And the Next Cancelled Show is...

The current president of ABC is a dumbass who has no clue what the hell she is doing.

The last guy was an idiot too, but he at least learned from his mistakes. ABC's biggest hit in the drama department in the last few years is Designated Survivor and that will have 4-5 show runners in 22 episodes.

They picked up the incredibly stupid sequel to Romeo and Juliet and then burn it off in the summer which makes no sense to me at all.

Also Powerless has been canceled.

SO did they air that Adam West episode yet? What # is it supposed to be?
 
Any word on Pitch yet?

Nope, we should know within the next 2-3 weeks. TVline says.... 'Pitch: A safe bet. Now could go either way. However TVBytheNumbers says "Likely to be canceled", so that's great news for renewal as they are always wrong. :)
 
Ah, good to know. I wouldn't be surprised if it was cancelled, but I hope it continues. It was just beginning to get good and finding the best way to explore its potential by the end of the season (aside from the unnecessary romance).

Have you seen Brockmire? It's incredibly funny if you have a sense of humour about how slow baseball is.

Also a network seems to HATE a show they got made to the point they wanted to burn it off on Netflix or Hulu (Because it's so bad they don't want it on their airwaves.). Everyone is guessing STILL Star-Crossed.

And every scripted, non-'reality' show on A&E is canceled / ended. Only non-fiction BS from now on.

I'm currently watching episode 3 of Brockmire. Funny stuff. I agree that the best new comedies are Brockmire and The Good Place. Hopefully they'll both have nice long futures.

Long in which way? As The Good Place is only 13 episodes a year and Brockmire is 8. I just want them to be decent for their whole runs and tell the story they want to tell.

And what do you think are the best new dramas? I haven't seen anything decent and want to know if I'm missing something.
 
I saw an ad on a bus stop for Hugh Lauries' "new" series on Hulu Chance, which was engaging yet very low energy. Ethan Suplee was excellent talking like a grizzeled shell shocked veteran.

You can watch the Good Fight without watching the Good Wife.

I have heard god things about feud, Young Pope, Zelda, but I personally have not indulged.

Right now, I'm binging on Murder in Paradise, where it seems they have moved on to their third male lead, Ardal O'Hanlon, which is very repetitive... And how often they have changed the lead to avoid folding up shop, reminds me of regeneration from Doctor Who.

You're thinking of Death in Paradise. Who are also onto their second female lead and their third "Sergeant/Officer", I believe (although the second Sergeant became the second female lead). The only main cast members left in Season 6 are Dwayne and The Comissioner.

S1 - Richard (DI), Camille (DS), Fidel (Officer), Dwayne (Officer)
S2 - Richard (DI), Camille (DS), Fidel (Officer), Dwayne (Officer)
S3 - Humphrey (DI), Camille (DS), Fidel (Officer), Dwayne (Officer)
S4 (1 - 4) - Humphrey (DI), Camille (DS), Florence (Sergeant), Dwayne (Officer)
S4 (5 - 8) - Humphrey (DI), Florence (DS), JP (Officer), Dwayne (Officer)
S5 - Humphrey (DI), Florence (DS), JP (Officer), Dwayne (Officer)
S6 (1 - 6) - Humphrey (DI), Florence (DS), JP (Officer), Dwayne (Officer)
S6 (7 & 8) - Jack (DI), Florence DS), JP (Officer), Dwayne (Officer)
 
The commissioner is not in every episode, and Annie from Being Human was the first female lead 2IC, who turned out to be a dirty cop... Although ironically I think the first female lead (Katherine's daughter) was an undercover cop that "the team" was chasing, and she was assigned to the TV show as a regular at the end of the episode.

I was talking about regulars - and Lenora Crichlow was never a series regular, she was only in the premiere. And whilst the Comissioner is not in every episode, he's still deemed to be a series regular on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/5NBydTwDZryNHPG17f3lLBp/characters
 
My two favorite new (pre-season 2) dramas are the Netflix sci-fi shows Travelers and 3%. I've heard good things about The Good Fight, but I don't have a CBS Access subscription.

Try Club De Cuervos - it's not dubbed, but it's subtitled and highly addictive.
