Cancelled Shows 2012: Networks Drop Dozens Of Shows

Fans of Missing, GCB, Awake, or Can You Hear Me, Chelsea, will have to look for something new to watch. NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX have cancelled dozens of shows for the 2012 season.
The major networks are setting their schedules for the fall season which means that several announcements have been made over the last few days about which shows were getting the axe and which shows would be continued.
CBS Cancelled Shows - CSI: Miami, A Gifted Man, How to Be a Gentleman, NYC 22, Rob, Unforgettable
CBS decided to cut one of its CSI shows (CSI: Miami) as well as NYC-22, and Rob and Unforgettable. CBS said in a statement:
“CSI: Miami leaves an amazing television legacy — a signature look and style, global popularity and as a key player in CBS’s rise to the top over the past decade. We thank all the producers — led by Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and Ann Donahue — and its talented cast, led by David Caruso, for 10 outstanding seasons. Viewers around the world will continue to enjoy rebroadcasts of ’CSI: Miami’ in syndication and on key digital platforms for many years to come.”
CBS also cancelled A Gifted Man, which starred Patrick Wilson.
FOX Cancelled Shows - Alcatraz, Allen Gregory, Breaking In, The Finder, House, I Hate My Teenage Daughter, Napoleon Dynamite, Terra Nova
Fox also said goodbye to a few new shows. Alcatraz, Breaking In, I Hate My Teenaged Daughter and The Finder are all being canceled. Fox did decide to renew the new Kiefer Sutherland drama, Touch. Seattle PI reports that the cancelled shows will make room for several new comedies like It’s Messy, Ben & Kate and The Goodwin Games.
NBC Cancelled Shows - Are You There, Chelsea?, Awake, Bent, Best Friends Forever, Free Agents, Harry’s Law, The Playboy Club, Prime Suspect, The Firm.
NBC also said goodbye to several shows. The drama Awake won’t be making it to season two. Either will comedies Are You There, Cheslea and Bent. Best Friends, Forever and Harry’s Law will also be cancelled. NBC staples like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, The Office, 30 Rock, Community, and Parks and Recreation, will be returning next year. As well as new comedies Whitney and Up All Night. Smash and Grimm will also see a second season.
NBC will also be introducing several new shows. Go On, The New Normal, Animal Practice and Guys with Kids will beef up NBC’s comedy lineup. Revolution and Chicago Fire, will add some more drama to NBC and Stars Earn Stripes, Howie Mandel’s White Elephant, Ready for Love, and Surprise with Jenny McCarthy will join Celebrity Apprentice and The Voice to complete NBC’s reality programming.
Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment, said:
“We’ve taken a few first steps toward a turnaround over this past season and now we’re seeing a real opportunity to accelerate that process. We’ve got a lineup of new shows that will really get people to sit up and take notice. And with the Olympics coming this summer and two nights of ‘The Voice’ in the fall, we’ve also got the tools we need to give our shows the kind of launch they deserve.”
ABC Cancelled Shows - Charlie’s Angels, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, GCB, Man Up, Missing, Pan Am, The River, Work It,
ABC will be cancelling Missing, The River, Pan Am, and GCB. New comedy Don’t Trust the B— in Apartment 23 has been renewed for another season.

Malibu Country, which stars Reba McEntire, will also be making its debut on ABC. The network has also greenlit new drams Zero Hour, Red Widow, Last Resort, and 666 Park Avenue.
ABC will also be getting rid of Cougar Town. The show hasn’t exactly been cancelled, but next season will be airing on TBS and not ABC.

