Network Television Renewals & Cancellations: Did your favorite show make the cut?
RENEWALS
- ABC renewed Scandal and Revenge each for a fourth season. This really isn’t a big surprise to anyone considering these are ABC’s top shows after Grey’s Anatomy and Modern Family (both of which have been renewed as well).
- FOX green-lit a second season of the supernatural drama Sleepy Hollow back in October and this week announced an increase episode order for the sophomore season. Let me tell you, if you're not watching this show - you're missing out. A show about the headless horseman has no right being this good, but man is it good!
- FOX also renewed a good chuck of their comedy-block. New Girl, The Mindy Project, and the Golden Globe winning Brooklyn Nine-Nine will all return next year. Very happy to see the latter two make it. I was especially surprised Mindy got another season considering it's less-than-stellar ratings, but hey! I'm not complaining.
- The CW renewed three series this week (The 100, Hart of Dixie, and Beauty and the Beast) to join the five already-renewed shows on their network.
- NBC renewed the fairy tale drama Grimm (a show I really need to catch up on) for a fourth season, Parks and Recreation for a seventh season, and ordered a revival of Heroes all set to air this fall. Cult favorite Hannibal was renewed for a third season while freshman comedy About a Boy received a second.
- CBS renewed almost all of their series with the exception of How I Met Your Mother and We Are Men. Of the bunch, I am very happy to see Elementary renewed. This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I prefer it to it's BBC counterpart, Sherlock.
CANCELLATIONS
- FOX cancelled freshman comedies Surviving Jack, Enlisted, and Dads. This probably wasn't a shock to anyone but it is a good reinforcement to Seth McFarland to stick to cartoon sitcoms and cartoon sitcoms only. The network also took the axe to The X Factor. The show failed to produce a single star, but at least provided us with dozens of Britney Spears reaction gifs.
- NBC finally put Community out it's misery. I loved the show in the first two seasons but halfway through season three, the show fell dramatically in quality and never recovered. The rainbow peacock also put an end to Revolution after two seasons.
- ABC ended the Once Upon a Time spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and the comedy series Trophy Wife. The American Broadcasting Company continues to be a bloodbath for comedies that aren't Modern Family axing both Suburgatory and the sci-fi sitcom The Neighbors
- The CW cancelled The Carrie Diaries after two seasons, and The Tomorrow People and Star-Crossed after one.
