This thread is about cancellations and endings during the 2012-13 TV season. Early predictions can be based on which shows will be ending, which premiered to mediocre (or abysmal) ratings, and which shows anyone can't possibly imagine doing well.

These four shows are confirmed to end their run during this season:

Fringe (FOX) - 5 seasons

Gossip Girl (CW) - 6 seasons

The Office (NBC) - 9 seasons

30 Rock (NBC) - 7 seasons

I think early cancellations among new fall shows will be:

Animal Practice (NBC)
The Neighbors (ABC)
The Mob Doctor (FOX)
Made in Jersey (CBS)

Obviously there will be many more but I don't see these ones making it past the first 13.

I also could see this being the final year for:
CSI: NY (CBS)
Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 (ABC)
Body of Proof (ABC)
Private Practice (ABC)
Rules of Engagement (CBS)
Glee (FOX)

I don't see Apt23 lasting through the entire season even though I like the show

This could be the last season of Law and Order SVU. I hope not. But, it could be.

Also. I don't see Go On making it for too long. Matthew Perry's shows are normally doomed to fail. (He's had nothing make it too long except Friends)

no offesn i think they will cancle arrow i just don'tt seeing it last long time same with beauty and the beast i think that show could last

I don't think ABC's 666 Park Avenue will last either even though it's going to air the same night opposite Once Upon a Time. Horror themed shows just aren't attracting mainstream viewers, and the title alone has already caused a negative reaction from some of the radical religious special interest groups. Hopefully ABC will give it a chance. We need some genre shows on the air that aren't strictly sci-fi and cop dramas.

Please tell me that 'Two and a Half Men' will finally end in 2013.

666 isn't all-horror like say The River. 666 is a mix of sci-fi/supernatural, horror, and soap. Really fits well out of Once/Revenge.

This fall has a pretty bad crop.

I think these fall series will all be cancelled:
666 Park Avenue
Last Resort
The Neighbors
Made in Jersey
Emily Owens, M.D.
Ben and Kate
The Mob Doctor
Animal Practice
Guys with Kids
The New Normal
Revolution

Have you seen any? I don't think log-lines alone are a way of judging. I've seen all the pilots now. The dramas are mostly very good. 666, Last Resort, Nashville, Vegas, and the Fox mid-season drama The Following are top-notch. Comedies probably just Go On from fall (Animal Practice is the only real awful one, rest are OK) and I like both Family Tools and How To Live With Your Parents for mid-season.

I will read up on those shows in the TV Guide Fall Preview and make my decision

Comedies probably just Go On from fall (Animal Practice is the only real awful one, rest are OK) and I like both Family Tools and How To Live With Your Parents for mid-season.

I have a hard time believing Animal Practice is the only really bad sitcom when The Neighbors is one of the new shows. In fact, most things I've read/watched seem to point to The Neighbors and Partners as the two worst sitcoms (not defending Animal Practice, which was terrible as well). I haven't seen any except Go On and Animal Practice but I'm not sure how The Neighbors can be much if any better than Animal Practice. It looks like one of the worst shows ever.

Overall, I feel like the comedies are lame this year though I did like the Go On preview. The only ones that look remotely appealing to me besides that are The Mindy Project and Ben & Kate, and that's including midseason comedies.

I'm excited about a lot of dramas though (but it will be hard to top last year which had two of my favorites (Revenge & Person of Interest) premiere. Still, I think Nashville, 666 Park Avenue, Elementary, Vegas, and Last Resort all look promising as well as midseason's The Following and Hannibal

I have yet to watch any, but these are still my guesses.

666 Park Avenue may be a good series, but its too out there for an audience. Plus it's going against the toughest hour of football, and with a 2.6 lead in from Revenge, it has to do well.

Last Resort has no chance whatsoever. I'm going to try out the series, but ABC hasn't had any luck in the timeslot. Plus the series is geared towards males, which is a target audience ABC doesn't go after. When you go away from your target audience, it barely works.

The Neighbors looks like the worst sitcom in years. No way.

