    Well it would appear to be we think "Oh great - I've been waiting two years for this !" whereas Americans tend to go "Fuck off, I'm watching something else now..."

    Which is quite valid.

    Shows in the UK can have seasons of different lengths and years in between. USA audiences are used to a schedule, 22 episodes of Law & Order that start in September and end in May. Streaming has changed things up a bit.

    Disney+ cancels The Mighty Ducks and Big Shot after two seasons each.

    Didn't The Mighty Ducks loose Estevez after season 1? How did they go on without their link to the movies?

    Yeah, not to mention that sometimes when a show returns from a long absence, I tend to forget who's who and what's happened, especially when there isn't an adequate recap. Shows that have lost my interest this way have been Virgin River & Russian Doll. Shows that have long absences should have good recaps, but most of them are inadequate.

    Judge Mathis and (the current incarnation of) The People's Court have been cancelled as of the ends of their currently airing seasons.

    They went to an elite summer program which was run by Josh Duhamel. They were invited by mistake since the invitation was meant for the season 1 Ducks team.

    I only saw a few episodes of the Judge Wapner version of People's Court when I was a kid. I had no idea they had the same judge since 2001.

    At this point... whoever is watching these shows... how long would it take for them to notice they are watching repeats?

    There are some shows that they can EASILY stop production and no one would notice (like 2 years olds wouldn't know the difference with Teletubbies)

    It wasn't the same team that was featured in season 1? I enjoyed the first season, but lost interest when Estevez dropped out and haven't gotten around to watching season 2.

    It's the same team, but they weren't the Ducks in season 1. They won the name from the Ducks.

    Likely to make way for the Captain Seven of Nine show or the Starfleet Academy show.

    Everyone seems to think The Resident won't be renewed and the season finale was written to serve as a series finale if it doesn't get picked up.

    It really felt like a series finale to me. I will be surprised if it gets another season.
