They just cancelled the Mick, Brooklyn 99 and the last man on earth.
Fox will go down as a network that really cancels excellent shows just to make room for crap shows that only last 1 season. Luckily other fox cancelled shows have been picked up by other networks. Futurama, American Dad, Arrested Development, etc.
I hope Hulu or another broadcast network picks these shows up and renews them. Especially last man on earth, you can’t just give us a cliffhanger like that and then cancel the show.
NINE NINE!!
Fuck.
NEIN! NEIN!
That show is a goddamn national treasure and they are absolute fucking idiots to cancel it.
Maybe they did it so that they could make room for yet another talent/singing/dancing/cooking/survival reality show.
Also, none of the shows mentioned have Steve Harvey on them so their demise is eminent. As we all know, Steve Harvey will eventually be on every TV show in the near future.
I would feel partly to blame since I do watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but on Hulu, but apparently Nielsen is able to track Hulu views for current shows, so, not my fault!

Terry doesn’t like this.

Good news: not only is there the possibility of someone else picking it up, there may actually be competition for it.
Dancing with the Starsearch Cook Island
I might watch it at least once

From the article:
I mean, I can see why they’d want to cancel it . . .
Thank god Brooklyn 99 may be saved. That show is consistently clever and funny.
I do worry about last man on earth. You can’t just have a cliffhanger like that. Hopefully even if nobody picks up the show, they will do a movie like they did with firefly after fox cancelled it. I want to ensure the cast ends up somewhere happy.
Funny, I thought The Mick was the kind of crap show that good shows were cancelled for.
It was still poorly rated. It was simply the highest poorly rated live-action comedy. It was doomed from the start. I like it, and I can’t have things I like.
Why would they do this just when I’m starting to go Full Boyle on the show ?!
I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but your post seems to be based on the (erroneous) assumption that the purpose of the television network is to provide you with quality entertainment.
It’s not.
The purpose of a television network is to make as much money as possible by selling people like you to advertisers. Americans are, by and large, people with shitty taste. That’s why, when they replace Brooklyn Nine-Nine with something incredibly mediocre, it will probably make FOX more money. They’re not cancelling it just to spite you; they’re cancelling it because they figure that it’s not the best way to invest their money.
Dammit, they canceled Lucifer too. :mad:
Fuck Fox.
Honestly, that’s for the best. I’m still pissed at how shitty a show they managed to produce with such rich background material. I shouldn’t expect Neil Gaiman’s pleased with it either.
Even at its worst, it was better than the endless range of craptastic talent/vocal/whatever shows they keep inexplicably churning out.
A slightly less restrictive category, all scripted shows on Fox, gives a better idea of why they might choose to cancel those three. (Cite)
Only 25% of Fox’s scripted shows did worse. That’s the kind of performance that’s going to at least get some hard questions about before renewal.
Brooklyn 99 is the only American sitcom I’ve enjoyed in the last 20 years, so of course it would be cancelled.
Bugger.
Nine nine!
