Very happy about The Wonder Years and Home Economics.

[Avabelle]

I really wish there was a contract somewhere that made sure any shows that air past one season have to be given a fair well finale as part of the cancellation. It’s so annoying when you invest a year or two into shows that are then just suddenly cancelled.

I would just be happy if writers for shows that weren't a guaranteed renewal would stop writing cliffhanger season finales.

It's amazing how many shows still seem to think this is an effective way to try and save them from being cancelled, considering it's exceedingly rare that it actually works.

Hard to believe but one of my own favorites is getting another season.

Upload is back for season 3

and of course the cancel volcano continues to spew!

Pivoting is canceled. This show had a lot of potential and some good chemistry but wow the writing was pretty bad and some of the storylines were crappy.

With the exception of 'United States of Al" and "Two Sentence Horror Stories", which has yet to be renewed*, I got off really lucky overall. All my other shows are coming back next season. 

*I'll be thrilled if "Two Sentence Horror Stories" manages to get a fourth season, 'cause I enjoy the show a lot. But I also won't be surprised if it doesn't, simply because it's not very well-known compared to other CW shows, and given that network's future as a whole is currently up in the air with talk of it being bought out, that will no doubt impact many shows' future as well. So I've made peace with whatever might happen with that series.

'Missing' Shows, Found! The Latest on Westworld, Firefly Lane, Jack Ryan, Warrior, Los Espookys and 28 Others

https://tvline.com/lists/missing-tv-shows-renewed-cancelled/

[DearEvette]

Well, I am ok with the recent round of shows that managed to survive.

My two absolute favorites of the season, Ghosts and Abbott Elementary, got renewed so that was all I really wanted.

Happily surprised that Grand Crew got renewed.  It doesn't get anywhere near the buzz or marketing that some shows get, but it is a nice little friendship based sitcom.

Also happily surprised that Home Economics got renewed.  It kinda fills that Single Parents hole in my heart, in a weird way.

And yay for The Wonder Years.  I was briefly worried about it when the stuff about Fred Savage came out, wondering if that would hurt its chances, but luckily it didn't.

Very interesting to read about all the reactions to the unprecedented CW cancellations.  And there are some after-the-fact finger pointing going on.  I will say, I think some of the creatives might have gotten a bit complacent.  CW has not been a quick cancel, even on some of their lowest performing shows.  So to some extent they have been somewhat insulated from the uncertainties that other Network low performing shows have.  If they had been in Fox, for instance, none of those shows would have gone even half the distance.  But from what it sounds like it is a purely financial thing with the sale of the network.

[juno]

Woohoo. Barry is renewed for a 4th Season.

This is one for fellow Aussies and Brits. Neighbours is cancelled. For those who don't know, it was a long-running Aussie soap. Some big names got their start there. Kylie Minogue, Margot Robbie, Guy Pearce.

Guy Pearce will be returning for the grand finale, as will Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, plus a host of other actors (Deadline article, Sky article).

No.....I just don't need revivals of old shows.  They usually disappoint. 

I loved scrubs but it limped to the end. Move on.

Boo! HBO cancels "Gentlemen Jack".

I am so bummed about Full Frontal, and love the snark about all the pre-emptions the show endured:

It's probably due to the damn merger.

It would be great if someone picked up/created a new show with just Pfeiffer as Ford.  The woman had an interesting life and Pfeiffer really was terrific in the role.

And then there were three . . .

Beginning September 12, Days of Our Lives will no longer air on NBC. Instead, the soap will move from network television to NBC's streaming service, Peacock. That leaves only three soap operas on network television: General Hospital (ABC) and The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless (CBS).

Of course. I watched the first half of the first episode last night, intending to come back. Sorry, everyone. I've been known to discover websites and blogs a month before they stop updating too.

So, should I continue? I was interested in Ed Harris' character, though I didn't like him. Do we get a fulfilling answer as to his motivations? Does the show end in an acceptable place to finish?

YES!  The first season is great!  It's also extremely confusing, but if you just run with it you won't regret watching.  The second season is interesting and worth watching too, but the last two are terrible.

Some not so great news regarding Resident Alien. Episode number cut from 12 to 8 episodes. This is usually not the best development of a TV show. I hope I am wrong.

If Amazon screws it up as badly as they did Back to the Rafters, it probably won't be back for long.  (To be fair to Amazon, I mostly blame that on the producers, but still.)

[Anduin]

In breaking news, those idiots at HBO continue making stupid decisions. They're pulling Westworld and The Nevers from HBO Max. It's not enough that the shows are cancelled, you can't even go back and watch what was made.

If the higher-ups want to save money, they should just fire the person responsible for these actions.

They just cancelled Minx too reversing the season 2 renewal. HBO Max is a dumpster fire now and these nonsensical decisions just keep the flames burning.

What's wrong with Neighbours? It isn't for everyone, but it was a reasonably popular show, won't be massively expensive to produce, comes with a built-in fanbase (whose noisy efforts to save it were what attracted Amazon's attention in the first place) - and, crucially from Amazon/Freevee's point of view, it will bring new customers to the Freevee service. And is, in fact, already doing so. I know a lot of Neighbours fans who had never heard of Freevee before, but have already begun to check it out in anticipation of new Neighbours. And that's the point, that's why they made the deal, for that audience, who will not only watch Neighbours itself but have now been made aware of other content they could be watching via the Freevee service. And all those eyeballs will bring in new revenue from advertisers.

Wow. We are the complete opposite. It's just, fiction can tell any kind of story. It's all made up. Why tell stories that are so small and mundane, and echo the trivial parts of life? Why not tell stories that are big and bold, the exciting things that so many of us will never experience?

Hey, have you ever watched For All Mankind? I think you'd find it as annoying as I do, for the exact opposite reason. Me: there's too much soap opera in my space opera! You: there's too much space opera in my soap opera!

American soap operas that were canceled a decade or so ago. They still had a lot of fans and were in markets around the world.

A decade ago is what makes the difference. Neighbours was only just cancelled, much easier to revive. Still fresh in the minds of the fans campaigning to save it. Older shows, not so easy.