Made in Jersey will get to air all 13 episodes, but beyond that, it's gone. CBS may have a solid Friday night lineup, but new series haven't done well on the night.

Emily Owens, M.D. is the odd man out of the CW groupings. All the other new shows should do solid, but this one won't. Plus the CW has two new midseason offers, with one still needing a timeslot.

Ben and Kate has way too much competition, and Raising Hope isn't a solid lead in.

The Mob Doctor won't do well either. Bones was in the 2.0 demo range last season, so it doesn't get much of a lead in. Also working against The Mob Doctor is the tough competition.

Animal Practice didn't do too well with its special airing, so I'm not sure how it could do well in its regular timeslot.

Guys with Kids looks funny, but nothing on NBC is like it (with the exception of Whitney). The timeslot is a tough one too.

The New Normal just looks awful.

Revolution-esque series have been tried numerous times, and they never work. What makes this one any different?

I have a hard time believing Animal Practice is the only really bad sitcom when The Neighbors is one of the new shows. In fact, most things I've read/watched seem to point to The Neighbors and Partners as the two worst sitcoms (not defending Animal Practice, which was terrible as well).

Yea I'm going to give those dramas a chance. They all look pretty good but with my luck, they'll all flop. lol Ben and Kate is the only sitcom that to me looks any good. I didn't care for Go On and I didn't watch Animal Practice.

I have a hard time believing Animal Practice is the only really bad sitcom when The Neighbors is one of the new shows. In fact, most things I've read/watched seem to point to The Neighbors and Partners as the two worst sitcoms (not defending Animal Practice, which was terrible as well).

Partners and Neighbors are better than Animal Practice. Most people who are commenting on Neighbors are just basing it on the plot or promos. It's better than you think. Dan Fogelman is a good writer and produces good movies so I have confidence in him. The pilot is no where near great but it isn't terrible; it's family entertainment. If you like the style of 3rd Rock, Harry and the Hendersons and ALF, you'll like this. It's actually a good fit out of The Middle. tvcrazed, you there? I think you would agree with me since you've seen it.

NO, NO, NO, don't say that Guys w/ Kids will be short-lived! I'm looking forward to that one being my favorite comedy since The Cosby Show & Family Ties in the 80s. It seems pretty good. Anthony Anderson is naturally funny.

I have yet to watch any, but these are still my guesses.

You can't just guess like that without watching. In fact, most of your thoughts on the shows itself (not ratings) I disagree on after watching the pilots. Like Last Resoort's target is not only males. It's both.

Why can't I make guesses without viewing? I've done it in the past, and I was right most of the time.

And Last Resort is a lot different than anything on ABC, so it's very unlikely to work, no matter how good it may be.

Fair enough. Last Resort is different and many shows that were different in the past have clicked (Lost, last season's Once Upon a Time, Revenge) because they are unique and nothing like them on TV. All I'm saying is, it will appeal to both men and women. You really need to see the shows that are not part of the same old to see what they are about and who they will appeal to. I think it will be split in the middle like Lost was.

I'm not talking about people who have read the logline or seen the promos. I'm talking about critics who have seen that and every other pilot. Huffington Post did a thing with like 15-20 critics on Best New Drama, Best New Comedy, Worst New Show and Neighbors/Partners were overwhelmingly mentioned as worst new show (CW's Cult and Beauty and the Beast were also mentioned but not as much)

I'm also going to take your comments with a grain of salt since The Neighbors is on ABC and you thought Work It wasn't terrible, which it was. Like one of the worst sitcoms ever.

Why can't I make guesses without viewing? I've done it in the past, and I was right most of the time.

And Last Resort is a lot different than anything on ABC, so it's very unlikely to work, no matter how good it may be.
I think Last Resort's biggest problem is the timeslot. I'm hearing great things about it so I'm going to check it out but I doubt it makes it unless it gets moved.

Critics also hated things like ALF. 15-20 people isn't 15 million people. All I said was Neighbors/Partners are not as bad as Animal Practice. Once you see them like I have, you can compare. But for now, you're letting other people think for you. I would never do that unless I see for it myself.

