Not too many cancellations going on right now, as the nets are preparing to air their usual summer garbage, reviewing their options for existing shows & contemplating new ones, while scrambling for sponsor money for their new seasons.

Loox as if s'more shows got cut as the summer junk-TV season looms.

Biggest chop is CBS' 2 broke Girls, which didn't have horrible Neilsens. And, there's the inevitable whittling -down of crime-procedural shows, as the airwaves were becoming saturated with them. Latest to fall are NBC's the Blacklist: Redemption & ABC's American Crime,, along with Notorious & Conviction.

There are others. I'll report them as I verify the accuracy of reports of their demises. (I don't follow the network-ettes too closely.)

Did anyone watch Pitch on Fox? Saw where that didn't get renewed for a second season, I was pretty disappointed it was a really good show.

Yeah, Chieftain, I watched it some. Unfortunately, no matter how good a show is, if it doesn't have the Neilsens, it gets axed.

Some recent cancellations by the major nets include some police/procedural shows, as that genre was becoming overcrowded. They include Chicago Justice (NBC), Shots Fired(Fox), & Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders(CBS). Also getting the chop was CBS' The Odd Couple, whose re-incarnation didn't have the charm of the original.

NBC has dumped The Carmichael Show; it just wasn't too funny & the Neilsens doomed it. Same for ABC's Downward Dog. Just cuz a show was successful in Britain doesn't mean it will be here. (Different cultures, different performers, scripts, etc.)
