So, what cancellations pissed you off this year?

[willsboy84]

mine are Sarah Connor, Privileged, Without a Trace and The Game

i think Privileged probably pisses me off the most. especially considering GG and BH are still going. i actually like the show, but i think it's time One Tree Hill called it quits too....

i'd only started getting into 'Trace and The Game this year, so atleast i still have reruns to watch of them.

[cityboy-stl]

I'm still pissed off about Invasion and Journeyman.

[Gussss]

I'm going to miss Without a Trace and Survivorman, although I did read where Les Stroud wanted to quit Survivorman because it was too hard on him, and he wanted to further pursue his music career. So I'm happy for him, but will still miss the show.

The game is cancelled?

Damn that sucks.

And I agree with you on One Tree Hill. The season Finale should've been a series Finale.

[Iamthegame]

Homeland Security USA and Samantha Who for me.

[pallenk]

i'm assuming swingtown got cancelled. that was an amazing show.

[MoePhoenix7]

Well at least Everybody Hates Chris was let go with somewhat of an acceptable closing. Besides I rather a show get axed before it gets desperate and jumps the shark anyway. *hint hint* The Game

But if it wasn't for America's Next Top Model, I'd boycott the C-dub for cancelling the only two black sitcoms on TV. Meh, then it's not like they have anything worth watching on that channel to boycott in the first place so I'll live.

[Travisevian]

Hmm, I can't think of any right now.

[Sammie13]

I'm still pissed off about Invasion and Journeyman.

Ditto!!! Those were two of the best. I would add, from this year, Pushing Daisies ( fyi: ABC is burning off the remaining shows starting Sat, May 30th.).

[FrankLeeMyDear]

Medium

(I'm hoping CBS picks it up)

[Sammie13]

Medium

(I'm hoping CBS picks it up)

They did pick it up. It will air this fall on Fridays following Ghost Whisperer. CBS actually owns the show and they felt it was a perfect fit with GW as lead-in.

[Gay Angel]

mine are Sarah Connor

Seconded. And I hope nothing happens to Fringe!

[NomineDetracto]

i second Pushing Daisies, such a great show!

and i'm still really, really pissed about Studio 60 getting canceled, if that counts.

[falconfan]

Pushing Daisies!!!!! Fucking ABC.... last three episode slated to air in a few weeks (tear)

[01solara]

//////////guiding light afterr 70 tears. third generation in my famiy

[ravenstar]

Pushing Daisy's has only just started on tv in Australia. I really like it.

I know it's a long time ago but I still haven't forgiven Showtime for cancelling Dead Like Me.

[tincho]

KYLE XY... Why!?

[NineOfClubs]

Most of all, Sarah Connor. What's wrong with the world?

[aijalon18]

Wait Sarah Conner is cancelled and that fuckin mess they call Dollhouse hasnt been cancelled? Sarah Conner's schedule got fucked with too much. It was doing well in it's original timeslot. It should have been paired with Fringe on Tuesday. It's not the type of show people are gonna watch on a Friday night. The Game got screwed for that same reason. At least Friday Night lights is returning. Even if it is in that DirectTV short season bullshit again.

[YeahWhatever]

I will really miss Sarah Connor. They should have at least given us a short 3rd season to resolve the storylines.

And I actually like Dollhouse (yeah, it took about 5 or 6 episodes to get good), but I don't understand why Dollhouse's renewal can't be mentioned without TSCC's cancellation.

[theReckless]

Sarah Fucking Connor Chronicles

As TV shows go, I thought it was one of the best on air at that time. I do like Dollhouse, but it's far inferior to TSCC.

Ugh, although it was of the best finales I've seen (but I need to find out what's supposed to happen next! )

[JyStar]

Connor was sent to die... which sucks.

I'm pissed about Prison Break, but not because of it's cancellation... just because of the direction the writers took it, to fuck it up.

