"Cancelled" I think in this instance is not really appropriate. It reminds me how many misuse the term "reboot" as a term for any sequel. They are getting a set end point . SNW is their flagship show. They have been given multiple seasons renewals at a time similar to popular British shows...

I mean, the best-case scenario is to let a show end on its own merits, when the original showrunner wants it to wrap up. Nothing is worse than when the creative team for the original show is pretty much done, wants to fold up, but the network figures there's still some juice left, so they want...

Almost all tv shows are canceled. People treat it as if it's an exceptional failure or disgrace.

No, it's not. Per Wikipedia:

When your show is given a truncated fifth season, that’s being cancelled.

I really wish people would stop misusing the word "cancelled" as a synonym for "not continuing".

Actually she does. On page 190 of my paperback copy of Star Trek Lives!, she mentions that while talking to GR he said the NBC had just passed "on their option for two additional programs for this season." This season meaning the 3rd. And she goes on to quote GR: " 'I just told Bill and he was...

True, and Ryan was probably pitched after filming ended, which would have been even sooner. I also seem to recall Stewart saying he was approached about a Picard movie, which is not very likely to happen anymore. As for Kurtzman, the reasons given by people who want him out will differ, but I...

The article dates from November. Things have changed since then. SNW is now being cancelled after five seasons (just as I predicted it would). Is Alex Kurtzman even going to have a job after the merger closes next week? The anti-Kurtzman brigade is no doubt creaming themselves over the...

5 seasons seems to enough for these streaming shows.

I wondered why they were canceling this show years in advance. Now I don't wonder anymore.

That reminds me of the people who were loudly critical of the fact that UPN canceled Enterprise but renewed Veronica Mars even though Enterprise had higher ratings, totally oblivious to the fact that they could make four episodes of Veronica Mars (disclaimer: I pulled that number out of my ass...

If Desi (Tony) is married to Lucy (Ida) the red head, is the studio Desilu renamed to (Tonida, Idaton, Tonyid, Tonyida, Idatony, ....) ?

I was thinking that the guy in the tub was more about the faceless executives at NBC that made the cancellation orders.

There's Tawny Newsome's Trek sitcom still in development.

None of the above are going to be greenlit. Some of those things aren’t even things. It’s not even being ‘offered.’ It’s just Goldsman desperately and pathetically trying to keep his job. Right now the only official production that hasn’t been cancelled is SFA. That’s it. There is nothing...

Oh yes, I still have that book, though I haven't reread it in ages. Yeah, if there ever was any consideration of doing more episodes or letting Shatner direct one, it was probably far more tentative or hypothetical than current lore would have it.

Yeah. Joan Winston detailed her week-long set visit to "Turnabout Intruder." She chatted with all the actors, was there at "wrap" when stage hands started tearing down the Enterprise sets, and she never mentioned any canceled "next episode" that Bill was supposedly about to direct. Edit...

Probably twenty-six different “Cancel Kurtzman and Reinstate Gene’s Vision” petitions, each with sub-1k signatures.

I agree with your overall premise, but here’s where I’d differ slightly. Yes, Star Trek was a successful brand by 1986 — but it was a very specific kind of success. What was known to work was the TOS formula: Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. That’s the version that had been thriving in syndication and...
