This is the official SitcomsOnline Thread about the Cancellations and Endings of the 2016-2017 Network TV Season. Early predictions can be based on which shows will be permanently gone from new episodes after this season, which new series premiered to mediocre (or abysmal) ratings, and which new shows anyone here can't possibly imagine doing well.

Three programs are already slated to end their original runs after this season: Bones (FOX, 12 seasons); The Vampire Diaries (The CW, 8 seasons); and Grimm (NBC, 6 seasons).

My pick for first cancellation of the season is Notorious. It will go fractional and be pulled after episode 2.

I'll go with Kevin Can Wait. It is simply awful.

I'll go with Kevin Can Wait. It is simply awful.you can say that again its like warmed over stew everything on it has been done before and much better

You're both very wrong about Kevin Can Wait.

I predict the remake of MacGyver will be gone in a couple of months. Remakes of TV shows are usually a bad idea and I never watch them. The original MacGyver was cheesy enough on its own so I can only assume this one is just going to be awful. And I don't think The Designated Survivor will last the TV season either. It's too ridiculous.

Ed.I like Designated Survivor, it is so far my favorite new show this season. And last night it won its timeslot with a 1.8 demo for the 2nd episode.

I will say The Real O'Neal's may get the ax this year. I'm no fan of modern sitcoms, but this show looks very dumb!

I agree. Enough of the stupid fathers!! Time to put this stereotype to sleep once for all!!

Is it me or...has sitcoms become more ****tier?

Is it me or...has sitcoms become more ****tier?
No you're not alone in thinking this way, I've gotten so used to the multi-cam sitcoms with no laugh track that when I do get around to seeing a modern single camera sitcom with laugh track it just sounds so phoney and forced.

The Big Bang Theory gets away with it I don't know how or why because it seems the stupid audience is laughing at every stupid thing being said.

I'll go with Kevin Can Wait. It is simply awful.

Kevin Can Wait is HORRIBLE! Pure crap.

MacGuyver remake is also terrible.

Notorious is DOA.

Exorcist may be on its way to getting the axe, same with Notorious.

one show i think will fail is frequency!! it was an movie that stared passion of christ & person of interest jim caviezel but its girl instead of an guy!! its about this fire fighters dad who they talk to each other on hand radio!! then they talk to each other before he dies!! the new one looks good!! i just don't see it lasting long! i hope it does good!! i really liked the movie frequency!! instead of an guy its girl then instead of colors in the sky its Lighting hit the radio Attened!! then instead of fire fighter its an cop that gets killed! then another one is called no tomorrow!! its sousse pd to be about the last days then this guy meets this girl then they fall in love then they go out do all these crazy stuff like extreme sports & different stuff !! i just don't see it lasting long!! i also don't see time after time lasted long!! it was an movie about hg wells that goes after jack the ripper!! but it was an 1979 movie i rented it on netflix it was more love story then time travel show!! but i guess they can make it different!!

My pick for the first cancellation of the 2016-17 season is Conviction.

This legal drama on ABC Network airs on Castle's old timeslot. It's getting lower ratings and viewership from Castle's last season in 2015-16, and its critical reception was poor.

I'll go with Kevin Can Wait. It is simply awful.

I have to agree. I had really hoped it would be a funny sitcom because we so desperately need some good sitcoms.

I like Designated Survivor, it is so far my favorite new show this season. And last night it won its timeslot with a 1.8 demo for the 2nd episode.

Designated Survivor is the only new show we're watching.

I don't think Son of Zorn will last the same with the real Oneal's.

The CW Series Reign is to End its Run After Four Seasons:

Girl Meets World is officially cancelled.

It's already January 2017 and we still do not have the first official new-show cancellation of the 2016-17 season, not counting any new shows' episode order reductions and/or just ceasing production after the new show's initial episode order is finished.

Doubt, a legal drama on CBS starring Katherine Heigl, has been pulled from the CBS schedule after only two episodes, effective immediately. Can we count this as the first official cancellation of the 2016-17 TV season?

Yes. No "Doubt" about it! :lol:

Only after 2 episodes? Wow! Were the ratings that bad?

What I don't get is the last few years there haven't been many actual cancellations. I mean, there have been shows cancelled but not officially, just aired the episodes they had and no others filmed. I wonder why? I remember years ago when a show was cancelled and the show was pulled, now it seems they air all the episodes then it just disappears.

cws' reign final seaon
cws vampire diaries final seaon

It's too bad that Riverdale won't be one of them. That might be the worst new series of the past season. What the CW has done to the Archie character and the franchise itself is simply disgusting.

Sleepy Hollow is cancelled.

The American Broadcasting Company has come to terms on the release of the situation comedy Last Man Standing as of today, Wednesday, May 10, 2017. ABC wishes the cast and crew of Last Man Standing the best in all future endeavors.
