I can’t believe they’re canceling Rebel. A good show which they which they always do. Another one was Baker and the beauty. I hope Netflix pick some of them up. Please please. Wake up TV Network.
I really liked Debris…too bad. But glad to hear The Last Kingdom will return for it’s final season. Furthermore Manifest abandoned soooo many plot lines I truly believe the writers had no idea what the hell they were doing. Tell us about the plane and where the passengers were for 5.5 yrs. And get it over with already. Lastly WandaVision was awful terrible and painful to watch. Wolverine is the only back story that I cared about. And Disney+ please add Hulk to your Marvel category. Not sure why it was never placed on the timeline. Peace fellow tv watchers!
Cancelling my favorite shows is one thing but replacing many of them with game shows is another. Whatever happened to made for TV movies and miniseries shows that ran for three days and then ended. I almost don’t need a TV anymore. There is nothing to watch.
I am so disappointed that both For Life and Rebel were cancelled. I think i will probably cancel my network cable and go with satellite. Do they honestly think everyone wants to watch animated cartoon shows or reality tv. C’mon network brass, get real and connect with the average 40+ population. These were good, clean, interesting shows. So disappointed
16 shows that my husband and I thoroughly enjoy, have now been canceled…all because the networks believe that 19-49 yr. olds are way more important to their pocket book, apparently this age group has more “throw away” money than those of us more mature in our age. It’s discriminatory! Apparently networks aren’t really paying attention, because the 19-49 yr olds I know, are so tech savvy, that they are cancelling their cable/satellite providers, to stream what they prefer to watch, so they could care less about network TV. Frankly, I’m so disgusted with the networks that I’m close to doing… Read more »
For Life and All Rise are two of my favorites and I can’t believe there weren’t enough followers, especially For Life, based on a true story! I am upset..
Please don’t cancel NCIS: NOLA. Its one of my very favorite shows. I have no intention of watching NCIS: Hawaii.
We were surprised that Rebel on ABC was canceled after one season. We thought season 1 was pretty good we love Andy Garcia as well as many other members of the cast.
Hate to see Prodigal Son cancelled it is a really good show
I also loved Prodigal Son. In my estimation, it was one of the best shows on TV. Great stories, great acting and well produced. I really liked Debris. It was very different. A little hard to follow at times, but the show was really exciting SiFi…..http://worknet30.com/
Hate to see Younger go….it’s so fun to watch. Has great story lines…I’m Bumed.
With the exception of DEBRIS and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS (which I watched faithfully) and, to a somewhat lesser extent, CONAN (because of the similar shafting Mr. O’Brian got ten years ago from NBC), I honestly have to say…I do not regret the cancellation of any of the series on this list.
I would like NCIS: New Orleans
To make a return!
It seems like most of the shows that I watch are being cancelled such as Prodigal Son, All Rise, NCIS New Orleans, Debris and MacGyver.
Rebel shouldn’t be canceled. It’s a very good show about Erin Brockovich. This season was about bad heart valves. Who knows what could be brought to people’s attention, like bad water, chemicals being dumped because Trump deregulated a lot of companies who break the law. What other show does this kind of stuff? Bad idea ABC.
It was freshing give it a chance great actors looked forward to watching the episodes…why does everything have to be political and viewers suffer bad idea to cancel
I agree! Rebel is one of the few shows on right now that we looked forward to watching each week. Great actors, substance and story lines. ABC, this cancellation is a mistake.
I just watched the last one and yes some of the things they did we’re just a little corny however it was a good fast pace show, and I actually cried when they won the case in court. Takes a lot for me to get that involved in a TV show