ABC has just given me no reason to watch their network at all. Cancelling GCB (hilarious show) and Missing is just another series of unfortunate decisions. Cancelling "V" was the one I disliked last year. Who knows the next time I'll be watching ABC. It could be YEARS before they are able to invent a show with a frontal cortex and a sense of humor, especially at the rate they CANCEL them.
May 14, 2012
I was a fan of GCB.
May 14, 2012
I cannot believe they cancelled GCB! I was so hoping it was going to be the next Desperate Housewives!
May 14, 2012
CBS is on my list of not to watch, they take off good shows and keep the crap. CSI miami, a gifted man, alcatraz, and unforgettable taken off. take off anymore I won't watch at all.
May 14, 2012
It's not too late! WRITE / EMAIL / CALL the networks with your opinion and your solution (not to watch the network shows) to their programming choices!
May 14, 2012
GCB Cancelled snif! snif!
May 14, 2012
sad over GCB AND THE RIVER.
May 14, 2012
Loved the show because I have a sense of humor…..and I am a christian it is possible to be both. I hope some other network will be smart and pick it up…maybe HBO?
May 14, 2012
really? they didn't even give gcb a chance. that show was quickly becoming my guilty pleasure.
May 14, 2012
GCB was my favorite show…shame on ABC!
May 14, 2012
not the river that was a good show.
May 14, 2012
I cant believe GCB is gone!
May 14, 2012
Harry's Law. Are you kidding.
That's why NBC is #4
May 14, 2012
Holy crap.
May 14, 2012
Me too! I loved them both
May 15, 2012
Damn it! How they left the finder…. I wanted more! FOX sucks!
May 15, 2012
This was the first time in many years that I turned the to networks for my entertainment. I am truly saddened to see some truly new ideas and writing skills go to waste. What a shame.
May 15, 2012
Well, that stinks. "Missing" is one of the better shows to come in a while. WHY?
May 15, 2012
GCB, Harry's Law, Alcatraz… What the heck!!
May 15, 2012
I loved Pan Am! And CSI Miami? Wow–been watching that for years!
May 15, 2012
What on earth will we have to watch!
May 15, 2012
What on earth will we have to watch!
May 15, 2012
I'm really going to miss Harry's Law….really sad it was cancelled!
May 15, 2012
Also love a Gifted Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 15, 2012
You will have lots of REALITY shows! I now have no reason to watch NBC, ABC, or CBS…
May 15, 2012

May 15, 2012

May 15, 2012

May 15, 2012
I'm sad that they canceled Alcatraz and Extreme Makeover Home Edition.
May 15, 2012
Not GCB!!!!!!
May 15, 2012
I love GCB!
May 15, 2012
Cancelling GCB! Really? Best show on tv. Shame on you!
May 15, 2012
have made a conscious decision to NEVER watch any ABC prime-time shows since ABC cancelled FlashForward, Samantha Who? and Pushing Daisies back in 2010. You know ABC stands for Already Been Cancelled.
May 15, 2012
All the good shows are being cancelled, but yet the reality shows stay on like the Bachelor and Bachlorette. I don't know about you but I certainly don't want to watch some guy acting like some Valentino for a bunch of women, and some woman acting like a whore for all those men. GET RID OF IT and leave the good shows alone.
May 15, 2012
But they also have some great shows like Once Upon A Time, and now Scandal, and don't forget the perfect…CASTLE
May 15, 2012
I can't believe ABC is cancelling GCB after one season! It's a great show! MORONS. And Fox is ditching The Finder, another excellent one, idiots! And Harry's Law? Really, NBC? You don't realize what you have there? I hope your revenues go down the toilet. All three of you get great shows and dump them. Why don't you listen to the public?
May 15, 2012
next season's GUYS WITH KIDS looks stupid!
May 15, 2012
The only show I'm upset about is Terra Nova. I thought it was a cool tv show. I'm disappointed it didn't make the cut.
May 15, 2012
All these TV networks are messing up all the TV shows. I was used to the schedule I made a few months ago, and now I have to make a new one. They cancel shows that are good, for shows that absolutely suck.
May 15, 2012
These executives are so stupid. They think every show is supposed to get 10 million viewers every episode. It's 2012…we have Netflix and Xbox 360 to occupy our time. You put shows like Awake on Thursday at 10PM with zero advertising and wonder why you don't get viewers…come on!
May 15, 2012
and ABC Desperate Housewives! Hurray! I get my wife back! lol
May 15, 2012
I think the networks that are cancelling the shows:
The Missing, Awake, Alcatraz and The Firm is making a HUGE mistake…I for one will not be watching the other shows that will premiere in their places…The networks need to reconsider NOT cancelling these shows. You doomed The Firm by putting it on a Saturday instead of a weekday for all to see. I'm very disappointed…
May 15, 2012
Don't worry there will be a new series of real original ghost communicating/genius dectective/ crime lab/ emergency room shows to watch next year.
May 15, 2012
ok I know they changed harrys law some, but still an awesome show, I mean hell, snooki is still on tv but oscar winner kathy bates is gone, but major light bulb goin off, THEY CANCELLED MEMPHIS BEAT, CALL JASON LEE AND BRING BACK EARL.

