And the Next Cancelled Show is...
- Thread starter Guy Gardener
- Start date
They were supposed to be doing a back door pilot for an Equalizer spin off (ep16 of the current season iirc) but if the show is on the bubble it might not be a good sign for any related series.
But then I bailed on the show early in the current series so have no idea what's been happening.
Equalizer spinoff not happening.

That probably explains last Sunday's episode.
Queen Latifah was hardly in it; instead, the episode centered around Titus Welliver and his daughter.
The only reason I ended up watching was I saw Titus Welliver while flipping though the channels and stopped to watch; otherwise, I would have flipped by it.
I felt that way about Big Door Prize. Ended on a cliffhanger with zero answers.
Yes! I adored that show and really wanted to know what was going on.
That's Page 2 of the "Streamers Guide to Streaming" textbook from the class that all these (streaming) network executives have to take.
HBOMax is set to remove 700+ seasons of scripted television from its streaming platform beginning today and wrapping up by the end of the month.
WTF??? Is there a link for that story?
and the industry wonders why people pirate.
When Universal inexplicably aired NuBSG in the UK, early during its production run (post-2003-pilot on Sky network I think?) a full week before it showed on SciFi in the US, I recall that it was one of the top most pirated shows on the P2P Torrent distribution nodes. I personally wouldn't know any of the details about that particular element of technology.
They were scratching their heads and wondering why their ratings numbers were tanking so bad that season. I think the sponsors were pretty pissed, but I can't clearly remember if they fixed it before that season ended or got it straightened out by the following season. Others may have a clearer memory of that time, but I remember it was a pretty foolish decision they made.
CBS has cancelled The Equalizer and there are no plans to shop it around. Disappointing - I was hoping for one more "goodbye" season.
It was actually worse than that, the first season of Nu BSG aired in the UK three months before it did in the US, the UK run was October 2004 to January 2005, the US run was January to April 2005. It was fixed for subsequent seasons so that the episodes aired in the US first, although SyFy (yes, I'm using the modern nomenclature for convenience sake) dropped the ball just as bad with the Stargate shows.
Sky in the UK also aired Stargate SG-1 months before SyFy aired them in the US, though to be fair to SyFy in this instance, that was an arrangement that was decided back when SG-1 was still on Showtime which SyFy was basically saddled with when they bought the show. Still, it got pretty bad with the second half of SG-1's final season, where in addition to Sky airing those episode in Britain three months before SyFy did in the US, the Space channel in Canada also aired them before SyFy as well. Only by a matter of days, granted, but that still means by the time SyFy did air them, they were the literal last to do so.
Even more perplexing was Stargate Atlantis. Though those seasons began on TMN in Canada at roughly the same time they did on SyFy, TMN ran all twenty episodes of the season over the course of twenty weeks, whereas SyFy did a midseason break of a few months after the tenth episode. As a result, by the time the second half of the season began in the US, the entire season had aired in Canada.
I dunno. I get that internet piracy was still relatively new at the time, but that stank of a serious refusing to update with the times. Though even that's nowhere near as bad as CBC in Canada with the first four seasons of Doctor Who, which they were co-funding yes aside from the first season (which aired in Canada ten days after airing in the UK) sat on the episodes for six months or longer after they aired in Britain. Even worse, the excuse for this delay was that as the years went by, there was a significant turnover in CBC's top executives and the new ones were somehow unaware they were funding Doctor Who. Which doesn't add up, since someone at CBC was somehow able to postpone the DVD releases in Canada until after they were done airing the seasons meaning we had to wait several months after the DVDs were available in the US. And no, that wasn't a typo, I really did mean to say United States.

^ Yeah, I'd naturally expect the country of origin to hold original viewing rights, but that clearly isn't always the case.
And speaking of Canada, some weird things occur here since sometimes we don't even get to see what gets produced in our own Country.
