Loved the show. It was funny at times and thought-provoking at others. It gave non-mixed folks like me an insight into what growing up mixed might have been like. Warm hearted show will be missed.

This is very disappointing. I LOVE this show.

I will miss Mixedish. I really enjoyed watching it. I loved Aunt DD and loved the storyline. It was so REAL.

Two of my favorite shows I’m sorry that it had to go

Does anyone know why Mixed-ish was canceled? Were views low or something?