May 15, 2012
how dare yous keep snooki on tv and cancel oscar winner kathy bates, harrys law changed, but still awesome with over 10 mil viewers.
May 15, 2012
CALL JASON LEE, BRING BACK EARL.
May 15, 2012
ABC didn't cancel Desperate Housewives —- the producers decided to end the show.
May 15, 2012
UNFORGETTABLE, GCB AND CHELSEA, unbelievable, where does it say, we have to watch trash just because advertisers and not viewer s opinions count.
May 15, 2012
Michele Platia-Gwozdz –is LADONNE'S BAKERY still going. the one down the hill and the alley. Loved the tomato pizza and the anchovie bread.
May 15, 2012
can't believe they cancelled THE GIFTED MAN, loved that show.
May 15, 2012
I loved The River..WTF..I hate when they do that crap..They do Not give Shows a Chance..It stinks really..I Was looking for The River on Demand and it is GONE!
May 15, 2012

I can't believe they are canceling GCB I really liked that show
May 16, 2012
I can't believe Missing is cancelled….one of the most exciting shows in a long time. The acting was soooo good and I could hardly wait week to week to see what happened next!! Just sucks!

May 16, 2012
the only one that bothers me is csi
May 16, 2012
Whitney wasn't cancelled? That show was terrible, got as many viewers as, "Are You There Chelsea?", which is cancelled, even though that show was bad as well. White Cummings can celebrate success off of "2 Broke Girls," But Whitney has got to go.
May 16, 2012
Loved Harry's Law.
May 16, 2012
I am so disappointed with the cancelling of GCB, missing and the gifted man. There is so much crap on tv and all these unnecessary reality shows. I really enjoyed these shows and ate that they have been cancelled. I want be watching much network tv in the future.
May 16, 2012
missing was the worst idea for a movie ever. I could not take the main character seriously and was not believable. the stupidest thing is that the show is a total rip off of the movie taken only with a mother and son instead of a father and daughter, and lets be honest the story line of a retired MALE CIA agent is more believable than a female chasing people who kidnaped her fairly large son. just so stupid I will now sleep better at night knowing it is over. I just hope they don't ship this first season overseas for the rest of the world to watch it would be the second worst thing to happen in history…just edged out by the holocaust.
May 16, 2012
Yes Missing…loved that show…love Ashley…I think the 7p.m. time slot was horrible….grrrr….
May 16, 2012
Shame on you ABC….was loving GCB! Here's to hoping another network will pick it up!
May 16, 2012
Thought the show was great….had everything a great show needed including a fantastic cast and storylines…so sad.
May 17, 2012
I cannot believe you cancelled missing.
May 17, 2012
I totally agree!!! That was my new fav show!!
May 17, 2012
my roomate's aunt makes $60/hour on the computer. She has been out of work for 5 months but last month her pay was $13291 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read more on this site lazycash42.c()m.
May 17, 2012
Can't believe they did in GCB, it was my current favorite show. I knew Pan Am was a gonner, loved it too. Surprised Fringe is not on the cancelled list as I LOVE it too.
May 17, 2012
Sucks about GBC
May 17, 2012
*Whitney. not White. Oh my gosh.
May 17, 2012
Cbs had flash forward
May 17, 2012
Not Harry's Law
May 17, 2012
I really enjoyed Rob, a very funny show. Am very disappointed that Missing got the axe too. Some really crummy shows got renewed, can't believe it.
May 17, 2012
So bummed. Missing was one of my favorites this year. Darn.
May 18, 2012
Ok Missing is great what happened????
May 18, 2012
Seriously ! Friggin Alcatraz and Missing they suck
May 18, 2012
And Ringer and the Finder and like every new show that came out this year but the stupid keifer sutherland one!
May 18, 2012
So LAME! and Greys Anatomy is leaving me hanging for next season. I HATE THIS!
May 18, 2012
At least it had an ending for this year.
May 18, 2012
They left it open on Missing with his mom missing now. Leave you hanging and not renewing.
May 18, 2012
Why bother to invest in any new show for it to be cancelled. Missing, Awake are only two of the best. So I guess I won't be watching much this new season.
May 18, 2012
How ridiculous to cancel GCB and Missing, but keep Don't Trust the B! WOW! I can't believe that Alcatraz was cancelled, either! What a wonderful show! And, The Finder was such great fun and so well written!
May 19, 2012
Why not cancel some of these ridiculous reality shows and leave the good ones on? Most of them are just plain stupid!
May 20, 2012
Pissed that FOX cancelled Alcatraz & The Finder ABC The River but Grimm Will be back so it's all some what good Plus I just knew that all them comedies on the list just would not make the cut Don't know how though Whitney survived must of been more affordable to keep her then to pay her contract off.
May 20, 2012
It is getting to the point there is nothing on but reality shows. Reading more…..
May 20, 2012
Marie Kasimatis Do you know that a lot of people , refuse to watch new shows? Do you know why? Well I heard , that tv viewers , do not like to begin a new show , get into it…..only for that show to be canceled! And this is something that is happening a LOT lately…… I think that the networks , need A bit of " THERAPY ". It might benefit them , and us! More to come , another time……

