Eh. I stopped watching years ago. I got so sick of Carrie's shit. No matter how much I love Mandy Patinkin and his performance as Saul, I couldn't take any more of that.
And the Next Cancelled Show is...
- Thread starter Guy Gardener
- Start date
Then you've never seen Carrie is in a full manic episode where she is citing loudly how fantastic she is at mothering while CPS is ziptying her wrists and ankles.
After the unwatchably bad third season it's just what the show needed.
From TVbythenumbers.....
The news of the “Shooter” cancellation comes just a few weeks after USA said goodbye to another one of its original series, the sci-fi title, “Colony.” However, the network has also made another big push in developing its programming lineup, with USA handing out series orders for a total of 4 new titles, including a spin-off set in the same universe as the “Jason Bourne” films.
So Shooter and Colony are canceled so they can make Jason Bourne TV show without Jason Bourn?

Netflix has cancelled talk shows The Break With Michelle Wolf and The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale after less than a year, according to our sister site Variety.
Disappointed The Break with Michelle Wolf was canceled. It wasn't an instant break-out, but I enjoyed it for the most part and it had a lot of room to grow on. I'm sure Wolf will land on her feet wherever she goes, even if it's "just" going back to stand-up.
At least they're not ending it with the ending we got this season.
Bummer. Enjoyed both shows, and Michelle Wolf in particular had some very intelligent satire. Her "Ice Is" bit was especially brilliant, and scared FOX News enough to do a hit piece about it.
Well, let's see what else Netflix will try to replace Chelsea Handler's show with.
We already know that Hasan Minhaj has a new show coming out in October called Patriot Act, so probably that.
Maybe these political talk shows just aren't meant to be. I think on some level people only have time for a few of these kinds of shows in their watch rotation and I am guessing Daily Show,Samanta Bee,Bill Maher,John Oliver etc are already doing that. They aren't like tv shows were you can put of years before watching. These shows are very topical and thus you got to watch them almost as soon as they come out which means it's not good when you have a to many of them out their at once.

I couldn't disagree more. It all comes down to the angle and presentation. Best example is one of the newest shows, Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas, which deliberately turned its focus away from Trump and explored more local issues. The first half of each episode discussed a variety of issues in short bits and the second half had a season-long focus: The plethora and long-lasting issues in police departments in many cities across the country. In those segments, Cenac traveled to the city and interacted directly with the police department, local community, and any other relevant bodies.
I think the problem with Michelle Wolf's show was a lack of focus. While I appreciated her very deliberate attempt not be so reactionary to everyday news and Trump in particular, she didn't seem to have much of a direction. Her best material was just an extension of her stand-up.
I still need to watch that special but I've always been very impressed by his work, both with and without The Daily Show (such as the White House Correspondents' Dinner, variety of interviews, etc.) and I trust his new show will continue to do that great work.
I imagine Minhaj's show will be weekly like Wolf's and Handler's shows were.

Didn't know about that one. Sounds really good, I'll make sure to check it out.
Yeah, that's fair criticism. On the other hand, she only got ten episodes, for a weekly talk show that's barely enough to find its footing.
The special is more private memories, no political satire. At least the twenty minutes I watched before I turned it off. Not that it was bad, it just wasn't for me. You might feel quite different about it, so, yeah, check it out.
Sooner or later I bet they are able to coax John Stewart out of retirement to do one of these kind of shows. I did watch the Sarah Silverman show on "Hulu" and that was good though I did watch about 6 months or so to late thus it had some dated stuff to it. It was also weird to see the Louie C.K news happen in the middle of the season because the show wasn't about reporting the news of the day and so forth and also a little weird in I think this happened not to long after she did a interview with Al Franken.
