In the United States a lot of television shows get canceled every year. The industry says 50% will be canceled and some you know are in trouble after the first episode. All you have to do is end up on the wrong night or time and your in trouble, which is terrible to see happen when the show has promise and won't be given time to find an audience. This year we have the following on the canceled list: The Exorcist FOX, No Tomorrow CW, Notorious ABC, Conviction ABC, Pitch FOX, Pure Genius CBS and Frequency CW. The two CW Shows had the best spots in that networks line up in my opinion and dropped so much after The Flash and Arrow you knew their time was up. If I was going to have a new show I would want to air after The Flash and if you can't get a reasonable number of viewers I would cancel it myself. Did you watch any of these shows? I saw one episode of Pitch and stopped watching, as Rosewood has gone so far downhill that I decided to watch something on a different network this season.

I was sorry to see that one on the list and would have tried to catch up, if the ratings weren't so low. Many shows I now wait to see the ratings before turning it on.

I watched two episodes of Pitch, saw how bad the ratings were, and quit watching something that will be canceled. However, I love "No Tomorrow", and will follow it to the end of those 13 episodes. It's hard to get great ratings on the CW unless you're a super hero show. It helped the non superhero shows when Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend each won a Golden Globe, but there is no hope for No Tomorrow.

I hadn't watched any of those shows. I mostly enjoy sitcoms.

I do watch several sitcoms and its good to laugh, I'm watching the new sitcom The Good Place with Ted Danson. Have you seen it?

@Fishmomma Yes, I was watching that one and I enjoyed it. I lost track of when it is on though. I will have to look for it.

People have varied tastes and it is not always easy to tell which show will resonate with an audience.

I agree and feel for the networks, as its costly to air a show. People get upset when a show their watching gets canceled. I know shows have been canceled that I really miss over the years,
