    • We all know that Kyle XY aired its final episode this week on ABC Family. The fact that this series was canceled still shocks the hell out of me. To me, Kyle XY was one of the most creative series on television. I was hooked in from the very beginning of episode one by the story line, the characters and the people that made them come to life. However, ratings do tend to be a problem, but ABC really tried to back this one. Episodes were even re-aired on ABC during the first two seasons. That wasn’t done with season three because it was announced early on that the series was going to end.

      That end did come, and I did tune in, hoping to find some kind of closure to the series. Was that received? Not at all. The episode was a good episode until the final thirty seconds, and then I realized it was over. I thought there was some commercial and then it would be back. That wasn’t the case. In the final thirty seconds, we are given a shocking revelation, and then it is all done. Good-bye folks! What kind of ending is that? I know the series and the people behind it weren’t really told in time to make a proper ending because episodes were already shot, but still something could have been done.

      This is the second series I’ve seen end their run badly. The first one was The L Word. I’ve mentioned that series also coming to an end in recent weeks, and it did. However, for the whole season we followed a plot line of ‘Who Killed Jenny Schecter’ only to not be told who really did it in the end? Everyone walked off into the night happily. The last minute of that series finale had me laughing, and it still does every time I see it. What is up with series ending without really ending things on a proper note. The only thing we are left with is more questions. Follow through for your fans, please!

      Kyle XY was certainly canceled before it’s time. Fans have (1)a plethora of unanswered questions, (2)a massive desire to see this program continued and (3)the drive to do what it takes to see that goal accomplished. What does this mean to networks? It means that (1) there is an established show with a great fan base that is waiting on someone to answer these questions (not to mention a plot that is screaming for a script), (2)with massive desire comes devoted fans, and (3) now those fans are grouping together to resurrect Kyle (much like he resurrected Jessi).
      While we’re still reeling from the recent “hiatus” of Kyle XY, we’re not giving up hope! Fans can & have (and will) brought canceled shows back to life. Please join us at kylexy.net and see what you can do!

      Kyle XY is a prime example of the old adage, “only the good die young.” After three short seasons, we as fans are left begging for more… more of a show that was our bright spot on Monday nights.
      We Kyle XY fans are a loyal group. As a member of KyleXY dot net, I’m doing what I can to help resurrect this show. You can join in the fight as well. The more of us that speak out for Kyle XY, the easier it is for the networks to hear us!

      To the author of this article I am a fan of Kyle XY and it would be truly appreciated if you could write a column about our continued campaign efforts. Fans of Kyle XY are deeply disappointed by the ending of the show and after following the show loyally for three seasons we are hoping for a proper conclusion. The campaign for Kyle XY is still going on and will continue until we have a proper ending to the mystery. Many fans from around the world have banded together under this common cause, 25,000 people alone have signed an online petition.

      Thank for considering my request because the only way for our message to get heard is if columnists like yourself will shed light on the campaign.

      There is something to be said about a show that you can watch over and
      over… and enjoy it more with each viewing. Kyle XY is that kind of
      show.

      Many, many people are outraged over the cancellation of this gem.
      However, only a portion of those upset know that there is a campaign
      going to revive Kyle XY! United we stand, divided we fall.

      Those interested in joining the fight to save Kyle XY, feel free to
      join. There are several websites where fans are gathering. Any fan of
      Kyle XY who would like to be a part of the campaign please visit

      Now if only some network would realize that… and pick it up!

      Kyle XY is a great show which many people like.
      For that it is not fair the show hasn’t been renewed for a 4th season.
      So get in the tub and save this show!!

      Thank you!

      Can’t ABC Family see that a mini-series or a made-for-tv movie to tie up loose ends would be a ratings boom? Or maybe just an itunes movie download? People would pay! Isn’t that what they want in the end?

      I’m still holding out hope, no matter what I hear in the news. Like the song (Earlimart - “Before It Gets Better”) featured in the finale episode says,

      “It’s gonna get worse, before it gets better”