[Linxus87]

Kyle XY...can't believe the hot mess that is "The Pregnant Teenager" outdid Kyle XY....

Pushing Daisies

Dirty Sexy Money

Kings...they should have kept it for Thursdays, because trying to have it compete against Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover, and Amazing Race viewers was pretty much guaranteeing a death. Meanwhile, the snoozefest that is Southland was picked up...

[steve621]

Pushing Daisies
My Name is Earl

[SFLMAN]

Samantha Who?

Barry Watson is hot! I hope he gets another TV series, as well as Christina Applegate. This show was one of the few sitcoms on TV that are actually funny and not stupid.
Oh Well! They always cancel the TV shows I like and leave on the ones I hate.
I liked Swingtown that was on CBS last summer. I wish HBO would pick it up. I guess it was too racy for regular TV.

[evilest]

A lot on this list are shows that do very well overseas, it makes me think that the studios give that no credence when deciding on ratings.

Thank you! I thought for a minute I was the only one who is going to miss this show. Christina is so funny and I loved the whole idea about having amnesia. I thought that was one of the most creative ideas in a long time.

I read online that they canceled the show to save money. I wonder if another network could pick up the show but I doubt it.

[aijalon18]

And I actually like Dollhouse (yeah, it took about 5 or 6 episodes to get good), but I don't understand why Dollhouse's renewal can't be mentioned without TSCC's cancellation.

I mentioned with TSCC's cancellation because they were paired together on the same night. When Dollhouse was launched there was a lot of tie-in with TSCC. Also, TSCC had a huge mid-winter hiatus for no apparent reason. It finally returned randomly with little promotion. Then there was only cross-promotion pairing Summer Glau and Eliza Dushku as "friday night vixens" and shit. It seemed TSCC was moved to friday and new episodes were held back to be a lead-in for the premiere of Dollhouse. So I'm very annoyed that they fucked with TSCC in several ways to prop up Dollhouse.

[willsboy84]

never got around to watching Samantha Who. kept meaning to though. guess i'll have to watch on dvd. bet the same thing's gonna happen with Ugly Betty. by the time i get around to actually watching it, they're gonna axe it....

i WAS really surprised to hear it was being cancelled. thought it was really popular...

That and Fox made a statement saying that they picked Dollhouse over TSCC because it was a safer bet or something.

[Chalchalero]

I am both furious and dismayed that they have cancelled "Without A Trace", arguably one of the far better offerings on network television today. It is no wonder the networks continue to lose viewers. I hope that a cable station will pick it up, as I know there are episodes playing on TNT in the afternoons, and USA picked up Law and Order CI...

[VaseFace808]

I didn't even know The Game was officially canceled...It wasn't must see TV, but I had only started getting into it via the BET reruns

But the CW never ceases to confuse me

So apart from the two Tyler Perry shows - thats it for black sitcoms? Wow.

And I also don't see the point of One Tree Hill without Lucas/Peyton. I honestly think the Season should've have been the last season - I could just never get into 5 &6. As much as I love James/Nathan - I don't see him as carrying the lead male role

[YeahWhatever]

I don't think it was the pairing of Dollhouse that did TSCC in; it was the Friday night death slot. And in the end, I don't think it was an either-or situation with these 2 shows -- they both had pretty terrible ratings. But Fox chose to save Dollhouse because Fox produces the show, whereas WB produces TSCC. They can at least make a little money off Dollhouse.

Yea but the first season of TSCC had decent ratings. My point was it seemed to have been moved to Friday in order to pair it with Dollhouse.

[YeahWhatever]

Yeah, the first season of TSCC had decent ratings, thanks to a short 9 episode season, and a huge lead in from the Super Bowl for its premiere.

The 2nd season ratings were down considerably when it was airing on Mondays. Fox chose to move the show to Fridays for the return of 24, and since American Idol came back, they had to move House to Mondays, so there was no room left for TSCC other than Fridays with Dollhouse. It seemed like a good idea to pair those 2 shows, but not that many people are watching TV on Friday nights. If it were up to me, I would have gotten rid of Fox's terrible reality programming and kept TSCC. It's too bad, because I wanted to know what happened with Catherine Weaver...

