Cancelled! Place Your Bets
- Thread starter Starbreaker
- Start date
I've lost my ability to curse shows by liking them - the ones I like best this year (Once Upon a Time and Grimm) seem pretty safe.
That's because I'm not watching them!
Oh you're the one who's been blocking my show-killing radiation! 
The Force must be very strong with you, because I used to have an almost perfect track record. For instance, I believe I am single-handedly responsible for the near-total extinction of space opera on TV.

Oh, ya mean all the shows I watched too?
I'll flip ya for responsibility for Farscape.
You can get Farscape if I get Firefly. 
And me as well. Fifteen is actually several episodes more than the abbreviated season I've been hoping for.
CBS is actually a popular network, so I picked all the weakly rated shows that don't have prestige, which leaves just The Good Wife and (I think it's widely respected) Rules of Engagement as survivors.
For ABC, Body of Proof is its only handle on "cop" show audience as yet, an audience it should like to take away from CBS. Private Practice may be low rated in total numbers but it's at least mediocre in the demo, usually at least neck and neck with The Mentalist. But most importantly, it makes Shonda happy.
I picked all CW shows because they should all be canceled for ratings. And unlike CBS, CW can't afford ratings losers like Gossip Girl for the sake of audience good will.
For Fox, I picked only Fringe to survive, because Anna Torv is Rupert Murdoch's niece. Terra Nova has a certain amount of cachet but it's too bloody expensive for the ratings. Fox isn't even classy enough to run a full schedule of programs, screw cachet.
Unlike the CW, which has never had an audience, NBC has its reputation as a real broadcasting network to keep, and that's pretty much it's last asset. Therefore it can't afford to throw away what shreds of respect it can claim. Therefore Community and Smash survive.

Cougar Town is gone, Community will get a 4th.
Whitney and 70s Show Girl Show are DOA.
Any new Fox show, and Fringe can die at any time.
I voted what shows I thought were going to be axed, not necessarily that I wanted them axed.
I know that pilots don't define a show, but I didn't want to watch a second episode of Rob.
I'm liking Whitney more, but like the lead character the least. I hope the character will grow over time. Love Alex--is that his name--and the friends.
So is Community cancelled or not, or on hiatus.

"Community" returns on March 15 from the long hiatus.
I doubt it. From what I've read they barely know each other and she doesn't like him all that much. I think that they're only related because her father's sister was married to Murdoch.
You think Fringe's concept got it its plum position its first year. I'm surprised to hear this.
And then its ratings have kept it on air. I'm very surprised to hear this, even if license fees were lowered.
And no one at Fox is afraid of offending Rupert Murdoch, because he's not supposed to be close to Torv. If I worked at Fox, I would be afraid to piss off Murdoch's poodle. I am extremely surprised to hear that Fox is a fair workplace, run by closest attention to performance save for its institutional ethic of fairness.
I really must try to cultivate a realistic view of the television business.
In season 2 she said he never even met him.