May 21, 2012
Breing back Harry's Law. Maybe return it back to the original season and drop some of the new lawyers in that office. What happened to the "gang" guarding the law office. Work it out and bring it back. PEASE!
May 21, 2012
Agree w/you about Harry's Law!
May 21, 2012
CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE CANCELLED SOME OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS AGAIN! I loved Unforgettable and Harry's Law. Rob was so funny…..MISSING really really good. So sorry for all of the followers of these shows I will get things cancelled if some one hears that I like it…..

May 23, 2012
OH AND IF ANYONE STARTS A PETITION FOR SHOWS LIKE THE RIVER, HARRYS LAW AND YES MY MAN EARL HICKEY, PLZ HIT ME UP ASAP, BANG BANG POW POW!
May 24, 2012
GCB was a great show along with some other cancelled. Seems like some complained about religion and the network folded on GCB. As far as the new shows – can you not come up with originals? Several are copied after movies and old tv shows. Didn't a sitcom already cancel before with Reba? Good luck. Might be a bad year for network and a good year for renting movies.
May 26, 2012
I agree – that stinks. They have cancelled some of the best drama type shows and are putting on more and more reality or situation comedy shows. I'm thinking that if I have to watch another singing, dancing competition I will cancel my cable.
May 29, 2012
Lost 7 shows now what do I do
May 30, 2012
I LOVED MISSING! WHY CANCEL?
May 30, 2012
I loved GCB too!!!! I cannot believe they are canceling it!!! Best show on in years
May 30, 2012
I am sick…The Firm..Missing …and Harry's law are great shows that maybe needed to build their fan base…so sad
May 30, 2012
GCB whyyyyy! Loved that show – it took the place of desperate housewives.
May 30, 2012
I know. I Love it. It was going so good.
May 30, 2012
Um…getting a life comes to mind!

