I keep seeing “Fox has canceled 4 shows” or something like that, but those are always either clickbait or stuffed full of ads. Anyone know of the Network (TV shows that are canceled? ---

According to [people.com](https://people.com/fox-shows-canceled-in-2026-11968245), _Sherri_ (the Sherri Shepherd talk show) and _Going Dutch_ (a sitcom starring Denis Leary) were two of them. It doesn’t name the other two, but the comments section has someone post that they’ll miss _Access Hollywood_, so that may be the third one. ---

I know of the following. Some knew they would be done, some didn’t: The Boys - they knew it was the final year, but I believe part of that was Amazon’s choice Starfleet Academy Access Hollywood -yes, this was a thing still The Bachelorette - another longrunning one ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Starfleet Academy I’m surprised at this one. I thought it was received quite favourably. I don’t watch Trek, and the trailer looked awful to me, but then everyone who watched it gave it a lot of praise, so I figured I was way off in my assessment. ---

Watson was recently cancelled. It’s a medical mystery drama, sort of like House. And Watson is sort a modern version of the Watson from Sherlock Holmes. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > The Boys - they knew it was the final year, but I believe part of that was Amazon’s choice This is weird though, Gen V, which tied in with it, just sort of got shoved off and cancelled as a byproduct of this. It was pretty much “We’ll help” - “Fuck off”. ---

Is it just me, or is it pretty obvious when a show is DOA? I mean, it seems like every year they come out with a host of shows, maybe 3/4 of which are obviously not “ready for prime time”. _Going Dutch_ is a good example of one that must have looked good on paper, but was very obviously not one that was going to hit big. Is there some sort of contractual obligation for pilots to be shown/1st seasons, or is it just a huge game of “throw it at the wall and see what sticks and stays stuck”? Lots of these shows seem to be fairly easily identifiable as unlikely to make it, but they show them anyway. ---

The spin off, _Vought Rising_, is a prequel, though. It focuses on the first superhero group. There is a planned series called _The Boys: Mexico_, but that appears to be very early in its development. ---

_Strip Law_ on Netflix was canceled in the last week or two also. ---

I used to have a pretty decent grasp of most of the shows on terrestrial TV in the US, UK, and here in Australia, even if I only consumed about 5% of it all. I’d glean enough info from the online discourse to follow what the shows were about or assess if they’d interest me. But in the past five years that has dramatically changed. I guess due to the shift away from free-to-air and towards streaming, which has fractured into way too many different services, there’s no easy way to even brush my finger across the pulse. My point is, I have never heard of most of these shows. Not even vaguely aware. ---

Counting all of the various ways shows are made available (traditional broadcast channels, basic cable, premium cable and streaming) there are literally _hundreds_ of shows released each year. It’s not a surprise that we haven’t even heard of some of these, and no one has access to all of them. ---

Which is why I asked for Broadcast TV, the major channels. People may not have even heard of Shout! TV or Criterion, but eveyone in America has heard of CBS. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/recently-canceled-tv-shows/1030566.md?page=2)