Once Upon a Time and Revenge are both geared towards females though. Lost is the one male/female drama that ABC has aired in the past few years to make it to a second season. Last Resort may be a great series, but I think it's simply airing on the wrong network, and because of that, it won't get a second season.

Time will tell but I think I'm gonna be right about The Neighbors... I also hope you're not suggesting that the show will pull 15 million viewers because it won't, not even for the premiere

not that it matters though because both The Neighbors and Animal Practice will be lucky to make it to January

Once has a good number of males. It's not as much as Lost (still Lost still had more females), but it's good. There are only a few series (excluding sports) that have more males than females, such as Family Guy. Wrong network? I don't know about that. Fox is probably the only one it could work on. It's ABC or Fox. CBS doesn't air shows like this and NBC is not in a position to air this (it is 1000% better than Revolution, which was my biggest disappointment for drama pilots this season). After watching the pilot, it totally feels like an ABC drama (which is something unique and different).

Of course I'm not saying it is going to get 15 million. That is not what I said. Nor did I mention anything about ratings.

Predicting the doom of new shows before they even air is not a smart thing to do. However, we can make an exception for The Neighbors since ABC already did, by moving out of the post-Modern Family slot a good month before the season even began. Also, it looks like crap.

Partners looks terrible, but it's CBS, and terrible does well there, so...

Ben and Kate has a tough timeslot but it has been the best reviewed new comedy of the season by far, so it might have a chance.

Also why does everyone think Apartment 23 will be cancelled? It got good ratings last year.

Glee will be an interesting one to watch. Its popularity is dwindling fast.

Last Resort would never work on CBS, its most likely too serialized in nature to ever work on the procedural network.

Overall, I think a cable network would better suite the series, but that's just me.

I could see it working on FX.

(Animal Practice is the only real awful one, rest are OK) Animal Practice isn't awful by any means. I didn't care for the innuendo but it still has a lot of potential. And it is certainly unique, I don't recall any other sitcoms that are set at a vet's office. You just hate Animal Practice because you hate everything about NBC.

My picks for the 1st cancelled show on each network
ABC The Last Resort
CBS Made in Jersey
CW Emily Owens, M.D.
FOX Ben and Kate
NBC The New Normal

666 Park Avenue : Melrose Place meets American Horror Story.

The Neighbors : oddly, enough. I think this may do better than some think it will. Jamie Gertz is a great comedic actress and can probably hold this for a while, at least.

Made in Jersey: I don't know. It'll either do well or tank.

Emily Owens, M.D.: Quirky doctor whose "thoughts" narrate the show. Hmm. I liked it the first time when Zach Braff did it on Scrubs.

The Mob Doctor: It looks good but seriously, the premise is going to get tired very quickly.

Animal Practice: will do OK if they get rid of a couple cast members.

Guys with Kids: might do well. It'll reach that....well, guys with kids audicence.

Go On: I think it'll do well. At least, I want it to.

The New Normal: will either be hilarious or full of corny cliche's. We'll see. Don't we have enough shows with the token gay couple?

Revolution: will either be the next "Lost" or it'll tank.

Vegas: This looks good. Strong cast. Period piece. (the 1960's....Mad Men, anyone?)

Since we are talking about saying shows will end before they air I thought it would be fun to bring this up.

Here is what I said about The Office in 2005 (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?p=2416501).

I think it will finish off the season but it will leave in the summer and never return

I guess I was wrong :lol:

I just hope that The New Normal, The Neighbors, and (the midseason replacement) Friend Me end up tanking to the point of being cancelled after one season. Apt 23 may have gotten good ratings last season, I hope they decline this season.

I think The Office has done well simply because if you've ever worked in an office, you can identify! The kind but dumb managers and the Dwight Shrutes really do exist!

Typical formula:

A new network TV show is announced for next season, and a viewer sees the show's description (or "logline"). Then, over the summer, promos start airing before the series finally debuts in the fall. Once a viewer has known what the new TV show is about, the viewer will either like it and look forward to it (and maybe even get the chance to see its pilot) or the viewer will think the new show is terrible and starts bashing it, not even bother seeing its pilot, and hopes the new show fails and gets cancelled after a short run. In other words, he would boycott the new network TV show if he thinks it'll end up a total failure.

