Welcome to the 2015-16 TV season cancellation thread! I'm sorry to inform you, but [your favourite show here] will be cancelled, and no amount of begging for [streaming service here] to renew it will work. But you're welcome to try!

First: Why should you care? To quote Stump, from many moons ago:
Stumpokapow said:
Why care about cancellations?
- You don't want to follow a show that's going to get canned after a cliffhanger and then bitch endlessly how unfair it is that you never get to find out what would have happened.
- The faster shows are cancelled in the fall, the sooner you'll get to see midseason returning favourites and other new shows held for the midseason.
- Networks have a finite amount of time and space. The more shows get cancelled, the more pilots get commissioned, the more shows that are ordered to show, the more new shows you get to watch in the future.
- Ask yourself whether or not there are more shows cancelled before their time (OMG VERONICA MARS JOURNEYMAN JOHN FROM CINCINNATI TERRIERS FERRIS BUELLER THE TV SHOW CANCELLED BEFORE THEIR TIME!) or more shows that run years too long, spiral around the drain, decline in quality, and need to be put out of their mercy?

Remember when [your favourite show here] was still on the air and you thought it would never get cancelled?

Bring back "Go On," NBC.
 
Thanks for the new thread, Sober. I tweaked the title slightly since it wasn't fitting into the title line. Old thread is locked, as well.
 
Ctrl+F "Haven"

Come on guys. I know nobody here actually watched it but at least add it in there lol
 
There are first reviews up for most fall shows on Metacritic. Right now it is literally one review for each show. It's way too early to tell, but so far looks like The Grinder and Life In Pieces are really good, there are like 3-5 ok to good shows and everything else varies from meh to awful.
Looks like as ever, after reviews turn me off from some shows, and others i will only watch the pilot and then stop, i will be watching around 3 new shows.
 
Jesus, I hadn't realized NBC was such a graveyard last season.

They better get something out of this season, right? Feels like this is the season that the Voice collapses in on itself.

Why are Sons of Anarchy and Justified listed under cancelled? They were concluded.

For the purposes of this thread (and TV biz), there's no difference between the network ending a show and the show ending on its own terms. They're all cancelled.
 
Terrific OT, Sober. Kudos!!

Also, funny to see no casualties I care about amongst the canceled show list--except Parenthood, which came to a natural end rather than being canceled in the traditional sense. Very surprised to see that. Might be the first year it's happened since I started following TV more closely at least nine years ago.

ETA: wait, why is Coach on the canceled or ending list? I didn't think it aired....

ETA #2: Veronica Mars is another returnee. Wait. No it isn't. WTH, time flies....
 
Craig T. Nelson got paid even though Couch's revival never got off the ground. Now we have a new low which was previously occupied by Hieroglyph, unless I'm missing something.
 
Nif said:
Wait, they brought back Coach and it's already canceled?

They ordered a pilot and then - get this - the execs found the show DATED.

You'd never guess, right?

Anyways, that revival is dead, but Craig T. Nelson is still getting paid for 13 episodes! Might fine work there, NBC.
 
Great OT Sober, got to love that new thread smell.

I am also happy you placed this disclaimer here:

I need to mentally prepare for the worst. :(
 
I always love the different tittles of this thread and would like a mod to make a list in the OP as the year goes on so we won't forget some of them.
 
Great thread! Can't wait for the new TV season to begin. :)

(Also, Hemlock Grove and Getting On are both ending this season, as are Downton Abbey and Peep Show, so you may want to update the OP)
 
Great thread. I knew you'd include a Selfie picture somewhere. I wish that would have stuck around. Really grew into a fun show by the end.
 
Selfie ;_; I loved that show and I still miss it. (If you haven't seen it, it's highly recommended. Adorable rom-com that was way better that it seemed at the beginning)

Hannibal it's coming back in a few years. Mark my words. /denial

Anyway, subscribed!

Thanks for doing this, Sober! And I'll maybe pop in every once in a while, but I'm really trying not to engage with TV GAF as much anymore.

But then how will we know which show you're working on and then avoid it?
 
wait did NBC already cancel Coach?

edit: lol wow they backed out. Must be looking bleak if NBC don't want it. Sad because the original show was pretty cool when I was a kid

So if all of a sudden you Gary Whitta all your old posts we can safely assume you are writing a spinoff movie for the Drop Dead Diva Cinematic Universe?
