First off, great thread. It's less a cancellation thread and more a one-stop Ultimate Guide to the television season, at least far as I can tell. This will be a great resource to figure out what's going on in TV land down the road. Thank you for your hard work!

Second, has there been any indication thus far of how much longer the Good Wife will be able to run? It's such a great show. I want it to last forever...
It's also the only show I watch on TV.

NinjaEdit: Good fix.

super bummed legit was canned :\

I'm really surprised Netflix didn't pick it up. Jeffries' new special is a Netflix original, and the budget can't be that high.

Any news on You're The Worst? I have grown strangely attached, mostly because of the wonderfulness of Aya Cash and Kether Donahue (aka the best fat friend in TV history). That last episode...man.
 
Stalker (CBS, debuts October 1 at 10 p.m.)

If you like stalkers, you’ll love CBS’ new thriller procedural. Stalker brings Kevin Williamson (writer of Scream, creator of The Following) to tell the story of two detectives assigned to the arm of the LAPD that focuses on stalking cases. Maggie Q and Dylan McDermott play partnered detectives Beth and Jack, both of whom have stalking histories of their own. Fans of Williamson will notice the same terrifying violence, masked murderers, and creepy phone calls that have defined much of his work.

What it’s selling: Williamson told the audience at the Television Critics Association summer press tour that his goal was both to bring awareness to stalking issues, especially cyberstalking, as well as to “entertain” the viewer. The first scene is a woman being lit on fire and burned alive in her car.

Creator of The Following?

Oh man, this is going to be thrilling. Minority Report never fully satisfied. It ended just when it might get good! I really needed to know: but what's going to happen when one of those background precogs return to the big bad city?

Why do I bother watching anything on Fox? I'm very skeptical of NBC shows but with Fox, I think it's a waste of time to get interested in them anymore unless 24 keeps coming back. When The Following somehow becomes a hit, the world is doomed in my eyes.

Fox was good(ish) in the Kevin Reilly era, IMO. Who knows what's coming now, though.

It's a medical procedural, but set at the country's most notorious Pokemon Center. Sela Ward stars as Nurse Joy in JOY.

I have to imagine that this show could only work with Tatiana Maslany levels of diversity with all the different Nurse Joys that would no doubt turn up as the series goes on.
 
Any news or hints about the fate of You're The Worst? The last episode was great.
Nothing firm yet, but I can't imagine it's expensive to make, FXX needs content, and there's been a minor upswing in critical support recently. Between the three of those, I would guess it's coming back.

Don't worry, Yahoo will save Firefly.

Oh, wait, Yahoo isn't saving everything?

Okay, Tumblr will save Firefly.

Wait, Yahoo bought Tumblr?

Radio Shack will save Firefly. I'm sure of it.

But wait, doesn't FOX do stuff with [INSERT RANDOM RELATED SERVICE HERE?]
There's a chance. Contracts and stuff right?

Awesome OP, but sad to hear you're semi-retiring from the TV threads. Hope Helix goes well for you.

but seriously when does the next season of Firefly come out?

Utopia appears to be crashing and burning very quickly. Does FOX even have anything on the back burner to fill the hours if they cancel it?

Re-air Firefly?
 
The show has been on the decline for a while, so it's crazy to see Sons of Anarchy putting up increasing numbers year after year.

Deadline said:
A wise man once told me that the best way to go out is on top. If the numbers for the premiere of the seventh and final season of Sons Of Anarchy are anything to go by, that could well be the case for the FX series. The Kurt Sutter-created biker drama drew 6.2 million viewers at 10 PM last night with 4.1 million among adults 18-49, according to Nielsen. Coming in as the most watched episode and the best demo result in the show’s history a nice margin, the epic 1-hour and 47 minute beginning of SOA’s last ride was up 5% in total viewership from the 90-minute Season 6 premiere on September 10, 2013. Previously the best SOA had ever done, that debut last year had 5.87 million viewers with 3.94 million in the key demo.

First note: Please please please let me know if anything here is wrong. Especially with cable.

On another note, I think this is my last year doing the cancellation thread. Not for love of you all, but it seems wise to slowly begin my retirement from TV-GAF. I'll probably still try to lurk as I ween myself off these threads, but that's the long-term plan.

Just saw this post now.

Makes complete sense and I expected as much but still, :(

The premiere was the craziest thing I have ever seen on broadcast TV. People just slamming religion and doing crazy shit for no reason. I bet they turned off a huge segment of the people that tuned in by having such an insane group of people.

What the heck is Utopia anyway?

I thought it was a remake of the BBC show that just finished airing until I saw a promo for it.

Behold "Utopia", a bold new series based on the hit Dutch program. Watch what happens as 15 pioneering Americans wave goodbye to the lives they’ve known, move to a remote location, and set out to create a society from scratch. They’ve got limited supplies, wildly diverse backgrounds, and zero bathrooms.

What could go wrong -- besides everything?

The Utopians will make every decision about how they live and work. Will they choose democracy or dictatorship? Capitalism or socialism? Fidelity or free love? Which religion, if any, will prevail? Will they punish or forgive? Keep or share?

Are those chickens friends….or food? If not now, when?

It is all up to them.

This is not a game. There is no prize. This is "Utopia": reality TV in its truest form.

I thought it was a remake of the BBC show that just finished airing until I saw a promo for it.

Next year. HBO. :/

Blerg, crappy reality TV show. Too bad the Utopia name is basically ruined now. lol

Funny enough, ANOTHER show called Utopia aired in Australia this summer - a sitcom.
