(... unless you're Firefly, of course)
If you actually took NZT back in September, you would've already predicted everything by now. Just saying.
Welcome to the 2016-17 TV season cancellation thread! If you didn't hear about it, we're in the era of #PeakTV right now! Peak TV, Peak TV, Peak TV! And do you know what that means? Peak TV promises Peak cancellations as well! Who the hell has time to watch upwards of 500 English primetime shows from America alone? I know there's a few of you that just rewatches all 10 episodes of BBC's Sherlock every month. You sick basement dweller. Go watch something new already.

Not all shows deserve a happy ending. Or an ending. I don't know why you bother.

2015-16 Thread
Remember to all give praise and thanks to our lord ivysaur, who led us through the desert into the promised land, until it was cancelled in the third season after executive meddling during sweeps. I mean, really, no one wanted Rebecca and Ibrahim to get together at all. They were more like brother and sister. And the promised land was all CGI and montages in the slapdash finale anyway. I can't believe I put three years of my life into that disaster. Ugh. I need to fire my agent.

First: Why should you care? To quote Stump, from many moons ago:
Stumpokapow said:Why care about cancellations?
- You don't want to follow a show that's going to get canned after a cliffhanger and then bitch endlessly how unfair it is that you never get to find out what would have happened.
- The faster shows are cancelled in the fall, the sooner you'll get to see midseason returning favourites and other new shows held for the midseason.
- Networks have a finite amount of time and space. The more shows get cancelled, the more pilots get commissioned, the more shows that are ordered to show, the more new shows you get to watch in the future.
- Ask yourself whether or not there are more shows cancelled before their time (OMG VERONICA MARS JOURNEYMAN JOHN FROM CINCINNATI TERRIERS FERRIS BUELLER THE TV SHOW CANCELLED BEFORE THEIR TIME!) or more shows that run years too long, spiral around the drain, decline in quality, and need to be put out of their mercy?