May 31, 2012
Sooooo lame. Fox always has shows that have one season and get cancelled. Out with the old and in with the new for the other shows that were on for 8-10 seasons…
Jun 1, 2012
Missing was actually a good show,full of suspense and good acting..will be. Missed
Jun 1, 2012
I like "smart" tv shows – not the silly ones, tv that makes me believe in the system and people – Harry's Law was one of those – I hate it when they do that just to put on another silly reality or whatever show!
Jun 2, 2012
Very sad about The Finder and GCB.. I really liked those 2 shows a lot! I hope someone else will pick them up!
Jun 2, 2012
If harry's Law was cancelled because us "older" people watch it and they have trouble selling advertisement, maybe they should find mature advertisers we still shop, vacation, and support the younger generation in many ways! Just because the show was aimed toward today's problems and used intelligence in stead of sex to solve issues it goes to the chopping block. Guess the acting couch is back in the directors office again.
Jun 3, 2012
Maybe we should all just not watch NBC, CBS, and ABC. Perhaps then they will listen to us. With cable and satellite we can watch many other " non- major " stations. That might get their attention.
Jun 3, 2012
The shows i like are so few. HARRY was a favorite.
Jun 3, 2012
I think the apprentice should be cancelled.Donald is working too much into politics. How can NBC stick with an republican billionare if their news people are biased and stick with the democrats? And CBS should move Hawaii Five O on Thursday night slot at 10PM and CSI Las Vegas moved to Thursday at 9PM. I think this would be a good move for this fall. Because I think one of the reasons ratings on Monday night is low because of WWE RAW is drawing an huge TV audience. Especialy its going to become an 3 hour event starting in july.
Jun 5, 2012
I think we should ALL stop watching ABC till they bring back the good shows! Missing had me in suspense every single show, Ashley Judd is an awesome actress and the male actors were handsome! How can you end a season with the mother going missing. If that was the case then you should have left it happily ever after!
Jun 5, 2012
This is complete CRAP.
Alcatraz, Breakout Kings, Awake, NYC 22, Missing, The Firm, The Finder, Missing, A Gifted Man, Prime Suspect, Harrys Law..all INCREDIBLE SHOWS and they all get Axed. Let me guess more celebrity bullcrap on the TV and more reality fist pumping as well.
All because why they didn't score big in the 18-49 demographic for Nielson. Id love to find out who has those boxes. Appears to me you have to love mind numbing, "fake reality" GARBAGE to count.
Looks like my new years resolution will come true next year. No reason to watch TV now. ALL THE GOOD SHOWS ARE GONE.
Jun 7, 2012
sucks gcb, csi miami, and the river were cancelled…sucks…now what do I watch…thanks a lot viewers who didn't watch the show…:(
Jun 8, 2012
Okay, I get most of the cancelled list, but Harry's law and csi Miami. Really, do,you have to be under 35 to enjoy tv?
Jun 8, 2012
A few years ago, my husband and I watched Life on Mars, a remake of a British show. After winter hiatus, they ran an episode out of order, leaving us scratching our heads. The show was canceled and the makers had time to throw together an ending. It was a big let-down, nothing like the original's conclusion. My husband decided to not invest his time in any more new shows!
Jun 8, 2012
Networks are really going downhill from here. Great shows canceled, dance and singing shows stay.. HELLO CABLE
NETWORKS
Jun 9, 2012
I likes GCB … but also love the show BENT and BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE…they were such hularious shows…they didn't even give them all a chance. sucks
Jun 9, 2012
It was so hard when they said good-bye with DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES , and ONE TREE HILL…I THINK ONE TREE HILL WAS CW 50 THOUGH. STILL SUCKS
Jun 12, 2012
Irritated that they cancelled Ringer and Missing — I liked both of them. Alcatraz had promise, but fell flat — and it was time for CSI Miami to go. Ringer and Missing are among the best canceled 2012 shows IMO: http://www.ranker.com/list/2012_s-canceled-shows/acrosstheflame.
Jun 14, 2012
I cannot believe they cancelled Tera Nova, one of the few shows worth watching, they keep the crap shows known as "reality series", what bunk and cancel anything worth watch as well as anything that is actually entertaining, the rating don't always tell the whole story and everyone knows that the blockbuster " SG-1" had a mediocre start too and look what happened there, hey network execs, do you actually watch TV or do you just look at the numbers? Now, WHERE is "Sons of Anarchy" another fab series, get it together folks, the public is trying to watch.
Jun 29, 2012
Man up was freakin hilarious its to bad there a bunch of tools running these major stations try watching an episode before you just give all these shows the axe. Half of the cancelled shows were really well written a some even caught my attention long enough for me to become attatched. Its getting tothe point a person shouldn't even bother watching a new series just wait for it to be a couple seasons in and then pck up on it. That way your not left hanging and you can really get invested into it later. Glad there keeping touch but bet it onlylasts another season.
Jun 29, 2012
Why would abc cancel Missing. They cancle