I have to say, Mob Doctor looks pretty cheesy from the promo's I've seen, but then again, I'm not a fan of mob dramas so I do have some bias there. It may do well but like Goldilocks said, it could get tiresome very quickly.

Nobody brought up Elementary, which is America's answer to the British hit Sherlock, a modern take on Sherlock Holmes. I think viewers who know about Sherlock but aren't able to watch the BBC version might watch this and it may be a breakout hit, but I'm sticking with the original, which PBS does air. Plus, I'm not a Lucy Liu fan and I think they only made Watson a woman so they could do a romance subplot, which I hope they won't.

Elementary is the one drama I'm actually excited for this season. I wasn't at first, but the trailers have really grown on me.

I've never seen any version of Sherlock Holmes (not even the recent Robert Downey Jr. movies) so I'll be watching with an open mind.

Everyone involved with the show have said that there won't be any romance.

The FOX TV Series The Mob Doctor drew only a 1.5 in the 18-49 demographic with 5.09 million total viewers in its debut last night. Next week, the ratings will decline and the program may end up being cancelled at midseason.

Please tell me that 'Two and a Half Men' will finally end in 2013.

Hear, hear!

I saw the first 15 minutes or so of "Go On", and just did not like it. There is just something unlikable about Matthew Perry. The episode I saw was something about his wife dying and him going to some therapy group, or something. No laughs, not interesting, nothing.

Revolution was really good although one has to suspend belief for awhile. In the show, not only does electricity die off, but anyway to make electicity, including car batteries and the like. I watched the pilot, expecting to turn it off after ten minutes but, really enjoyed the action and the story in general. It also has Giancarlo Esposito as a bad guy. It kept me watching until the end

Concerning The Neighbors on ABC, I will watch it, but the critics seem to dislike it for being too weird and not knowing what it wants to be. ABC has already lined up another show (something Tools) about a guy inheriting a hardware store.

I have not watched The New Normal, nor do I really plan to. I have read mostly negative things on the internet about the series, with the only actor who is somewhat likable is the young daughter.

Animal Practice could be really good. I would turn it more into an ensamble show, and get rid of the actress who plays the love interest of the lead. The whole owner of the hospital versus the irascable but down deep lovable doctor is very cliche'.

My choice for a veteran series that needs to be canned is The Simpsons. The show has had a helluva ride, but it has been on for 23 years and it is very, very tired, and I have not watched it at all this season. It came on when I was in college. If I had a kid in 1990, he would be watching it in college. It's not hip, no longer a cultural phenom, and it is time to hang it up.

Actually FOX could cancel all their Sunday night cartoons because I dislike all of them. Family Guy is tired like The Simpsons, and Bob Burgers is awful. What I would like to see is FOX do a Star Trek animated series and do it right and I think that would be a hit.

I think Parks and Recreation is going to be cancelled in 2013 also, partly because of The Office leaving and that it is a cult show watched by enough people on the fourth place network to get by (the internet helped it going as long as it did.) I have also read that NBC wants to get away from single camera shows and back to a more traditional format.

I did not mention CBS. Why? Because outside of Mike and Molly, I just dislike all their sitcoms and shows in general (with the exception of shows made from their news division). Mike and Molly is so plucking funny. Basically the same with FOX network. Personally, I think FOX is ran by high functioning speed freaks.

Most of what I like comes from cable outside the Big Four networks.

CBS has too many long-running series on its primetime schedule and are probably not willing to push new, fresh series, or even make room for them because of schedule congestion.

I would expect How I Met Your Mother to end after season 8 or 9 (if it returns for a ninth season, it may probably be an abbreviated one).

Also, Rules of Engagement may get cancelled after this season as well. Its star David Spade stated in a recent interview with Reuters that he expects the 13 episodes of season 7 to be the show's last. He feels like CBS treats Rules of Engagement like a mistress as they keep the show on the air while they keep searching for a good replacement.

