So TV slaughter season is almost/mostly over, anything you wish hadn't got cancelled, wish did get cancelled, surprised got renewed?

What you looking forward to next season?

I wish Community hadn't been dropped

I was also really enjoying Friends with Better lives, which I hear is being shopped around a bit, which only very rarely get results, but I would like to see more of it. Some of the dialogue was very funny, and a really good cast.

Really glad Hannibal is coming back, I loved that show. Haven't watched season 2 yet as I'm planning to binge watch once it's finished, but I was worried for it.

So glad Parks and Rec is coming back, but devistated it's the final season. It will mark the end of NBCs last great shows.

Though I have high hopes for Marry Me, from the creator of Happy Endings which was one f the best comedy's in recent years, and I find Casey Wilson hilarious and Ken Marino is great in just about everything he's in.
Bad Judge looks ok, and AtoZ seems kinda sweet, but mostly cuz the two actors are likeable, the story is a bit whatever.
State of Affairs looks like a poor mans Scandal, and it's very hard to find Katherine Heigl believeable in that role, and the trailer looks like a bunch of stolen dialogue from other show. Though I still like Heigl, I loved Izzy on Greys and I like a women that seems like a bitch.
I can't wait for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Tina Fey could make a show about paint drying and I would watch (you just know that paint would be trying to have it all, with a zany window, physical comedy and real housewives references)

So disappointed Trophy Wife was cancelled, that had shaped up into a fantastic show.

Suburgatory and Crisis were the only other things I was disappointed were cancelled, though Crisis was pretty badly executed but was a very cool idea and Suburgatory had slipped a bit this season.

Everything else that was cancelled pretty much deserved it.
Though how The Tomorrow people was cancelled and Beauty and the Beast and Hart of Dixie still live is crazy.

All the 'On the bubble' shows can go.


I wish Mom had been canceled, just to free up Allison Janny from the mediocrity.
And The Mentalist can end, it's had it's run.

Ugh just watched the trailer for the mysteries of laura, vomit. I thought it was a parody of a cop show for the first part of the trailer.
 
I watched the State of Affairs trailer and its basically Scandal and Homeland's lovechild and just the kind of awful ridiculousness that I can enjoy. It will be terrible and I'll love every second of it.

I liked the HIMYM joke in the AtoZ trailer, it's basically that story again. Also, couldn't help but find it weird hearing Katey Sagal narrate such a fluffy looking show because when I think of her I think of this...

I actually laughed out loud at the Marry Me trailer so I'll definitely watch that. I loved Happy Endings.
 
The Tomorrow People, Intelligence and Almost Human - gutted that they went. Especially considering Beauty and the Beast is still going. There must be about twenty people watching. It's about the only show I never come across on my Tumblr/LJ/insert-platform-of-your-choice-here. Which is surprising since most people I follow are in this genre.

SO not surprised about Bloodlines. It was DIRE and it wasted a whole SPN episode at the very end of the season when it should be building up the arc for the finale.

Mom NEEDS to go, it's awful.

Not really surprised about much else. Bring on the fall!!

Beauty and The Beast has really small but super dedicated fanbase. I've missed this season because I just didn't have time but last year, they were super into fan campaigns and stuff like that. It's not a fantastic show, but there is a hell of a lot worse on the air.

I just..NO ONE I know watches it - I didn't even know you watched it! - and considering the genre, I thought at least there would have been a few things reblogged on my dash or whatever, if the fans are as dedicated as people say. But, like I said, I know no one who watches it. Considering the following The Tomorrow People seemed to have (most of them SPN and Arrow fans supporting their families) it seems strange to me that they would axe that but keep B&B. *shrugs*

I dunno, there was some major resentment among other CW fandoms last year when the won best new show at some awards show, can't remember which one. I'd imagine it will be cut this year though, the back end of their latest seasons was held from being aired until this Summer.

Yeah, they won the People's Choice Award for best genre show, I think. Or best show. Something. They beat SPN and one girl voted 1.5 million times. Dedicated doesn't even come close, lol.
 
Most of the shows I fallow are summer seasons or Canadian shows so they had already been confirmed to have another season a while ago.

The only one I was really worried about was Hannibal. I was scared they were going to cancel such a high quality show, but thankfully they didn't. With the addition of the amazing Katherine Isabelle and Michael Pitt, I'm really looking forward to s3.

I'm also extremely glad that Orange is the New Black got renewed for a third season and that Laura Prepon is returning as a full time cast member!

Oh theres gonna be a 3rd season of Orange is the New Black. Cant wait to watch season 2. That show was funny as hell.
I watched the State of Affairs trailer again and Parker is the sleezy/vaguely annoying guy in it! So, Parker in a suit then.
 
Yeah it was people choice, voted for online where rabid dedicated loud fans can make it seem like there's more than a few people interested.

Renewing BATB is insane, it was the CWs second lowest rated show. It must be super cheap to make (which makes sense, actors can't really demand more money when no one is watching)
 
I'm so upset about Trophy Wife being cancelled--I absolutely enjoyed that show. It was the perfect 1/2 hr show: funny, cute, sweet, honest, and all in the most simple way. Brad Whitford, Malin Akerman, Marcia Gay Harden, and Michaela Watkins are just brilliant. And the actors playing the kids? Fantastic! Especially Warren, what a great character!

Ugh. 😡

Sad about 'Intelligence' getting axed, I was just starting to get invested in it, it had a intriguing set-up. Not the most original but still. 🙁
And I really like Josh Holloway, guy needs to be on a show as the male lead or something, he was great in 'Lost'.

Glad 'Hannibal' got renewed, it's so high quality, the acting and writing is sensational. 'Criminal Minds' at its peak never got this good. 🙂

Also, Continuum' got renewed for a 3rd Season. Yay, I like Rachel Nichols, and the time travel ideas'.they have are well executed and interesting.
 
Selfie looks good, it looks like it will walk a narrow line of being awful or really good, I think Karen Gillan (Doctor Who!) will keep it in the good category though, the trailer made me laugh a couple of times.
Instantly watching though just cuz of Karen

Mulaney looks ok, I was hoping for a bit more, cuz I like Mulaney, and really like Naseem Pedrad from SNL.

Very excited for How to Get away with Murder. Massive Shonda Rhimes fan though, love Greys and Scandal.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has added Jane krakowski, which has me even more excited! Jane was sooo good on 30 rock, glad to have her back with Tina!
