Despite constantly dragging up the Nielsen ratings’ rear, The CW has refrained from cancelling its Crazy Ex-Girlfriend TV show. They even gave it a fourth and final season to complete the story. Now, since it is ending, we don’t have to spend the season wondering if Crazy Ex-Girlfriend will be cancelled or renewed for season five. Still, we’re keeping an eye on the ratings, because it helps us figure out the cancellation/renewal chances of other CW TV series. So will Crazy Ex-Girlfriend go out with a whimper or a bang? Stay tuned.
A blackly satirical musical comedy, the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend TV show comes from co-creators Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna. Bloom stars as Rebecca Bunch, a “tightly wound” Ivy League-educated lawyer. The CW cast also includes Vincent Rodriguez III, Donna Lynne Champlin, Pete Gardner, Vella Lovell, Gabrielle Ruiz, and Scott Michael Foster. After reconnecting with Josh (Rodriguez), her summer camp crush, Rebecca quits a top New York law firm and takes off for California. She’s not following Josh though, as that would be crazy. Season four kicks off with Rebecca having pleaded guilty to a federal offense because she feels compelled to pay for every wrong thing she has ever done.
