Sucks about The Millers. I thought it was an alright show that wasn't just horrible and crude sex jokes for 30 minutes like a few of the Chuck Lorre comedies have devolved into.
Oh wow.
I didn't see this coming at all, I thought CBS would run that show for 5-6 seasons.

TVBTN was just so douchey about asserting that The Millers was gonna get renewed, so this is basically the best thing that's ever happened.

They haven't even posted the news to their site yet. Probably on purpose.

Cancellation Bear @TheCancelBear
The fact that #TheMillers was canceled isnt nearly as interesting as *why*, maybe the TV media will surprise the bear and find out
Aka "Please let there be a behind the scenes reason for this so I don't look like a complete fucking idiot"

"#TheMillers ratings go even lower, but CBS will get it to s4 if its the last thing they do"

Exactly. They look like fools right now.
Obviously shows get canceled every year. It's more the self righteous tone.
So, I lol at this.
To be fair, the Bear has always been pretty upfront about the fact that there are always wrenches that get thrown into the system. In this case, I'm guessing the costs were high cast-wise, and their read on the syndication market/creative trajectory/cast morale of the thing meant the writing was on the wall. But the Bear doesn't know any of that, and doesn't care to know any of it, and he's content with that (hence his clear efforts to distinguish between his work and that of the "TV media").
The difference in this case was the aggressive claims to syndicationitself a "new" metric for the Bear, something he had failed to work into his decision-making before he got embarrassed by itsaving the show. It doesn't invalidate the Bear's overall philosophy, but it embarrasses him for his posturing at the very least. I'll take it.

For the record, I'm also shocked that The Millers got the axe this early. But my problem with TVBTN and the Bear isn't the prediction itself, it's how arrogantly the prediction was communicated.

So you're saying it was off-brand for CBS?

Will ABC renew Castle? I know it's doing ok rating wise, but i dropped it at season 5 and heard it's not getting better. I'm interested in it, because i want Nathan Fillion to do something new. So if ABC cancels Castle, or if Fillion leaves because his contract is up, which is unlikely, it means he'll do something new.
Somebody had to say it.

CBS has bona fide hits in Scorpion and NCIS: Scott Bakula's Tokyo Drift in New Orleans. I think you are going to see, very unfortunately, the cancellations of Person of Knterest and Elementary.

I will cut you, Rafa.
I actually caught an ep by accident the other day/week and it kinda liked it. Probably because the characters actually had things to do.

I occasionally catch episodes of it at the gym. I actually like it quite a bit.

Constantine down to a 0.8. So it's basically doing Dracula numbers, without the benefit of the reduced cost of being a co-production.

Why did they cancel Dracula?
CreeperBlocks
Banned
Yeah... I don't think Constantine will last long. I dropped it after the 3rd episode. It's not great IMO. Maybe i'm just so used to Keanu Reeves's Version.

Oh well at least it means JB Smoove will be back on Real Husbands of Hollywood.
Constantine is enjoyable, but its the weakest of all the DC shows.

Fun fact: the last episode of SHIELD pulled the same rating as the last episode of The Millers (1.5).
I doubt it's in imminent danger just yet - the Marvel synergy, DVR ratings, and predominantly male audience on a predominantly female-oriented network all probably give it some cushion - but how much further can ABC allow it to drop?
And it frees up his schedule to do another season of Curb.

They'll keep it on the air until 2018 to build to that inhumans crossover...
But I'm curious to see what happens with Agent Carter, if it proves to be a better performer, do they drop SHIELD for it or do they keep bundling them together

Why would they drop SHIELD for Agent Carter in any circumstance?
Because SHIELD doesn't perform well, and if Agent Carter does... why not keep the show that does?
I mean I'm just speaking in hypothetical

Wasn't Dracula initially gonna be renewed but some behind the scenes shenanigans ensued? I remember word coming that a renewal was imminent and then it got canceled.
Jest Chillin

I mean, they can cancel SHIELD for whatever reason.. but I don't see why it would be looked at as one over the other.
What I'm saying is, SHIELD getting cancelled should be because SHIELD isn't doing well. Agent Carter doing well or not should have no influence on SHIELD staying or going.

I don't see much chance that Agent Carter gets better ratings than SHIELD. It's just too closely associated with the SHIELD "brand," as it were, to draw a significantly different, let alone larger, audience.
Oh I guess my thinking was they occupy the same place this season
(Tues at 9pm)
But yeah, not worth the comparison especially now.
There are very few certainties in television. Their model assumes many things that make no sense.
Take this week: They've moved Marry Me down to likely canceled because it only received 5 more episodes instead of 9. Not receiving 22 episodes isnt great, but there's no reason to assume that, at this point, that signals something in May. If the show was in fact headed towards imminent cancellation, it wouldn't have received any back order. It would've been canceled.
That's one of those things where you look at it and go ??????????, but their tone is certain that they are correct, even though they're trying to understand variables (human behavior in scheduling) that they cannot. They also have the worst clickbait headlines.
It's a really cynical website that doesn't understand the data and industry it's supposed to be creating a predictive model for.
EDIT: another example: on their recent ABC guesses, he insinuates that because Selfie was canceled and Galavant is doing back to back episodes, Cristela must be getting canceled so Fresh Off the Boat can go there. Besides the fact that it would be insane for ABC to launch FOB on Fridays, that's not how scheduling works.
All positive.
It's a cruel rumor started by some very untoward GAFers. TVBTN says they're both a lock for renewal, so not to worry.
