ABC Family's comedy series "Roommates" won't return for a second season.

The remaining four episodes from the show's freshman season will air back-to-back Monday.

The series, starring Tyler Frankavilla, Dorian Brown, Tamera Mowry, Tommy Dewey and David Weidoff, premiered March 23.

ABC Family recently loaded up on new series for this summer, when the cable network will unspool three new shows: the drama "Make It or Break It" and comedies "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Ruby & the Rockits."

Don't tell me this sad news

Very sad news. The 4/20 episode had its highest ratings yet w/o the help of Secret Life. The episode had 520,000 viewers and was up 65,000 viewers from the last episode.

I haven't seen the ratings for the four episodes that aired this Monday yet.

I can't say this is unexpected, but it definitely is sad. It was good while it lasted, and if we could see a DVD release of the show someday, that would be great.