Harrys law is one of myfaves. Why do they cancel shows like missing and Harrys law then keep some of the stupid reality shows?
Jun 30, 2012
As long as they keep Once upon a time I'll be a happy camper! that's the only series I go out of my way to see anymore (CSI without Catherine it's just not the same
).

I think these idiot execs are so gun shy they don't have the balls to let shows like The Firm become established. Instead, they push another no-brain reality show down our throats in liew of real acting. Such a sad state of affairs our nation has come to when we have to live through someone else's reality on a TV show.

How can they leave us hanging in Missing? I love that show!!!!!
Jul 12, 2012
They're canceling GCB…but keeping Don't Trust the B- in Apartment 23…This makes no sense…Going to miss all the characters of GCB! Especially Pastor Tudor and Amanda!
Jul 12, 2012
My favorite shows, were Missing and the Firm. At least NBC gave he Firm a chance.

That really STINKS! Everyone got rid of some really good shows this year and has me half tempted to not watch anymore new shows! What's the point? Everything gets cancelled anymore! Missing and Pan AM were two of my favorites. A gifted man was a really good one too! Very disappointmented with tv these days.. don't think I will start watching anything new this year!
Jul 13, 2012
Damn! The River, and Alcatraz were two of our favorite shows, EVER!
Jul 14, 2012
People still watch NBC?
Jul 17, 2012
I don't know why I even bother getting into ANY drama series any more, they always cancel them and replace them with either a sitcom or some mindless drivel crap reality show. And they wonder WHY their viewerships drops…geee I wonder?
Jul 17, 2012
they should cancel all bachelor shows, and that idiotic ringer…talk about crap and crap acting….im soo pissed they cancelled Harrys Law, missing, the finder, the firm and a gifted man…all decent shows. I think I may as well cancel my cable and just watch movies online. At least that way I wont be disappointed every freaking yr when they yank my shows.
Jul 17, 2012
omg there are so many shows i watch they are canceling this blows UGH! (thanks for the share… woulda been wondering here soon y i couldnt find em)
Jul 17, 2012
No it was ABC
Jul 17, 2012
I loved Missing, Pan Am and GCB never missed a week. What next Revenge and Scandal? How about Once Upon A Time? They canceled those great shows but kept that Ap. 23 show? WTH
Jul 17, 2012
I'm in Australia and just watched the 10 eps of GCB and can't understand why it would be cancelled similar to The Secret Circle and the new Melrose they are great shows, I just don't understand
Jul 24, 2012
Wow, the networks must be checking to see what they have left that I watch;((. Canceled Harry's Law? GCB? Missing? And you wonder why we aren't watching the big networks anymore???? Oh wait, we can watch them cut up another body, plan another murder???? What happened to entertainment
Aug 2, 2012
I love that show the missing going to miss it
Aug 8, 2012
I loved a gifted man! Great show
Aug 9, 2012
So when does touch come back on? And dont trust the b in apt 23?
Aug 16, 2012
I just found the list– the FINDER was my favorite—although the bartender in the pilot was my fav. in contrast to the marshal.

DAMN-IT, FOX!