[Irish Queer]

Pushing Dasies

T: TSCC

Eli Stone

Still pissed about Invasion as well.

[Ontariobear]

This year - Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money - fuck you ABC, I see Supernanny survived though. Reaper - fuck you CW, its season ratings were virtually the same as 90210 and it got saved. TSCC got the kiss of death when it got bumped to Friday and clearly had none of the network support which saved the inferior Dollhouse.

[swmjck]

Definitely Without a Trace. Apparently not because of ratings, it's just a very expensive show to produce. Pity, it's one of the few shows I still watch on the 4 main networks in the U.S. Maybe one of the Cable Channels will pick it up ala Law and Order Criminal Intent.

[falconfan]

Well neither Dollhouse nor T:SCC belong on Friday. Fox is full of fucking dumbasses. You don't put shows targeted towards high-school/college aged people (the people who would be familiar with Terminator and Buffy and likely compose the primary audience of the shows) on FRIDAY NIGHT. Friday night is for 'family' fare and/or cop procedurals that old people like.

As far as T:SCC goes personally though... I watched it for the first few episodes and it was shit. My friends swears it got much better but I never bothered to pick it up.

[neoachilles]

Well, I guess NBC did pull the plug on Kings, which sucks ass, because I think it has a lot of potential. Then again, I never really thought it belonged on NBC in the first place. I say move it to FX and let the geniuses behind Damaged work their magic on it. Or move it to HBO or Showtime, and really push the boundaries. In any case, I'll watch the rest of the series when it comes back next month.

[Ontariobear]

Kings never got a chance in that timeslot when TAR and EMHE are both Top 25 shows.

FOX just never gets it. I'm just relieved that Fringe and Lie to Me got renewed.
TSCC was kinda good in the beginning and then slipped quite a bit this season. You are right about it not belonging on a Friday night, Ghost Whisperer, which does, killed it in the ratings. If a FOX show can't be slotted with Idol or on Animation Domination Sunday and isn't House, 24 or Bones it just doesn't stand a chance.

[HylianPride]

i'm so glad i'm not the only one peeved about sarah connor being cancelled. i guess now my only option is to contact josh friedman and ask him what would have happened.

and about the no black sitcoms on tv comments, we are getting the cleveland show on FOX in the fall. thats something at least

[FrankLeeMyDear]

They did pick it up. It will air this fall on Fridays following Ghost Whisperer. CBS actually owns the show and they felt it was a perfect fit with GW as lead-in.

That's good news (to me). I love Medium. Thanks for letting me know!

Reaper was cancelled?

FUCKING CW!!!!!!!!!!

[nickyscissors78]

Eli Stone, one of the best upbeat well written shows I use to look forward to. Yet I guess not too many thought the same. Loved the story lines and the actors.

[JyStar]

Reaper was cancelled?

FUCKING CW!!!!!!!!!!

Oh i saw that coming from a mile away LAST year.

Oh, and FOX is getting 2 black sitcoms - The Cleveland Show, and Brothers, which personally, i think is set to fail.

[Ontariobear]

FOX sitcoms that have live actors instead of animation should never even hit the airwaves.
There are rumblings that a cable network might take over Reaper and with FOX delaying the sitcom that Tyler Labine (Soc) is acting in until this is resolved and he would still be under contract to Reaper first and foremost, this is a real possiblity.

[steve621]

I liked it too. Especially liked Eli's secretary.

[JyStar]

I agree and i disagree - two of my favorite sitcoms of the 2000's were cancelled FOX sitcoms; Titus and Wanda At Large.

But yeah, most everything else - save for War At Home in the early going - was a piss poor travesty.

[ComNavFdgPk]

TV Guide posted that The Unit is also goin' bye-bye!
