays on ABC, until the station suddenly took it off the air because ratings were bad. The ABC website said that The Mole 2 would return soon, but is hasn't since last year. Does anyone have any information when the Mole 2 may return. I feel that it is very rude of ABC to abruptly take a show off the air (close to halfway through the series) and not intend to show the rest of the series ever again. If The Mole 2 doesn't return, we should stop watching ABC...there aren't any good shows (other than the Mole 2) on ABC anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

didn't they only take it off after 2 episodes?


Anyways, i loved the original version of "The Mole" and i saw the first 2 episodes of mole 2 so i hope they at least show the whole series during the summer.

was supposedly going to return this past January. Never happened. My only thoughts is that they are going to hold on to it as a summer series, since that would kind of cater to that timeframe or it's been cancelled and will never air. Hopefully it's the first of those 2 ideas.

They aired the first three episodes out of approximately 13 episodes total. I too am hoping they bring this show back!

i heard it was caned for good because of the show were they fooled everyone into beliving the burned all there stuff. adn that hirl was crying over her bible.. so fans got upset when they thought they really did burn a bible... even though they didnt viewers still got upset that they coud deven pull a joke like that....

either way i look at it . it was a joke and its a tv show.,... and i hope that they change there minds on canning it....cause the mole rocks....

They didn't can it because of the Bible-burning thing, they canned it because ratings were low. Of course, this shouldn't have surprised them...they aired it on Friday night when the target demographic for the show is generally out doing other things.

A group of monkeys could run ABC better than the executives they've got there now.

That and they didn't market it at all.
I knew a few die hard Mole fans like myself and they had no idea that the show would be coming back.

We should be the last people to complain about The Mole 2 not airing....The winner of The Mole 2 DOES NOT GET THEIR MONEY until the show airs in its entirety as stated in the contract they sign. Now that sucks!!

i think that americas funniest videos is getting good ratings so that is why the mole is not on (does the version with bob saget still come on any network.)

I used to think it was a given they would burn off the episodes during the summer until I read this. Since ABC could be financially better off not airing the episodes and stiffing the winner, the Mole 2 may never get shown. That sucks.

Awwww... I was wondering about this show, too. The Mole was the only 'reality' show I could watch... the rest were too full of junk and cliques and irritated me more than Jerry Springer. Wish they would go ahead and show us the rest of the episodes.
