Ringer Gone Too

Ringer's lost its appeal and The Secret Circle's magic is gone. Both dramas have been canceled by The CW. Unfortunately, Sarah Michelle Gellar's return to television was short-lived. Neither show will be back for a second season.

The Secret Circle

What The CW giveth, The CW can taketh away. Friday afternoon, the network announced three major renewals Nikita, Hart of Dixie and Gossip Girl. But with that positive came a serious negative.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's Ringer and the supernatural Secret Circle were canceled. We're not shocked by Ringer's fate considering the show averaged a mere 1.8 million viewers and a 0.8 demo rating. That's disappointing, even by CW standards. Despite its intriguing premise and plot twists, it wasn't enough to get the numbers up.

On the other hand, The Secret Circle is more of a shock. It had a prime lead-in with The Vampire Diaries (the CW's highest-rated show) and averaged 2 million viewers a week. That's more than both Nikita (1.8 million) and Hart of Dixie, whose latest episode only drew 1.3 million.

Just yesterday, The CW aired the season (now series) finale of The Secret Circle, which ended with several cliffhangers. Ringer's finale, which debuted last month, was also open-ended leaving viewers in limbo.

To date, The CW has renewed 90210, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, America’s Next Top Model, plus the aforementioned Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie and Nikita.

They picked up five new hour-long pilots including the Sex and the City prequel, The Carrie Diaries. There's also the Beauty and the Beast reboot, the comic book-based Arrow, First Cut and Cult.

Are you shocked by The CW's decision?

I believe that you should bring the Secret Circle back. It fits in with that of todays world. It was an awesome show that everyone in the family would watch. Please bring it back.

I loved watching The Secret Circle!! I really wish it would come back on!! it had so many viewers every week, it should have survived the cut not Nikita!! I personally would rather keep watching The Secret Circle than Nikita. It has more umph to it, has more mystery, magic and action to it than that of Nikita! Please I beg of you bring it back on air this spring!!!

Omg what the hell! I LOVED secret circle... Please make a second season, you have no idea how disappointed I was to read this. As corny as this sounds I've been waiting for it to come back on!!!

i love the secret circle bring it back

I love season 1 and to found out there will not be a season 2 is just sad. Please bring back the circle.... please

You can't end the first season the way you did and then give nothing in return. The story is not done and neither is the viewers interest in whats to come. PLEASE bring back the show with season two! ASAP.

Bring back Secret Circle. I'm dying to find out what's going to happen with those mysterious guys that showed up at the end of the last episode of the season. How can you guys just leave us hanging like that?? Unfreakin' believable!!!

Secret circle was awesome. I'm done with the can just because they canceled it. The people running it are obviously idiots

Two awesome shows I loved which had me glued to my seat every week I think this was a big mistake to cancel them. Everytime there are really good shows that they get us all interested in they take them away. I much rather watch hour show programs there are to many sitcoms,drama only,and reality stuff. These two shows were more then drama hello!! Im very annoyed,and discussed.

The best show ever I love anything to do with witches and this is the one that keeps you gripped please bring it back

I don't get it I watched that show secret circle all the time rerun or not I loved it and I don't think they had a right to take it away!

i cant believe they shut it down on a cliff hanger as well, i absolutely positively loved it never missed a single episode and it was never boring always had me on the edge of my seat SOMEONE ANYONE TAKE SECRET CIRCLE BACK THIS SHOW SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CANCELLED ME AND ALLLL OF MY FRIENDS WERE DEVASTATED BRING IT BACK SAVE THE CIRCLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this show a lot and I was so excited to see what was going to happen next you need to keep it on tv because now the only thing I can watch it on now is Netflix and after I watch them all again I don't know what els I'm going to watch except vampire diaries and I really like both shows. You Need To Bring Back The Secret Circle!!!! I hate it when shows leave you wondering whats going to happen next and then they go ahead and cancel it.

Seriously!? The secret circle was amazing! There was no need to cancel it if anything CW should cancel Nikita. Please put the secret circle back on. A lot of us miss it:( the vampire diaries and the secret circle are 2 of the 4 t.v shows that I am actually hooked on! I enjoy watching it. Pleaseeeee!!

Secret Circle was a amazing show, I have been watching it from the start, Bring Secret Circle back for a fresh new season in 2013. Secret circle is to good of a show to be gone. The secret circle didnt lose its magic

Why would they cancel secret cirle...I watched secret cirle and vampire diaries every thursday...i looked forward to watching that show..please please put it back on CW... it was a great show..

Thank god they cancelled The Secret Circle! Never thought that show had a shot. They had wayyyy too many supernatural shows going on. Besides supernatural, they were just trying to pull of another tvd. As for GG, remember at one time it used to be the highest rated show on the channel. Though I have to admit it has gone down. The writers are totally screwing up! They need to have Dan and Serena back together! AND Rufus and Lily! What's up with these new character s like that dumb teenager and her dad and CHARLIE! Ugh God I hate her! And Dan is not Dan anymore, I don't know who this guy is.

CW...you screwed up yet again...The Secret Circle was awesome. I have been watching Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, and Secret Circle since each made its appearnance. Thursday was a great day just because two of my favs were on back to back. You would have made a better decision had you cancelled Gossip girl and Hart of Dixie... sorry but Beauty and the Beast had its chance many years ago...the beast even has the same name(Vincent). Arrow has promise. Please bring back the Secret Circle.

You know i really dont understand why they cancelled the secret circle it was a really good show! and the books were also very good! and Supernatural is the bomb!!!! They should as least bring back the secret circle to finish off what the hell is happening in the first season like really not fair!

TSC was meant to be an S! Not a big fan. Love the first part of the first season. But it went downhill for me afterwards. But to cancel it over HoD was just unbelievable..