I say first cancellation will be The New Normal. Shows that are protested due to content are normally first to be cancelled. Just saying.

As far as an older show that needs to go. Two and A Half Men. It has shark jumped so bad. And, last season should have been it's last.

No way... NBC is pretty invested in that show and it hasn't been DOA like The Mob Doctor was. I think Mob Doctor, Animal Practice, or The Neighbors will be the first one gone.

Up All Night should have been cancelled after one season, instead of being renewed for a second one. Its season two started out poorly, and UAN may be cancelled by midseason.

The preniere of CBS's new series Partners registered a 2.4 in the 18-49 demographic and 6.56 million total viewers. CBS has very high ratings and critical reviews standards when it comes to their sitcoms, so it'll probably be cancelled after one season.

I think Animal Practice will be cancelled. As much as I like Joanna Garcia-Swisher I won't watch the show again. I watched the two episodes and that was two too many.

And 2 1/2 Men should've been canceled before last season even started. The show is unfunny without Charlie Sheen.

I think Up All Night will live out its 13-episode order but it definitely isn't getting a back 9 unless there is some sort of miraculous turnaround. Animal Practice is in the same boat, but if it falls too much it might not even finish out the 13.

Partners and The Mob Doctor are dead shows walking.

I think Partners, The Mob Doctor, Made in Jersey, and Animal Practice are all in serious danger to last until November. My prediction is only 1 of the 4 does make it that long (and I would think it's one of the two CBS shows that does survive, though I'm sure none of them will make it past 13)

I think The Neighbors will join the list soon because I don't think it's 8:30pm ratings are going to be pretty. It got a good sample this past week but I don't see that continuing

Oh yeah, Made in Jersey too. I forgot about it. WHICH ISN'T A GOOD SIGN (jk i forget about CBS in general a lot of the time)

i am actually surprised that nothing has been cancelled yet - I'm thinking Made In Jersey or Ben and Kate might be the first to go.


i think
Guys with Kids and one of either Revolution or The Last Resort are probably in trouble too.

It won't be Revolution. So far it's NBC's top ranked script show.

Made in Jersey had a mediocre start with a 1.1 demo rating and 7.82 million viewers. Its second episode had a 1.0 demo rating and 6.77 million. Plus the critical reviews aren't very good. Just another series that will get fired after one season.

The second episode fell to a 0.8 demo.

How come every time Sony Pictures Television launches a new network TV show, it fails easily? The Mob Doctor and Made in Jersey got themselves in danger of being cancelled by midseason.

And Sunday nights are a graveyard slot for CBS. A show gets delayed due to football and other sports frequently, it's liable to get itself cancelled. A new way for the network to screw good shows and make them useless, and their new strategy didn't help matters.

666 Park Avenue -- Low ratings, could potentially be cancelled soon.

I will be one sad dude if The Mindy Project gets cancelled

I'm surprised "The Neighbors" is still alive!! I tried sitting through the show and it was horrible!!!

Made in Jersey is fired after two episodes. CBS has pulled it from the schedule effective immediately. A ratings flop, it is the first cancellation of the 2012-13 TV season.

My point is any new show is not going to do well in that slot.

My point is any new show is not going to do well in that slot.

Maybe not, but most shows old or new can do better than 0.8 demo and CSI: NY will in that slot. I actually think Made in Jersey was not bad... the acting was good and the cases were interesting even though it was a standard procedural. But you can't keep a show on with a 0.8 demo, even on Friday. I wouldn't mind seeing burnoffs on Sat at some point.

A 0.8 is awful on CBS no matter what time it's at. Expectations are lower on Fridays but that doesn't mean shows can get abysmal ratings and float on by. There are plenty of shows that average a solid 1.5+ average on Fridays (Grimm, Undercover Bosses, Blue Bloods, CSI NY).

I mean, Supernatural was getting 0.8s on Friday and that was on The CW! There's no way CBS could've let that fly.

