It’s hard times for network television right now, with the turnover for series coming at a ridiculous pace. Networks are struggling to keep shows for more than one season at a time and when it starts looking like a series is going to brick, they pull the plug on it before it goes any farther.
Even some long-standing franchises and/or shows that had a lot of hype behind them couldn’t make the cut and were deaded this year. Whether it was the writing, bad scheduling or the fact they just weren’t connecting with audiences, titles like The Muppets, Minority Report, Limitless, Gradnfathered, Rush Hour, The Good Wife, Togetherness and Nashville will not live to see another day.
We’ve seen some shows make a return on the likes of HULU and Netflix before, but the jury is still out on whether any of these series survive past network TV. It might actually make sense for a few to get picked up as first round draft picks on a streaming platform.
Check out all of the shows cancelled below. A moment of silence for all the titles.
