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?

Last year's thread

Another season of new shows and returning favourites, Who will be the first to bomba? Predictions, anyone?

 

[dead souls]

If there's any justice in the world it will be H8R.

 

[AgentChris]

I think Whitney will be cancelled.

 

[Hot Coldman]

New Girl is going to get fucked up

 

[Raxus]

I can't see many new shows surviving to season 2. Hopefully Up All Night isn't crushed by Modern Family.

 

[Kabouter]

Whitney's getting canned for sure.

I have to say by the way, you calling H8R the worst show greenlit in at least a decade really makes me want to check it out.

 

[DavieC726]

My moneys on Whitney getting canned as well.

I was going to say New Girl at one point....but after watching the pilot its not that bad

 

[Invisible_Insane]

I think Whitney will be cancelled.

Whitney Cummings can't be funny

Spoiler

on network television. From what I've seen of her comedy and the show, I wish her luck, but I don't think it'll work.

 

[blackflag]

Just based on the pilot...Ringer. It got mediocre reviews but I don't see how. It was really bad and extremely boring. It had a lot of marketing though so that could save it.

 

[jagowar]

I would be surprised if more than 1 or 2 shows make season two this fall.... almost all the new fall shows this year look horrible.

I hope terra nova brings in good ratings.... its the one that looked like it has a chance to make it but from what I read is a very expensive production and would likely need killer ratings to survive which it may not get.

 

[Franklinator]

Whitney looks kinda funny, but I think it will be canned

 

[TheSeks]

I'd say Wilfred, but mysteriously it's popular in the US.

Tried both the AU and US versions and think it's really unfunny.

 

[Slayven]

Just based on the pilot...Ringer. It got mediocre reviews but I don't see how. It was really bad and extremely boring. It had a lot of marketing though so that could save it.

Yeah I don't see how they can stretch the premise for more then two eps let alone a full season.

 

[3N16MA]

I wonder if any show will get Lone Star'd.

 

[Slayven]

Whitney looks kinda funny, but I think it will be canned

The pilot is bad.

 

[TheMan]

That police show starring Maria Bello sounds so fucking cliche (except for the fact that the main character is a chick and not a dude, but honestly who gives a shit) and I think it's going to fall flat on its face.

 

[yankeehater]

Charlie's Angles looks horrible. I bet it gets canceled.

 

[JLG-]

H8R is so fucking bad.

 

[Lovegooder]

My money's on Whitney or Charlie's Angels.

 

[lordfroakie]

That NBC cop sci-fi like show will get canned for sure

 

[Kabouter]

H8R is so fucking bad.

Yeah it is, I just watched the first half of the first episode, and stump absolutely did not oversell it. My god this shit is terrible. It is by far the fakest reality show I've ever seen, an accomplishment when most come across as fake already anyway. The entire concept is awful, the host is awful, the 'celebrities' are awful, the entire fucking show is awful. Definitely hope it's the first that will be canned.

 

[Zoe]

That police show starring Maria Bello sounds so fucking cliche (except for the fact that the main character is a chick and not a dude, but honestly who gives a shit) and I think it's going to fall flat on its face.

I don't think I can watch it just because of how awful she looks in the promos.

(I know it's intentional)

 

[Granger Danger]

I wonder if any show will get Lone Star'd.

Awake.

 

[Zoe]

Awake.

Nooooo, they have to give it a chance

 

[TheOddOne]

I say Free Agent is gonna get cancelled. Nothing appealing about that show.

 

[TheMan]

My money's on Whitney or Charlie's Angels.

Whitney may or may not be that great, but as hard as they're pushing it I think people will watch it just because they're constantly being told to. I had no idea Charlie's Angels was being remade but I still think it's gonna be terrible. Didn't the movie run that property into the ground?

 

[Franklinator]

Charlie's Angles looks horrible. I bet it gets canceled.

Yeah, Charlie's Angles looks pretty obtuse

 

[ram4638]

The New York Times is running a pool where you can pick your dream 8-11 p.m. line-up out of the new shows, and guess how many episodes before they get cancelled. Its a pretty neat concept, though I don't know if they're giving away any prizes.

I'd guess that Whitney, 2 Broke Girls, Man Up and Once Upon a Time will be the big flops of the season.

