For dozens of broadcast-TV shows, it’s all over but the crying. And my annual number-crunching.
In the wake of a busy two weeks of Upfronts Season cancellations, and with only a handful of shows (mostly NBC midseason fare) still awaiting word of their fate, TVLine as is tradition is here to take stock of the fallen — to find some “fun” facts amid much misery.
Which freshman show this season was first to get the hook? Which of the Big 5 networks had the lowest “batting average” this time around?
What was the strongest series to be sent packing, and which were the weakest performers to get renewed? Which cancellation generated the most conversation on this here Internet site? And which beloved “Fun Facts!” category turned out to be inapplicable this year?
I took a trip down to the TV morgue to deliver this review (click here for direct access) of the year’s cancellations as well as evaluate the freshman class as a whole — including the “new” but still-yet-to-debut shows that have been sitting on the shelf for… a long while.
