I think I can see what a Whispers Season 2 would be about, thats all I want even if it hit a ratings low

I'm with you. I am hoping Whispers gets a season 2, I have really been liking it.

Community had a fine enough finale. It's wrong to say it was cancelled in the same vein as something like Hannibal. They ended it on their own terms. And they made it quite clear that they didn't know whether they'd want to continue with one more season or not and made it quite plain that they probably wouldn't do a season.

It had as natural of an ending as you can give a show about a college where everyone has been going for 6 years. Eventually it just gets ridiculous. At least they got to give it a finale that actually finalizes things. I'd say it ended on its own terms. It was not cancelled. The cancellation is just a formality to finalize it in the minds of the fans so people can drop all hope for another season that the creators already knew wouldn't be happening anyway.

At the time Community started - and even now - weren't/aren't seven year contracts more common? I wonder why Sony went with six year contracts instead.

i think the show ended on the best series finale it had, out of the three that were intended to be series finales. it wasn't rushed like 3's, and it wasn't bland like 4's. season 6's ending had the most sincerity to it, and was satisfying for it.

 

[Patryn]

The thread said Yahoo cancelled it. That implies poor ratings or lack of interest.

Yahoo didn't, the actors did. That implies the actors are tired and ready to move on.

In a way Yahoo did, by not being willing to pay the higher salaries for the actors.

Public Morals posters are kinda awesome.

 

[berzeli]

Public Morals posters are kinda awesome.

They aren't "kinda awesome", they're absolutely fucking fantastic and I want them all. Too bad that the series itself reminds me a lot of Mob City which wasn't particularly good.

Yeah. I'm not sure if it will be good. We'll see. But the show interests me.
Also it looks too digital and clean, and it needs a bigger budget.

 

[mrklaw]

That's because they came to a natural end.
Community did not.

finale made me cry. I consider that a decent enough end.

 

[Danthrax]

Damn, those Public Morals posters have great visual design. Hopefully the show will be just as artful.

Is Community the most cancelled and saved to be cancelled show?

Yahoo was eager to make another season but actors greed got in the way. I guess we know now why they all stuck around so long, it was for the money.

Those greedy bastards, daring to want a raise after six years of working on an extremely low-rated show.

 

[Future]

Community was on yahoo? Ha, didn't even know yahoo had any videos at all. I don't think I've ever seen anything on yahoo

 

[berzeli]

Oh, I probably should have mentioned why I love those posters so much;

Really clever of them. I guess that the last on is:

But they kind of dropped the ball on that one.

 

[Jigorath]

Community did not.

It had a pretty natural ending.

Family Guy had a good run of cancellations and returns early on.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Public Morals posters are kinda awesome.

Very slick!

 

[ivysaur12]

Cerie Xerox is in a new show?!

Also, the main poster for Public Morals:

And, like, wasn't this show on also on TNT a few years ago? And called Mob City? What's the difference? (I realize there's actually a difference because these are two different shows, but, c'mon).

 

[RatskyWatsky]

One is set in the 40s and one is set in the 60s!

At the time Community started - and even now - weren't/aren't seven year contracts more common? I wonder why Sony went with six year contracts instead.

I want to say 6 is a standard because even the modern Star Trek shows had 6 year contracts for the actors (which is why Terry Ferrel was able to leave DS9 for Becker).

 

[ivysaur12]

6 seasons for actors has been standard for a while. 3 for writers.

Hrm, that probably explains why some shows have that awkward transition phase when the show seems successful but they end up replacing writers in spite of that.

Nah, not really. It's not like you have to keep anyone for 3 years or that people necessarily need to stay if they don't want to (though that gets a bit dicier).

 

[Col WillieSharp]

Anytime a show ends it's considered cancelled. The details don't change the terminology.

Jerry Seinfeld would have words with you.

It baffles me that people are still sad about Communitys cancelation after Season 4 and 5...

Season 5 was good to great and 6 kept that upward trajectory.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Season 5 was good to great and 6 kept that upward trajectory.

It was absolut horrible, by far the worst season and even season 4 was only saved by the darkest timelime episode.

 

[firehawk12]

Ahh, I guess that's probably the easier answer to why staff changes happen. lol

It was absolut horrible, by far the worst season and even season 4 was only saved by the darkest timelime episode.

I don't have a comment on the quality of the show, but Dan on his podcast made it seem like he was ready to be done with the show as he was working on it.

 

[beat]

Cerie Xerox is in a new show?!

I thought I was a big 30 Rock fan and I'd totally forgotten that was her last name.

 

[Sober]

Wait, I thought Katrina Bowden only existed to be a joke character in everything, she has a serious role? Now I'm intrigued.

 

[danielcw]

I thought I was a big 30 Rock fan and I'd totally forgotten that was her last name.

IIRC it was never mentioned on screen. Only in a deleted scene from season 2.

 

[maxcriden]

Wasn't that S3? Or was there an episode "set" there in S4?

 

[Mass_Pincup]

I completely agree, everything after season 3 is shit to me, couldn't even bother to finish the last season and it was my favorite Tv show at one point.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

The yahoo season was amazing.

 

[ivysaur12]

I thought I was a big 30 Rock fan and I'd totally forgotten that was her last name.

It's one of my favorite jokes on the show, which is saying something.

 

[dead souls]

The yahoo season was amazing.

I'd expect nothing less from Yahoo! Screen.

It's one of my favorite jokes on the show, which is saying something.

Trying to decide my favorite 30 Rock joke would be like trying to decide which of my children was my favorite if I liked kids and anybody wanted to procreate with me.

 

[Steelyuhas]

And if you managed to have hundreds of kids

Edit: Was Katrina Bowden 17 when they started 30 Rock??

 

[Corpekata]

That Public Morals cast is screaming cancelled after 3 episodes. Just missing Jerry O'Connell.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Jerry Seinfeld would have words with you.

https://youtu.be/NZfUgVSfKdQ

So Seinfeld getting annoyed with Larry King somehow changes the technical terminology?

 

[VanWinkle]

Community seasons 1-3 were by far the best (and the only ones that are full seasons; don't know if that played a part or not). 4 was terrible, 5 was mediocre, and 6 was good. I loved the show but I'm ready for it to be done.

 

[Hamlet]

It was absolut horrible, by far the worst season and even season 4 was only saved by the darkest timelime episode.

Please the darkest timeline episode from season 4 was easily one of Community's worst episodes.

 

[Cornballer]

Too...much...television...

 

[Sober]

And only Ratsky has watched them all

 

[ivysaur12]

And only Ratsky has watched them all

Hahaha

 

[Dan]

I would assume 2015 will top last year by a healthy margin with nearly 5 months left to go. It really is insane.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

[Kabouter]

I can't imagine stump is far behind him

 

[TheAbsolution]

I can't imagine stump is far behind him

Hey, Don't leave me out of this!
Granted, I don't keep up with all the shows i watch but I'll try most things.

 

[dead souls]

Insane is right. I keep telling myself I'll cut back on some of the shows I watch but I almost never do.

Spitters are quitters, and I certainly wouldn't want to strike anyone as a quitter.

Is Community the most cancelled and saved to be cancelled show?

Probably The Killing or Unforgettable, right? At least for the last decade or more. Both were outright cancelled twice and came back.
