Cancellations of the 2015-2016 Network TV Season - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

HauntedThunderman94 · 09-27-2015, 02:52 AM

The official sitcomsOnline Thread about the Cancellations and Endings of the 2015-2016 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.

My Picks for first cancellations
1. The Player
2. Life in Pieces
3. Truth Be Told
4. Blood & Oil
5. Dr. Ken

Last season, we had to wait until after CBS finished its Thursday Night Football telecasts for the first cancellation of the new season to be announced. This season, can the first cancellation of the new season be announced before CBS finishes its Thursday Night Football telecasts?

If I had to make a pick for the first cancellation of the Fall 2015 season, it would be Minority Report on FoxBC. Its premiere rating (1.1 in the 18-49 demographic with a total audience of 4 million) made it a failure right out of the gate.

Also, how is it possible that Life in Pieces becomes one of the first cancellations of the fall season when it premiered to a 2.7 demo rating and 11 million viewers?

The pilot for Sream Queens was a tad slow paced and did so-so ratings but because FOX seems to have a hard-on for Ryan Murphy I see it lasting at least it's first season.

i actually liked the player it kind of reminds me of person of interest meets hawaii five o!! i hadn't seen dr Ken ,but i think i will like it!! if you hadn't seen furry vengeance, i highly recommend it !! it was good clean family movie!!

there are so many terrible new shows this season - its too hard to pick just one to get cancelled first!

1. Life in Pieces - regardless of how the premiere ratings were that show is just an overcomplicated confusing mess and if nobody tunes in for the second ep i don't think CBS will keep it for too long
2. Truth Be Told - this show just seems amazingly stupid
3. The Player / Minority Report - two shows that just should not have been made.
4. Blood & Oil - this one just seems so dumb I can't believe FOX actually picked it up, but they seem to be trying to sell it as a sexier hotter version of Dallas somehow
5. Dr. Ken - the critics hate it, I liked the preview and think Ken Jeong is pretty funny, so of course it will get cancelled

I liked the Minority Report pilot, there are plenty of current shows that are worse. I haven't seen tonight's episode yet though.

I suspect that "The Muppets" will only last 1 season (if that). I just don't see it going very long.

Especially if they don't appeal to children...even though The Muppet Show was aimed toward adults since they watched Sesame Street and actually enjoyed it!

The shows today are either aimed toward children...or adults...no in-between!

But yeah...The Muppets may not last long....

Life in Pieces - This show is dead. I couldn't make it through 10 minutes of last nights episode. It's awful.

Minority Report - This show sucks and the ratings are bad.

The Player -This show is DOA and definitely a goner. I think this will be the first cancellation of the season.

Dr. Ken - The reviews are terrible and previews look bad. Another one season wonder after Last Man Standing just like Cristela and Malibu Country.

Life in Pieces lost nearly a whole point in its 2nd episode down to 1.9 and lost exactly half of The Big Bang Theory audience with no other competition starting at 8:30. And it might not be finished dropping yet. I don't like how it hurt Scorpion and CBS probably doesn't either.

Last night's episode of Scorpion got a 1.7 demo rating (with 9.5 million), which is less than Life in Pieces's demo rating, but LiP's viewership was less than Scorpion's (8.7 million).

The last comedy that hurt Scorpion, The Millers, averaged a 1.7 demo rating with 7.28 million viewers by the time it got pulled from the CBS schedule in November 2014, while Scorpion's episodes which aired after Millers were in the lower 2s with 10 million viewers (and continued to pull those numbers for the remainder of its first season).

IMO, I don't think Life in Pieces will get past midseason. Single-camera sitcoms do not have a good track record on CBS. The Crazy Ones (from the 2013-14 season) had a big premiere (3.9 demo, 15 million), but the ratings dropped off after that, with its season finale having just over 5 million viewers, and it ended up a one-season wonder.

The Muppet Show is the one show I look forward to every week. Watching it now. I like it. Since I do, it is probably doomed, so probably next year when I start the annual thread "What show was cancelled after one season you really liked?"

What made matters worse for TCO being cancelled was that it probably let Robin Williams down causing us to lose him.

The 1st official cancellation is a summer show: Chasing Life on ABCFamily is done after 2 seasons.

IllinoisTVFan · 10-05-2015, 03:24 PM

I don't think the Muppets will be cancelled. Yes it is more adult orientated but people forget it originally was adult orientated. After all they were on Saturday Night Live, hardly a kids show by any standard. I don't think Minority Report and Blood and Oil will last a season. Probably not Dr Ken either if he ratings aren't good because ABC is doing well so they aren't going to keep any shows with mediocre ratings.
