In addition to "Dr. Ken", ABC has also axed comedies "The Real O'Neals" and "Imaginary Mary".

"The Real O'Neals" premiered last year and during its final season averaged 3.7 million and 1.2 adults 18-49.

The ratings were bad, but the controversies certainly hurt too. Noah Galvin slamming Colton Haynes' coming out story and people (including Grey’s star Sara Ramirez) taking issue with the portrayal of bisexuals.

The Real O'Neals may have had potential (and did pretty decent ratings its first season) but eventually, it became obvious that Kenny's character was just going to be a walking, talking bundle of gay stereotypes and tropes.
