It's been one week since Netflix announced its decision to cancel the beloved sitcom after three seasons, and "any number of valid reasons have been offered for its continued survival," says Maureen Ryan. "As others have pointed out, One Day at a Time supplies a lot of things you don't see often on TV. We may be awash in Peak TV — about 500 scripted shows exist at the moment, in addition to the thousands of older shows on various platforms — but that doesn't mean that there really is something for everyone. It depends on which 'someone' you are: TV still tends to be over-supplied with shows made by and for white people and pretty sparse when it comes to shows made by — and starring — women of color. Beyond that basic fact — one backed up by a wealth of statistics — there are any number of reasons that One Day at a Time is not just loved but needed."

500 scripted shows?? That's horrifying that SO many sedentary people spend so much time sitting in front of TV/tablet/cellphone/laptop/computer!

I never saw it because I don't have Netflix but isn't One Day at a Time kind of the Hispanic version of Black Panther?

Report: Norman Lear unsuccesfully pleaded with Netflix to relax restrictions so One Day at a Time could land on CBS All Access

Netflix has a clause that requires that canceled shows from outside studios must wait for years before joining another streaming service. CBS All Access was One Day at a Time's highest-profile suitor, but it's on the verge of dropping out of due to those restrictions, according to Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. She reports that Lear personally reached out to Netflix content chief Ted Sarandos to drop the restrictions to no avail. Andreeva adds: "Regardless of the outcome, I hear Sony TV continues conversations with cable and broadcast networks that have expressed interest in picking up the family comedy. The list reportedly includes the CW, which has been out of the half-hour comedy business for awhile and only airs scripted series produced by Warner Bros. TV and CBS TV Studios." ALSO: Pop and The CW are potential landing spots, but they wouldn't be able to afford One Day at a Time without a partner.