I'm angry.
Aug 21, 2012
R.I.P. Terra nova, The River and also weeds after this last season…Gonna miss it
.
Aug 23, 2012
Awake and The Firm were the ones to watch! I made sure that iwas in my seat when either came on. Great writing, acting and suspense. Alcatraz was just another cop show with a touch of paranormal. I can live without it.
Aug 23, 2012
I wish that they would bring back someo of the good ones that we lost when the writers went on strike!
Aug 25, 2012
Please.. lets try to get a message across to the people at ABC.. Like this facebook page:

Aug 26, 2012
Cbs sucks ass canceling csi mimi that's just bullshit…
Aug 29, 2012
fox sucks a big one they always cancel their good shows. I know they have to end but they always do it early that's why I have stopped watching fox show because I will get into a show then they take it away. might I go back to greatness such as firefly or how about drive it only got 6 episodes which I had to find else where, or teranova. anybody that watched that show knows it should have gotten another season they got it goin and left us hanging. no fox anything its total crap and they have one less viewer now all because they cant get their heads out of their asses.
Aug 29, 2012
I'm a big fan of CSI(Miami), sad that they decided to cancel this superb show. I'm so disappointed! CBS will loose many viewers…Thanks CBS for making this STUPID decision!
Aug 29, 2012
God cancelling all the good shows! Missing was awesome…already missing desperate housewives. And wtf the cw cancelled ringer!!!
Aug 31, 2012
Bruce Pringlemeir I believe Castle was also axed????
Sep 4, 2012
Really disappointed in all the shows cancelled. The Finder, Alcatraz, and Terra Nova on Fox were all shows we watched. Not to mention Awake and The River. Well I hope all the new shows deliver because right there are five shows we watched.
Sep 4, 2012
I watched GCB and Chelsea and Alcatraz. That stinks
. Hopeful a cable channel will pick up Alcatraz, maybe Sifi?

Very very sad to hear that Michael Clarke Duncan has passed away. I loved his character on The Finder, as well as in all his other roles. I great man with kind eyes.
I guess it would be tough to bring The Finder back without him.
The Finder was a great show. The cast were likeable and the stories entertaining. As with many others I am sick to the back teeth with the drivel TV networks have been pushing over the last two decades. Reality TV is neither reality, nor is it entertaining (unless you are brain dead and think a bunch of sad primadonnas showing off for the cameras is a good way to spend your evening). Yet reality TV shows are constantly plugged by these networks year after year, while great scripted TV shows bite the dust one after another.
Stop pandering to the mindless mob and start raising the standard of TV programming. If you need me to connect the dots that means keep series like The Finder going and dump the X Factor rubbish!
Sep 4, 2012
I was bummed about the Finder too. Since Michael Clarke Duncan just passed away it wouldn't have been as good anyway. I really enjoyed Terra Nova too.
Sep 4, 2012
That really sucks that they have cancelled Missing That was a great show WTH ABC…. Bring it back.
Sep 4, 2012
I'm going to miss Terra Nova !!
Sep 5, 2012
My hubs and I had just said that about Micheal until we found out the finder was canned… still bums me out…And i loved alcatraz that ticked me off….never watched GCB or Chelsea…And my hubs and I both loved Terra Nova it was just getting good too…errr…He and I must have horrible taste in shows,more then half get cancelled

It's a shame that reality TV has taken over. Talented actors have competition that is rediculous. Do we really have to get inside of celebrities lives? Harry's Law, Awake, Unforgetable, Body of Proof, A Gifted Man, Missing, The Firm-all great & ARMY WIVES? I mean really, what the heck? and the comedy hit WHITNEY? omg SO freaking funny, a group of friends that had chemistry so similar to Friends. So we all have to pay our huge cable bills for crap? And honey boo hoo…just like the exploitation of the little toddlers & tiaras, it's all trash…what's has happened to our TV and the entertainment industry? Even the HGTV has turned the shows into nasty homeowners bikering with the designers. It's bad enough that we lost Oprah and 2 of the best soaps on NBC [yes I watched for 36 years & not ashamed to say it]…..How many cooking shows & health shows do we really need? Shame on all of the networks…Whitney only had 6.2 million viewers? That's 6.2 million unhappy people I am sure. Again SHAME ON YOU!
Sep 6, 2012
I can't beleive that you cancelled The Firm. Awesome show.
Sep 6, 2012
I lost 4 shows I like. Now only my trusty greys anatomy is left and the new smash. Even the silly shows I liked on nbc family got cut! I always lime the shows that get cut.
they could at least make a few web episodes to finish the stories.
Sep 7, 2012
VERY UPSET THEY CANCELED THE FIRM I loved that that shoe
Sep 7, 2012
Awake, A Gifted Man, Harry's Law, and Missing were all well written, and acted; shows that had depth and thoughtfulness, along with plot twists and enough action to keep anyone busy. Notice they were not all on the same network. I will switch my dial to find the good stuff and record if two land at the same time. It seems as if a lot of the shows that are still on pander to the lowest mentality, with locker room "humor?" and gags that only a pre-teen would think funny. Also miss Flash Forward, another great show that went down the drain, AND left you hanging. And…this could go on and on, but Heroes is another one that bit the dust without a proper ending, but the strike did have something to do with that, so I'll give them that.
Sep 7, 2012
Quite a few of my favorite shows were cancelled. Among them The Finder (which I guess doesn't matter now since MCD passed), Awake, Terra Nova, Alcatraz, Harry's Law, and The River. All of these shows were on my weekly line ups.
Sep 8, 2012
BRING BACK MISSING! Best show by far in ages

