So I can cheer when it gets cancelled again?
Sounds like a plan.

I wonder what CBS' awesome show will be now, now that Person of Interest is gone. I guess with football and returning shows, it might not happen till midseason or later.
As long as the channel doesn't land on TLC and all of its monstrosities, that's an okay deal.

If you mean by popularity, the current top rated network shows are The Big Bang Theory, Empire, NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, Modern Family, The Blindspot, NCIS Spinoff, Scandal, and I don't know what would come next-ish. As of their current seasons there is literally nothing on that list I'd recommend watching.
If you mean by critical acclaim, I can't think of a single show on network television that has broad critical acclaim since The Good Wife ended. Maybe American Crime on ABC (not to be confused with the vastly more popular American Crime Story, which is on cable). I just checked Metacritic and here are a list of network TV shows with good reviews in 2016: American Crime, The Carmichael Show, Colony, The Real O'Neals, BrainDead. Of those the only one I stuck with was BrainDead, which is airing right now on CBS.
I don't mean to a coastal educated snob or whatever but network TV really hasn't captured the critical imagination for some years now. Like you and your girlfriend, everyone has moved to Netflix and HBO.

I still miss Forever
Me too buddy
Oh, we're still talking about Rubicon so that means that it is still cool for me to plug its French spiritual successor called Le Bureau des Légendes (which has gotten renewed twice!) and is available for streaming on Amazon UK and as Ratsky pointed out will at least get a DVD release in the US?

Fixed.
I really am kind of amazed that no streaming service picked it up. I mean, I'm not amazed, shows getting picked up after cancellation is rare, but it seemed like an obvious choice.
Get the movie, get the series, push them as a single unit.
As for first casualty of the season, I have my eye on the show that's based on a 15+ year old movie. Yeah, that one.

I'm 49. My relevance is counted in days.
Didn't really follow the cancellation list last season, so only finding out now that Bordertown was cancelled. Not surprised. The show itself was duller than Family Guy S14; plus the art style had to have been a huge turn off. I guess they have that Son of Zorn show to replace it now?
Still not happy The Muppets got cancelled, I really enjoyed that first season!

Sir!
Oh god. I thought I had it hard when I turned 35. My pre-emptive condolences.
Subscribing.
Didn't know that ivy left us ;_;
Also, does anyone know if the CW-Netflix deal means that new episodes will no longer be up on Hulu?

Not hilariously stupid enough for CSI
There are a gazillion examples but that one will always be the gold standard to me <3

Ok this make a lot of sense, thank you. I was really hoping I wasn't being too snobby when I thought most network shows weren't really doing much. Is Braindead really that good? The premise sounded kind of insane and I thought it would be cancelled pretty quickly. Maybe I would check out American Crime and Colony as well. Otherwise I'll probably just be sticking to streaming whatever I can.

I like it, there are a lot of clever background details. It is insane. It will be cancelled quickly--the two-part season (series) finale airs on September 11th.

Pulled a Gary Whitta in that he probably doesn't want to say anything that might fuck up his career.
I feel like CBS will prevent some shows from being cancelled first

They nuked Rush Hour pretty quickly.

I just recently finished Limitless on Netflix, probably because of praise in this thread. But during the season for some reason I thought it was a self contained season, not intended to go past one season. Man that's disappointing it wasn't given a second chance somewhere else. The show was pretty much a buddy cop show with Debra Morgan and a young Nate from Six Feet Under.
Of course. Why not do something stupid like that?

I'm a huge sucker for ABC comedies so I'm in for Speechless and American Housewife at least. Definitelt watching Designated Survivor for Keifer Sutherland.
Not sure what else I'll pick up this season, we'll see.

Lol I completely forgot that show existed and keep doing so. True, you are right. Things can definitely die in their first season for CBS
It resolves enough to make it worth it.

Rush Hour was nuked? It looked awful, and I'd kinda been wondering. But I didn't know.
So, I tried out the MTV shows Mary + Jane and Loosely Exactly Nicole that started this week and I didn't finish either one of them. Shows like Awkard and Faking It might not have been top notch comedy either, but they were quirky and fun. These two new shows targeted at early 20-somethings are just what you expect. Casual sex jokes and hipster jokes.
Mary + Jane struggle when their start-up weed dealership gets a "yelp, but not really yelp and for weed"-review from a guy one of them had sex with that implies they are prostitutes. Lol, right? No.
Loosely Exactly Nicole was booted after the male gay friend character went in for blowjob classes with quirky bff. Because nothing says hilarious like a blowjob gag humor.
Nope, just nope.

Yep, cancelled like 4 episodes in. They burned off the episodes in the summer, but they resolved that story arc anyway.
Me too.
Took me a while, but I just realized who you really are.

Yes. Yes, it does.
Hey all... I need some help remembering a show from a few years back that afai can remember was canceled abruptly and I absolutely loved it. I remember watching 3-4 episodes and loved it and all of a sudden it was canceled and I don't think it ever aired completely.
It was about a priest that would have to deal with exorcist and stigmata type deals. It was pretty hardcore stuff. I think it aired on NBC. I've tried Google but I can't find it for the life of me.

Sounds like Miracles. Was on ABC in 2003. From looking at the airing dates they showed 6, ending in March, then the remaining 7 aired somewhere in November and December.
oh my God yessssss that is it! Thank you based TV gaf
What an amazing show. I did not know they actually aired the entire season. I need to re-watch it and this showneeds to be brought back asap! I never heard of that one, if it's anything like miracles I might give it a look as well.
I suspect he'll be a case of theirs after disappearing for a bit, and the hole he left in the team will haunt them all season. Then again, the show always ends with the bad guy taking someone hostage, every single time, so maybe they'll just clumsily forget about him.

Please change thread subtitle to "Sic Semper Tyrannis" -- I am away from a suitable computing device for much of the day
All I know about Tyrant is that Stephen King likes it.
For a moment I feared it was the last ship reference.