FOX gave it a full 22 episode season today. Bizarre decision.
Not that bizarre. FOX really wants this comedy block to work. And Mindy Kaling is a substantial name who they aren't just going to give up on right away. It reminds me a little of 30 Rock early on - it wasn't doing well at all but NBC really wanted it to succeed so they gave it time and let it find itself. It's always nice when networks are willing to do that.

I never even heard of Mindy Kaling until last May, when The Mindy Project was picked up. I'm not quite sure what you mean by substantial, but I'm guessing if you went around asking who she was, not many people could answer. If anything, they know her character from The Office.

That's why I'm watching the show because I followed her from the Office LOL

The Office was one of the biggest sitcoms of the past decade so I would say that her being on it is pretty significant. And anyone who follows TV comedy should be very familiar with her. She's a very well-respected writer and name in comedy. Just because you haven't been paying attention doesn't mean nobody has.

It was bizarre they picked-up a full season after just two airings and not that great ratings. That was the surprising part. I thought they would wait at least 4 episodes.

Well maybe FOX's definition of satisfactory ratings are different from everyone else's LOL

I think FOX just reaaallly wants their comedy block to work. I mean they un-cancelled Breaking In last year for a 2-hour comedy block...

I've heard both shows did really well in the 18 - 34 demo too, not sure how reliable that is though.

The new midseason comedy Next Caller is not going forward. NBC scrapped it before a single episode had aired, because "it wasn't going in the creative direction that the network had been hoping for". Seven episodes were shot, but only four were produced before production was shut down; the four produced episodes will not air on NBC.

The NBC sitcom Animal Practice has been FIRED. It had mediocre ratings and reviews. Last of its 8 episodes will air 7 November, and the following week, it will be replaced by Whitney.

Surprising since it didn't have strong competition

I thought Whitney was shelved too. Guess not...

I know i will stop liking it if Her and Alex get married:lol:

The Middle, Survivor and X Factor are strong. This show was my pick for the first to be booted. I was almost right. It was the second show behind Made in Jersey.

Yep! Which means Community will be back on Thursdays to replace Up All Night, most likely...

Ha ha!

NBC's sitcoms fail again. The other new one will probably die next.

They haven't had a good sitcom since Frasier went off the air.

Whitney is nowhere near the best sitcom on the air, but its not the worst either. I'm excited for its return!

It's been suspected for awhile that ABC's Private Practice could be in its final season. The word is now official; creator Shonda Rhimes has announced that Private Practice is ending after the current sixth season.

A decline in ratings and Kate Walsh's decision to leave the series after the expiration of its current order has influenced the decision. Presumably, it was made in time for Ms. Rhimes and the cast and crew to be able to wrap up the show’s storylines in a satisfying way.

The next cancellation should be "Guys With Kids"

The next cancellation should be "Guys With Kids"That should have been cancelled instead of Animal Practice. Guys with Kids only does better because it has weaker competition from ABC.

Completely untrue but okay!

"The New Normal" looked funny. I never got around to watching it. Is it not doing well on NBC?
I'm still surprised "The Neighbors" is still standing!!!

The New Normal is doing okay. It could be better, but it could definitely be worse.

It seemed like a great premise from the previews!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not a new show. But, ABC cancelled Private Practice.

Wasn't the main character leaving at the end of the season anyway? That might've been for the best.

At the end of this season, I think Ben and Kate can be cancelled after one season and The Mindy Project renewed for next season.

The sitcom Partners has been FIRED by CBS due to low ratings.

Is The Mob Doctor gone yet? lol

Somehow it won't die!! :lol:

:rotflmao:

Gossip Girl only has five episodes left. It will be gone in a month. And I would imagine the 30 Rock series finale will air during February sweeps.

My guesses from before the season...

I think these fall series will all be cancelled:
666 Park Avenue - CANCELLED
Last Resort - CANCELLED
The Neighbors
Made in Jersey - CANCELLED
Emily Owens, M.D.
Ben and Kate
The Mob Doctor
Animal Practice - CANCELLED
Guys with Kids
The New Normal
Revolution


The only two that may get a pass towards next season are The New Normal and Revolution.

