Huh... I was thinking of looking into that one. Oh, well. No need now...
And the Next Cancelled Show is...
- Thread starter Guy Gardener
- Start date
I say drop the kids and just do a show about Red and Kitty.
As someone who is a big fan of That '70's Show, this show is...meh. It's not horrible, and every once in awhile I'll have a laugh, but for the most part the kids are not even close to being as entertaining or talented as the former show. And Jayson is correct that the kids aren't '90's kids. Being in high school in the early 90's, they're just not realistic. One thing that really annoyed me is that they call each other 'bro' when that's more of a millennial term, rather than 'dude' which was used more frequently in the '90's (at least where I'm from.) Ironically, the funniest kid is the stereotypical gay Asian kid Ozzie, but in reality there's no way he would have been that out in the '90's. Realistically if he acted that way in high school, he would have gotten his ass kicked six ways from Sunday.
Meh...
I guess it was unstable... 
They made a second season?
After what he did to poor Santa, I'm not surprised.
I remember a time when new tv shows had a blitz of marketing done all over town, nowadays shows get greenlit and canceled without a peep from the media.
The only time I know a show is canceled and not announced is on Twitter/X, r/television on Reddit and this one thread lol.

We thought it was pretty good.
I recall ads on their networks, print ads in the paper and guest shots on talk shows. Pretty much the same as now. As for new show announcement, usually in trade or trade adjacent media. The local paper didn't usually cover it until it was close to "Premier Week".
To my recollection, cancelations were on big news headlines. Usually buried in the entertainment section of the paper. Half the time I didn't discover a show was gone until I tried to tune in.
Did he ever? (Ba dum ching) 
Yeah, isn't that weird? It seems like it's only the high-budget stuff that ever media tours. So much stuff I've never heard of, with the cancellations being the first time I've heard of them. Although to be fair, I've sometimes seen them doing media tours right when something gets cancelled. In the case of something specific which I can't remember, there was one show that got cancelled either the day before or right after. Can you say awkward? "Come watch our show... or uh... Nevermind!"
LOL yes exactly! Up until Netflix/Hulu started dominating we'd have multiple ads for tv shows both in print, moving media, tv, online like you couldn't escape the constant reminders.
But unless you are hawkeyed for your own sphere of shows like Trek, Wars or DC/Marvel you hardly know if anything "new" is coming on or not.
Shows like Succession, Yellowstone, Bosch etc are all going on for multiple seasons but I hardly ever got any ad blitz for any of these.
Hell Star Trek "returning to tv" should have been a bigger celebration back in 2017 with DSC but except us hardcore Trekkies nobody knew there was a new show coming.
He's been in the last 2 Scream movies as a 17 year old.
Even Netflix is pretty bad at letting people know about new stuff. Yes, there's the new releases section showing new TV shows and movies and top 10's of each, but because they have so much new stuff every few weeks, it's almost impossible to keep up with it all, so lots of stuff just gets buried and cancelled. And it's frustrating to hear a show get cancelled before I even get a chance to get to it. And the other issue is that if a show does get renewed, it usually takes so long for a new season to come out that I've forgotten what happened in the first season. There was one instance of a show I liked and couldn't wait for a new season, and by the time it did release, I ended up giving up on it because the recap was awful at recapping what was important and lost interest.
