ABC Family has opted to pass on ordering a second season of its freshman sitcom, Ruby & the Rockits.
In Ruby & the Rockits, former teen icon Patrick Gallagher (Patrick Cassidy) has been living quietly with his wife (Katie A. Keane) and their two sons, teenage Jordan (Austin Butler) and sarcastic preteen Ben (Kurt Doss).
Things change when Patrick's former band-mate brother, David (David Cassidy), shows up with David's previously unknown teenage daughter, Ruby (Alexa Vega). David doesn't want to give up his show-biz life and leans on his brother to help raise his daughter, who's a rising star on her own.
Ruby And The Rockits debuted on July 21st to 1.6 million viewers and 654,000 in the 18-49 demographic, making it the second best sitcom launch in the network's history. It even built out of the audience of fellow freshman comedy 10 Things I Hate About You.
