User blog:Sciencejam555/A.N.T. Farm is ending: The Analysis

Hey guys, as you all know, A.N.T. Farm is ending after three seasons. Because this seemed too soon, I decided to get to the bottom of this by conducting research on the matter and came with some conclusions... So now your thinking, How is this even plausible. Well that's where the evidence comes in!
 * 1) A.N.T. Farm was cancelled and not renewed for a 4th Season.
 * 2) A.N.T. Farm is not ending how Dan Signer would have wanted the series to end.
 * 3) No official series finale. Just a possible "season" finale.

Exhibit A: China Anne McClain and Jake Short statements
It has already been prior knowledge for most that China Anne's infamous tweet officially confirmed A.N.T. Farm not returning for a fourth Season.

"It was GREAT filming ANT Farm but after 3 seasons it&#39;s come to an end. I&#39;m excited about my secret projects and keeping you guys happy!" - China Anne McClain (@chinamcclain)

I would argue however that Jake Short already confirmed the status of A.N.T. Farm 3 days prior with his fanlalatv interview at Digifest! You can watch the video below.



Also, Aedin Mincks retweeted a fan's twitter post which confirms A.N.T. Farm's end to the public.

Exhibit B: Low Ratings and Criticism
A.N.T Farm, sorry to say this isn't as popular as it used to be. In Season One, 3 - 4 million would watch the new A.N.T. Farm episode, as of know, only about 2 million watches the new episode. This decrease in viwership may have forced Disney to pull the plug off A.N.T. farm's spotlight. More people seem to prefer shows like Austin and Ally and Good Luck Charlie due to them have a reasonable plot to follow throughout, in A.N.T. farm however, it is almost pure comedy and randomness with episodes that usually don't all connect together which is why many episodes have "goofs". The major changes that happened in Season 3 I speculate was an effort to revitalize the show since ratings were declining in Season 2. Unfortunately, today's ratings prove that this did not work and Disney had to pull the plug!

Disney in the past have renewed A.N.T. farm for a second and then a third season on October in 2011 and 2012. However no announcement was made on October of 2013 which caught me off a bit. Here are the stats.

Season One
"TransplANTed" - 4.4 million 

 "America Needs TalANT (Special)" - 3.4 million 

Season Two
"Creative ConsultANT" - 2.8 million

"C hANTs of a Lifetime (Special)" - 2.4 million 

Season Three
"TrANTsferred (Special)" - 2.8 million

MutA.N.T. Farm
"MutANT Farm" - 3.8 million

"MutANT Farm 2" - 2.9 million

"MutANT Farm 3" - 3.0 million

Exhibit C: Dan Signer Tweets and Timeline
This seems the most unfortunate pieces of evidence. This shows that Dan Signer wanted Season 4, but Disney declined his offers. This was posted on August 25th 2013, China Anne's Birthday:

@chinamcclain "Happy birthday! I can &#39;t believe three years ago this week we were shooting the A.N.T. Farm pilot. # missyouguys"&mdash; Dan Signer (@DanSigner)  

Thanks to China Anne's vlog, Season 3 shooting probably ended by May 23rd 2013. Here is the video below: The troubling thing about this is that Dan Signer tweeted the now famous Folive Tweet that states in response to a Folive uproar on Twitter on July 2nd, 2013: @AlexisLove00 @SierraNMcCormic"Oh, you guys want Folive?! I thought you wanted Wolive (Wacky-Olive). I have some editing to do".-Dan Signer (@DanSigner)  This may bring sorrow, but it seems that the changes he has made may have potentially be for Season 4 since Season three shooting probably ended by May. This also proves that he wanted a 4th season, but Disney refused. Exhibit D: Everyone has moved on... It is not a surprise that Jake Short has already starred in the new show Mighty Med. Stefanie Scott and China Anne McClain are pursuing their music careers and the others are probably looking for auditions. Even Dan Signer is pursuing outside of Disney with a new show he helped create called Some Assembly Required. All the cast's Twitters seem to increasingly distance themselves from A.N.T. Farm related tweets (Sierra McCormick, Allie Deberry, Jake Short, etc)==Summing up!== A.N.T. Farm seems to have gotten off to a great start, but after three seasons, it seems to have came up to the conclusion that it won't last as DanSigner wanted due to simple ratings... A possible solution to this... Disney needs a huge reform! :D Like NOW! A.N.T.
