Overall, some 38 programs, many first season ones, were cancelled or finished their run.
That is a massive number.
From some of the prelimaries, it looks like many of their replacement next season will also be short lived.
One problem is that they try to develop ‘weekly’ programs based on themes that would better lend themselves to 3-6 hour mini-series. Many of those themes just do not have enough substance to become weekly series for 22 or so episodes.
I watched Fox’s The Following. It was okay, but how many times can the main female character and/or her son get kidnapped and freed in one season? It was at least 4 for each this season.
Gave up on The Following mid-season after about the fifteenth time the crack-pot pulled his Poe-inspired mind trick on the "unsuspecting" authorities. I just got sick of the same thing week after week after week. Same with "Revolution", when they came back from their 3 month "hiatus", I couldn't pick it up, again too repetitive.
Sorry to see "Vegas" get dumped. A little quirky, but it wasn't a bad period piece, showing how the Mob turned Las Vegas into the glitter capital of the world (pre-nObama, of course).