 

[fallengorn]

I'm a terrible judge of what does and doesn't get cancelled. I remember watching Friends and thinking it was horrible.

 

[Slayven]

That police show starring Maria Bello sounds so fucking cliche (except for the fact that the main character is a chick and not a dude, but honestly who gives a shit) and I think it's going to fall flat on its face.

Old people love their cop shows

 

[Incendiary]

I'd guess that Whitney, 2 Broke Girls, Man Up and Once Upon a Time will be the big flops of the season.

2 Broke Girls is going to be the CBS comedy that lasts a full season because they don't have anything else to replace it, and is canned at the end. See: Accidentally on Purpose, S%&^ My Dad Says.

 

[Hey You]

A bunch of shows on Comedy I think will get canned. They all look really dumb and half ass thought out shows.

 

[JLG-]

Kat Dennings is in 2 Broke Girls??

...might watch

 

[dvdjamm]

Once Upon A Time
How To Be A Gentleman
Free Agents
Grimm
The Playboy Club
H8R
Hart Of Dixie
The Secret Circle
Terra Nova
Man Up


All those shows should be cancelled within the next 4-5 months

 

[blackflag]

I'm a terrible judge of what does and doesn't get cancelled. I remember watching Friends and thinking it was horrible.

You were right.

 

[DavieC726]

Once Upon A Time
How To Be A Gentleman
Free Agents
Grimm
The Playboy Club
H8R
Hart Of Dixie
The Secret Circle
Terra Nova
Man Up


All those shows should be cancelled within the next 4-5 months

I completely forgot about the playboy club....yeah I'm fully expecting that to be canned as well

 

[Manmademan]

Kat Dennings is in 2 Broke Girls??

...might watch

after those leaked photos, I'm watching anything and everything she's in just to say "thank you"

 

[Lovegooder]

Didn't the movie run that property into the ground?

I believe the first CA movie was a big hit, the sequel not so much.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Screw all you Charlie's Angles haters... you are evil men.

edit - I am |OT|ing the shit out of this show now

 

[Lovegooder]

Whitney Cummings is the creator of 2 Broke Girls. She might go 0-for-2 before mid-season.

Speaking of mid-season, that's when 30 Rock will be back. Boo on Ms. Fey for getting knocked up -- again!

 

[survivor]

I know it has no chance of being cancelled but what's the outlook on Two and a Half Men? Big drop or small negligible one?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

It's gonna be like last year, where most new things get straight up canned before the end of the year. Only like, X-Factor and...I dunno, nothing else will survive.

 

[Darth Pinche]

If Whitney does not get cancelled quickly, you will find me in a clock tower somewhere with a sniper rifle because any faith in people would have been ripped away from me.

The force feeding nature of the commercials is infuriating.

 

[blahblah...blah]

I hope Up All Night is given time to develop. With basically three leads, however, I don't know how long it can last.

As for Awake, I pray that NBC gives it at least a full season (to be honest, it should probably be a mini-series, but if they have a plan it could be a really satisfying 3/4 season show)

 

[saunderez]

New Girl judging from the pilot. The character of Jess is far too annoying for me to tolerate on a weekly basis. I went to school with someone with that exact personality, I don't want to watch a TV show about her.

 

[Emerson]

Is it just me or is everything shit this year? Granted I haven't followed every show but there's nary a one I have any interest in watching.

 

[D4Danger]

that show about Playboy.

wait, is Summer Glau in anything? it will be that then the Playboy thing.

Is it just me or is everything shit this year? Granted I haven't followed every show but there's nary a one I have any interest in watching.

Homeland on Showtime is good. The pilot is online if you're interested

 

[Granger Danger]

Is it just me or is everything shit this year? Granted I haven't followed every show but there's nary a one I have any interest in watching.

I'd say Wilfred, but mysteriously it's popular in the US.

It's already been renewed for a second season.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I think Last Man Standing will be renewed because I think it'll be successful. It looks terrible, but nothing really hits the King of Queens / Everybody Loves Raymond / Home Improvement family laugh-track sitcom niche these days. The closest options you have are The Middle (more closely related to Malcolm in the Middle in tone / presentation), Modern Family (the antithesis of what Last Man Standing purports to be), or Raising Hope (again, not a good fit).
