And the Next Cancelled Show is...

Twentieth Century Fox have also decided that Empire won't be returning to production either. Episode 18 is the new series finale, and will use footage from the unfinished Episode 19. The planned series finale has been cancelled. I reckon they'll return to wrap up the storyline properly down the road.

 

Uhh... my kids watch it...and they aired it in order... this ain't high drama... so not exactly a spoiler that Henry leaves and that Captain Man gets new sidekicks

 

So Fox announces they are not making the ending of Empire and you still go 'I think they will down the line', when they just said they won't.

Yet you then spread a rumour based on nothing that The Orville is no longer making new episodes.

I honestly wouldn't want to live in your head.

 

Hmmmm... this is kinda messy. CHICAGO has been in lockdown for weeks (where Empure is filmed).... so at this point they cant do much as far as shooting anything.

The series is big enough that the sudden ending won't be enough... it will feel like an extended trailer for next week. I suspect they WILL do a REAL finale...but need to figure out how to rework everything.

We shall see....

 

I would be surprised if a Twentieth Century Fox series as successful as Empire doesn't get a continuation, in the form of a TV movie or even a revival in a few year's time.

Filming of Season 3 is done, and that is the only season planned.

 

I feel it's something they'll come back to next year or whenever Lee Daniels pushes for it. Whatever they plan is unlikely to be at FOX (the TV network) in any case.

 

Empire? Who cares. That thing's gone way past its sell-by date anyway.

 

No, it's over, Fox said so. Maybe years down the line we will get a TV movie because anything is possible, but I doubt it. My problem isn't that it won't have an ending, my problem is Fox announces it won't have a finale once things return to normal next year and then a certain someone here just goes 'BUT IT WILL!!!'

Empire is no longer a big hit show. During the writers' strike I think it was Las Vegas who knew they were going to be canceled and wrote the season 5 ending as a series finale, but it was never filmed. This is similar but TV will be delayed much, much, much longer.

 

Empire saw Castle's ending and said, "Hold my beer."

 

I think Jussie Smollett s bad writing regarding his alleged attack really killed the show. I am thinking that the ratings for the bootleg finale will determine a proper ending.

It's not the first time they would do something like that... I think of Prison Break for example

 

Is Family Guy done for the year? Do they have more episodes? I wonder how the disease effects cartoons because doesn't it take like a year to drawl things out and also isn't most of it done in places like China were who knows what is really going on with the disease since you can't trust the government to tell the truth about people with the illness.

Wonder if TV channels will run out of new episodes of shows to air.

 

At some point they will depending on how long things last which I think is longer than one month. The upside in this category though is their is already a huge surpluss of already released shows people just haven't gotten to. You could go maybe years watching new material and by that new to you both in terms of movies and tv shows by simply going with stuff already made. This isn't even including really old stuff like Black and White movies and you know I have never watched Monk or Chuck or any Doctor Who before 2005. I don't feel like I am every not going to have something interesting to watch for some time, even when the virus passes and new stuff starts getting made. I think this is one of the reasons I never get to upset when shows are bad or they go bad like say Doctor Who these last two seasons. I am not exactly going to starve for content that entertains. If show improves again then that's great. If not then oh well. Onto something else.

Well, TNG did predict the death of the medium...............

 

That’s fine. I only posted it for the handful that are receptive to it.

 

Which makes Netflix even stupider for sill canceling shows after only a month of release. We have 18 months at least until we get new shows. One of the doctors in the USA who isn't an idiot, just works for them, said she is planning on how things will be in fall of 2021.

But a $1200 check will be enough to live on by then....

And sadly Doctor Who was just taken off Amazon because it will be exclusive to HBO Max in the USA. Right when a rewatch would have been nice. I'd probably start with the Matt Smith years. It's my plan when I buy the discs of the series.

 

Most animated series have several episodes in the pipeline.
