Why was GL and Reba get cancelled? ( I never watched these shows when they were on. I started watching last year when i was so sick i was bed ridden.) Did they have low ratings? I go to the store and I hear so many people quoting from GL show.

It could have been low ratings. They were both in their sixth seasons and were brought in as mid season replacements. I think that both shows could have gone on a bit longer. At least one more season for each. Low ratings could be a factor, though.

The reason Reba was cancelled was because of the WB and UPN merger. They had originally planned to cancel it after season 5 because they didn't want it on the CW. But because they had a six season contract they were forced to bring it back for 13 episodes. It still recieved the best ratings but they cancelled it anyway.
