2017-18 TV Season Cancellations: Guess which woman's late night show got cancelled

Welcome to the 2017-18 TV season cancellations thread! I'm so sorry for the thread, but as we all know, if you cover President Donald J. Trump, it will definitely help your ratings. Bad for America, sure, but great for ratings! Did I fall behind on certain shows because I was too busy enthralled by the disaster that is The Trump Administration? Well, I guess I'd be lying if I said I didn't.

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?

Excellent OP and subbed.

Didn't realize Pitch died. I heard it was pretty good but never checked it out myself.

Downward Dog...lol I don't see why that made it to air.

Does Fox give Orville time out of respect for McFarlane, or does it die early?

At this point, I figure its best chance to avoid cancellation is due to not airing because of NFL overages or something.

Depends on if they're committed via international sales.

9JKL won't have that luxury, as sitcoms don't sell abroad until they get renewed nowadays.

Ohh man. Fall TV is happening and fast! Cable and streaming are coming back sooner than I expected with You're the Worst (FXX), The Mindy Project (Hulu), and Broad City (Comedy Central).

I'm very much looking forward to this season, especially since we all need something to take our minds off of the real world.

Great OP as well, Sober!

RIP The Blacklist Redemption and Screen Queens. ;_: There were dozens of us that watched those shows and stayed loyal to the end. I loved the editing/cinematic style of the former as it reminded me of comic books a lot whereas the latter was resolved in a way that it was a satisfying conclusion. I'll miss Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, and co on the small screen this fall as they will leave a void in my heart. I also appreciated the behind the scenes insights that TJBennett would provide. I hope he got a gig on a new, promising show.

I'm also a bit bummed out at Frequency getting canned even though I mostly kept it on as background noise. The main actress did a pretty solid job methinks.

Good riddance to 2 Broke Girls although we live in the age where Young Sheldon is a thing. CBS may be creatively bankrupt but as long The Big Bang Theory is a thing, I think we'll be getting spin-offs for years to come. Gotta milk that Chuck Lorre cow dry.

I'm personally looking forward to the return of the CW superhero shows, The 100, Riverdale S2, and Supernatural. Hopefully Super Girl and The Flash return to form this upcoming season because Arrow S5 was incredibly good from beginning to end with DCLoT S2 right behind it. I don't know how Arrow S6 is going to be able to top itself but I remain hopeful.

They spent way too much money on it so I don't see them pulling it off the air. Even if it's a mega bomb, I think it'll still finish its run (maybe on Saturdays).

Best cancellation of the year. Performative male feminists are almost always secretly creeps.
I knew I was right about Dollhouse being sexist garbage. Yep still not letting that one go.

Agreed. Shows almost never get pulled before their initial order is done anymore, I'm sure it will air somewhere.

Braindead, the show that would go on to be the correct predictor of the 2016 election. :(

Oh god I just realized what the title of this thread refers to. TV was a mistake.

Almost everything finishes it's run these days. How many shows were outright cancelled last year, was it more than 5?

Noooooooo. I like Dark Matter. Syfy had been my go to for guilty pleasure shows for the past frew years. I hope they don't start moving away from sci-fi shows again.
