Television: Cancelled Shows/Series that Ended 2012-2013

[ForWhoForWhat?]

The show Mike and Molly on CBS is awful. It needs to be cancelled and those gigantic people are hard to watch.

I will miss none of those shows. Office should have ended 2-3 years ago and it was time for 30 Rock to end.

Weren't the decisions to end 30 Rock and The Office made by the shows' producers, not the network?

Totally agree. I have never seen a show like 30 Rock with so much talent suck so badly.

And how the hell does Community or Parks and Rec stay on? Holy effin' moley.

I never got into Community, but I love parks and rec. It was definitely time for 30 Rock and The Office to go. I love both shows, but it was time. I got sick of 30 Rock a while ago. The finale was fun though.

I believe Mike and Molly does very well in the ratings. I'm not a fan, but someone is watching. The chick is pretty funny in movies, but I wouldn't watch the show.

Yes

I posted the list, but missed seeing The Inbetweeners.

What a shame. I really loved that fat red-headed dude.

Yeah me too, he made the show. Him and the kid that played Neal were on Workaholics last week.

As the father of three little ones, I will be sad to see Victorious go. While it was just as bad as every other Nick show, that Victorious chick is smoking hot. And yes, she's legal. Chris Hanson doesn't need to show up on my doorstep.

This talk of cancelled shows reminds me how pissed I was when Fox cancelled Arrested Development and Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

Hate when shows I like are ended on a huge cliff hanger.

Agreed, T-SCC ended with such a great finale then poof, it disappeared. Brutal cuz I loved that show. Hoped like hell some other network like FX or SiFi would pick it up, but hasn't happened.

I have not even heard of half these shows and I don't think I've seen most of the others on the list.

As for Mike and Molly, I watch it some of the time. It's okay - typical Chuck Lorre fare, sort of like the early years of 2 and a Half Men, only for the obese.

30 Rock IMO has been highly over-rated for a long time. I thought it was decent the first couple seasons and somewhat weak after that. It sort of became the show to say is "great" in a way that makes you above everyone else for this misunderstood comedy, but at the end of the day it just wasn't as funny as it should have been.

The Office has slipped a lot since Michael Scott left. Nuff said. I'll watch it up the finale only because I've been watching it this long so I want to see the finale, but it is not near the show it used to be.

Networks are having a very tough time launching shows as more and more of the viewing audience doesn't trust them to run a show to completion. That leads to weak opening ratings, which in turn leads to the show getting cancelled. It's a vicious circle that the main networks have created on themselves. The smaller cable outlets and premium subscription channels are having much higher launch success for scripted programming due to their resolve to launch a good product and commitment to letting the show develop.
