The show was set to premiere on the Oxygen Network in 2013, but garnered considerable coverage due to its allegedly stereotypical portrayal of black families and glamorizing of premarital sex and sex with multiple partners. All My Babies' Mamas was cancelled on January 15, 2013, without airing a single episode.[3]

Prerelease reaction

News of the show's central premise received a mostly negative reaction from critics.[4][5][6] A petition sprung up online to cancel the show, while some news commentators, and the conservative advocacy group Parents Television Council in conjunction with author Sabrina Lamb, panned the show for perpetuating or glorifying negative stereotypes.[7]

Oxygen's response

Oxygen network executives distanced themselves from the show,[8] and they canceled it before it aired.[3]