666 Park Avenue - FIRED
Last Resort - FIRED

It has been announced by The Discovery Channel that American Chopper has been cancelled. :rip:

I agree with all of this. This wasn't a very good year for new series.

Earlier in the thread I predicted 666 Park Avenue wouldn't last and I was right. I just don't think a traditional horror-themed series will cut it on a regular network anymore. Maybe if it had been on cable, it could have survived.

Today, the Two and a Half Men star Angus Turner Jones said that viewers need to stop watching Two and a Half Men. He referred to it as "filth", and said he didn't want to be on the show anymore.

This is probably a sign that Two and a Half Men can be going into "final season" status soon.

Now, Emily Owens, M.D. just got FIRED by The CW network. All 13 episodes will air.

MOB DOCTOR canceled.

The end date of 30 Rock had been announced; The one-hour series finale will air on 31 January 2013, at 8:00 ET.

ABC has pulled the low-rated Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 effective immediately, so it's essentially FIRED.

That's a shame. It's the only sitcom I watch on the network. :rolleyes:

There have been new reports that Fox has pulled "Ben and Kate" from the current schedule.

No word on official cancellation yet.

Confirmed: FOX BC has pulled Ben and Kate from the schedule, so it's essentially FIRED.

Once again. These crappy shows keep failing. When are the networks going to learn.

It has been confirmed that the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother has been officially renewed for next season (its ninth one; 2013-14), and it will be ending after that.

The NBC comedy Up All Night just put itself in danger of cancellation: Christina Applegate has announced today that she is departing the already-low-rated comedy, which is supposed to transition from the single-camera format to the multi-camera format. The transition will be an absolute failure now.

I wish Christina Applegate could have had a hit show.

The medical drama Do No Harm has been FIRED by NBC after two episodes because of disastrously low ratings.

The CW TV series 90210 has been cancelled due to declining ratings after five seasons. Series finale to air in May 2013.

Zero Hour....It's unofficially dead.

It's been pulled though.

So...FAIL!

Yea I'm going to give those dramas a chance. They all look pretty good but with my luck, they'll all flop. lol Ben and Kate is the only sitcom that to me looks any good. I didn't care for Go On and I didn't watch Animal Practice.
I wish The Cleveland Show is on the list. It deserves to go.

I wish The Cleveland Show is on the list. It deserves to go.
The Cleveland Show has effectively already been cancelled. The show has a 12 month lead-time and Fox hasn't ordered any new episodes for next season.

Due to the recent suicide of one of its co-creators, the CBS situation comedy Friend Me may be cancelled before a single episode even airs.

I wish that NBC would just spill the truth about Deception. Insiders at a few different sites I read have said that it's getting canceled and that it's being replaced with a Chicago Fire spinoff next Fall. I without a doubt cannot understand how anyone enjoyed Deception, the quality was fantastically poor.

They're probably not going to make an announcement about it. It just won't be on the fall schedule they release in May, which will effectively cancel it.

I wish Christina Applegate could have had a hit show.

Yeah, Jesse, Samantha Who? and now Up All Night. None of her shows go beyond their sophmore seasons!

Any new cancellations?

I bet NBC will have a crap ton of them this season.

The broadcast networks' spring cleaning has officially begun, and the first cancellation is... Deception. Deception just got FIRED by NBC after one season.

I'm glad Deception is through. I thought that the show was far beneath John Larroquette's level of talent.

I read on another board (a soap board) that Guys with Kids and Whitney were cancelled by NBC.

Someone was over there talking about them being canned.

The New Normal: FIRED!

http://tvline.com/2013/05/10/the-new-normal-cancelled-nbc/

Go On was fired as well, so was Rock Center with Brian Williams.

ABC fired Malibu Country, Red Widow, and Body of Proof

CBS has fired Vegas and Rules of Engagement.

TNT fired Southland (but, that's a cable network)

I've come to the conclusion that NBC just shouldn't try anymore. Change the channel to a rerun only station like Me-TV..and just die already.

They've cancelled pretty much their entire lineup...NBC=Nothing But Cancelled.