Sigh…I enjoyed GCB…it wasn't intelligent but it made me smile & sometimes I don't want to think, I want to relax with a glass of wine & veg out for an hour!
Sep 10, 2012
Well that sucks Missing was one of the best shows on tv as was Alcatraz I have been hanging out since they ended for them to come back on again now I'm going to have to invest in more dvds or go to bed earlier! So sick of all the good shows being caned while all the crap shows run for season after season!! GCB is good as well.
Sep 15, 2012
Can't believe TNT would let Memphis Beat Go… These A-holes take all the good stuff and leave the CRAP!!!
Sep 20, 2012
Soooo many great shows cancelled. Unforgettable, The Firm (2012), Missing, The Finder, Alcatraz and more are you kidding? What am I going to watch now? And so many stupid ones taking their place. It's sad.
Sep 20, 2012
Can't believe missing is canceled. That was a great show! They get u hooked then leave u hangin..
Sep 27, 2012
So disappointed that Missing was cancelled! Such a good show! I believe canceling it is a mistake!

How STUPID CBS is the cancel CSI: Miami So upset Loved that show.
Oct 3, 2012
Harry's Law and The Firm were two of my favorites. You just leave us hanging. Who makes these decisions anyway????????????
Oct 17, 2012
Why missing? It was great
Oct 20, 2012
I still can not believe CSI Miami and Unforgettable were both cancelled. My kids and I looked forward towards watching those two shows. I would love a different network to pick them both up and have them back on!
Oct 23, 2012
Extreme Makeover : Home Edition, one of my favorite shows, it's true stories of families who need help, it's crazy
Oct 23, 2012
i love that show, what the heck?
Nov 4, 2012
Harry's Law was super…now I find out its been cancelled. What's up with that?
Nov 5, 2012
Amen to that. Every time they get a GOOD show on TV they cancel it to put CRAP on.another great show WAS A GIFTED MAN. We loved that one.what did they put in its place? Probably a DUMB reality show. Pretty soon we'll be replacing our TV.
Nov 5, 2012
Why do they keep those stupid shows on year after year???the ones that mindless people watch???? Because there are so many mindless people around !!!!
Jan 3, 2013
I really enjoyed The Firm…i can't believe they cancelled…but they continue to add shows that are ridiculous
Jan 14, 2013
Why was Rob, cancelled that show made me laugh more than ever. I loved all the characters and I though it was a great show much better than all the reality shows that are so fake. Why do they take off the well written and cast shows to put on shows about sex sex sex. I'm not a prude I want to watch something with substance and intelligence!
Jan 30, 2013
are you there chelsea? Gcb? and Rob? I loved those shows…They lost to the office and parks and recreation? not my kind of humor, I'm so disappointed yet again. I wish another network would start seeing these treasures and snatch them up!
Feb 12, 2013
All of these show were garbage, I didn't watch a single one.
Mar 6, 2013
I have finally finished watching the series "Missing" One of the best shows I have watched in a long time. I cannot believe that this show was not picked up! For all the shows that do make it, I cannot believe this one didn't! I so looked forward to the next episode. Very sad to think it is now done..
