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.

Maybe it was because Mork passed away Mindy married Gibbs, never died her hair red and is still married to him after 26+ years.

I don’t think she’s bad looking but I’m tired of the self promotion.

Exactly. The girl was wronged. She got even. End of episode. Should have been a made for TV movie instead. Whatever happened to “V” - I kinda liked that ....

And that was a shame. The show was excellent! They killed it before release by sticking it on Friday nights.

Yes, I am watching Star Trek right now.
Not one of my favorite episodes tho. Not one of the worst either.

Crap. ‘Forever’ cancelled. I suspected as much. The season finale wrapped things up and no cliffhanger.
A shame. I enjoyed the show.
To: Popman
I liked ‘Stalker.” My only complaint is there were no happy people, only brooders.
To: EveningStar
Just a few ring a bell and I have not watched any of them on purpose. The closest I got was probably channel surfing and I couldn’t tell one from another. Surprised a bit to hear Kevin Bacon was in one of them - Had I known, I would have checked it out...
Lately, among the shows I followed consistently were Longmire and Justified and now they are both gone. That leaves me with Walking Dead.
A&E had a hit with Longmire, but tossed it because they didn’t own it (or something) and couldn’t make as much money on it as they needed/wanted.
I really don’t understand how it all works and how the decisions are made. For example, why would a “Firefly” get cancelled before completing it’s first season, yet a “Jersey Shore” goes for 6 seasons? Boggles the mind.
To: EveningStar
OMW! The only one I have even hear of is “The Mindy Project”, and that is probably because someone on the show did something that caused him or her to be mentioned in a news story.
Never watch any sit coms on TV, and I am not missing anything important.

“Resurrection” was bizarre, and with cancellation, we’ll never find out what it all meant.
To: EveningStar
Can’t even remember the last time I watched a network TV show.
About the only US-based series I watch is “Mad Men.” The wife watches the novelas on Univision...and I recently caught the KDrama bug.

The wife and I enjoyed “Constantine.” We gave “Messengers” a chance and it looked promising.

I tuned into Battle Creek because I like Dean Winters, having been a big fan of him as “Mayhem” in the Allstate commercials.
I liked Battle Creek and I particularly like his Russ Agnew character.
