Dozens of TV Shows Cancelled as Networks Clean House
Variety ^ | May 8, 2015 | Cynthia Littleton

It's house-cleaning time for the major networks as the cancellation ax falls in order to make for new additions in the fall.

Some shows, such as NBC's "State of Affairs" and "Constantine," have been off the air so long that it feels they'd already been cancelled. But the formal notice falls just as hard even when if it is long expected.

‘Constantine’ the only comicbook-based show not to get a renewal...

I liked “Stalker”...

“The Following” was way too dark for my taste...

Morse/Lewis/Endeavor, all great shows, though some are older.

Nobody watches the broadcast networks any more.

They are all going to a webcam of a chicken pen.

After reading your post I don’t feel bad as I never watched one show on the list and like you never even heard of them. I guess we are not current and up to date on “Pop Culture.”

Also Sherlock, Wolf Hall and, yes, Downton. Good documentaries too, which the networks abandoned years ago. There was a really good one on the other night about a U-boat that was sunk in the Gulf of Mexico.

I never heard of any of them. I gave up network TV long ago and now just stream old movies from YouTube. It’s my only escape from the sewer that is modern culture.

Constantine deserved the ax. It had its moments but anytime/ NBC gets its hands on a great property or concept it blows it up and it feels like a 70’s NBC show. Just too bland.

Forever was incredible television. Just hands down brilliant. Every week thought they couldn’t deliver what they had the previous week or the quality would suffer. It never did.

The season finale was a decent, though not great, series finale. The show deserved a much better fate. In the days of Brandon Tartikoff this show would have been given another season like Hill Street Blues received.

If this show had been on their Thursday schedule it would have succeeded since it was miles better than How to Get Away With Murder and their gay agenda push every week.

I liked the Brit who played Dr. Henry Morgan on FOREVER, also
Judd Hirsh who played his son and the female detective who played the lead female role was drop dead gorgeous.

I recommend downloading all the episodes and watching this show twice.

I also like Stalker but they had Maggie Q go from Nikita to wimpy. Nikita would have eaten the Stalkers for desert.

"The Following" (Fox)

We watched that one also.

Watched the latest 'Person of Interest'.
Seemed to be what could be called a farewell episode.
I'll be surprised to see it back next year.

ABC - Always Broadcasting Cr*p

CBS - Cr*p Broadcasting System

NBC - Nothing But Cr*p

I haven't followed any series on network TV since Alf!

Anyone have an acronym for Fox?

Network "news" should be cancelled, and replaced with something believable, like a sitcom about an alien sock puppet, or a gay pre-teen doctor.

I watch Revenge and Ressurection...but feel these types of dramas should have a conclusion to them else the storyline becomes stale. Hope the network allows the shows to end like the show Lost.

They should renew FOREVER. The possible story-lines would be endless.
