Now’s a good chance for me to include another note
regarding the cancelled shows from last season. You see, FOX aired something
called animation domination hi-def. They aired it late at night on Saturday
leaving it with few viewers. So, basically, stuff that wasn’t advertised that
you didn’t know existed was cancelled due to low ratings. The only surprising
thing about it was that it was even news in the first place. Also, this list
may contain a lot of shows, none of which anyone probably cares about. It might
be a while before I post anything in this blog so you may see a lot of shows
here from a long time ago depending on when this is finally updated.
This list will
mostly be various summer shows that never were officially cancelled because
most main season shows do get officially cancelled. Whodunit left the
airwaves with no future season to call its own and no official cancellation
notice. I would post a review of it, but I only saw one episode and it aired
too long ago anyways. Oh, Sit never aired again this season so it is
officially over even though the network never bothered to end it. The
Million Second Quiz is also a victim of this. Nobody cared enough to even
announce that it was over. Splash, the ABC reality show about simply
diving into a pool was appropriately cancelled even though no cancellation was
ever made official. I’m sure that I’m missing a lot of different shows from
recent TV shows. Oh well. That’s all for now. I know that I’m missing shows so
if you can remember some unimportant show that ended with an official
cancelation notice, then let me know because it might not be important to some,
but it matters to a few. I am probably missing more shows on this list. For the
future, I will try to remember what they are and put them with the cancelled
shows update list. Of course, I would if I ever bothered watching them and if
they were ever worth mentioning. I’m pretty sure this post may be a waste of time.
I know that there are more shows cancelled that I missed mentioning here.
Well, since
there’s still more stuff to talk about, in my mind; I decided to add how you
know that a show was cancelled. This list mostly applies to network TV. The
rules normally apply to any show should any of this happen to a show that you
watch. There may be exceptions, but I’ll tell you what different things that
happen to a show mean that it’s cancelled and not coming back. These rules
apply whether an official cancellation is ever made or not. 1- It has been over
a year since this show last aired a new episode. 2- A show is pulled from the
schedule with unaired episodes and no set return date. 3- Every new episode has
finished airing and there are no plans to make any more. 4- A new show is moved
to Fridays when it didn’t used to air there. 5- A new show’s episode order is
cut. 6- They ever air new episodes on Saturdays. 7- New episodes are only
available online. 8- The show is no longer on the schedule at all. 9- No new
episodes are produced anymore. 10- No promos for this show happen anymore. 11- The
show that is not a limited run series does not get an order for more episodes.
This rule does not apply should the show be a midseason replacement as it is
not customary to receive an order for more episodes in that case. Also the rule
normally only applies to new shows since returning shows can have shortened
seasons at times and not be in danger of being cancelled.
I would
mention a network officially cancelling a show, but that obviously means that a
show has ended and then you wouldn’t have to worry about anything like this.
There might be other ways of knowing that a show is de facto, but not
officially cancelled. There might be others of them that are notable that I
can’t think of. But I included this list and these rules so you would know for
sure in the future. I’ll also try to post these cancelled shows in the lists
that I do every year. (In case you are wondering, there is a show currently on
television, Mulaney, that is currently de facto cancelled. It’s not the only
one actually. If you don’t think that it will be, I assure you that it will be
cancelled by the end of the season, if not sooner. If it returns for future
seasons, feel free to rub that in my face. But it won’t.) I think that now I
might actually be at the end.
