I binged the whole series last month and got all caught up, then saw this earlier this week. Guess the writing was on the wall after America Ferrera decided to leave. I think they still have interesting enough characters where they don’t need her but there really isn’t anyone else to slide into the romantic lead, so I guess end it before it overstays its welcome.
i'm part way into the 5th season I think and enjoy the show. I saw she was going to leave and figured it was going to pack it up soon. A show that has had a run that long and loses its lead doesn't need to keep going. It has enough episodes for syndication (or I guess streaming now) and trying to force something will just hurt the quality.

It's a favorite of mine and this season has been fine but yeah, no need to force it.

The article I saw wasn’t clear if it was a cancellation or just a decision to end but it sounds like Brooklyn Nine-Nine will not be back this season as planned. Season 8 will happen during the 2021-22 TV season and have a ten episode season to end the show.

I'm probably the only one who watched but the current season of Mom will be its last. The show has been ok since Anna Faris left and Allison Janney has always been great but I'm ready for it to end. 8 seasons is pretty damn good.

I was sick a day back in like August and I had Spike TV on in the morning to shotgun like six episodes of Bar Rescue. Long around 1:00 an episode of Mom came on and it was damn good. I was surprised. I should seek it out again. Eight seasons is a hell of a run, good for them.
EDIT: I guess I was watching the Paramount Network but whatever.

I was surprised at how decent of a show Mom was when I visited my dad and he had it on a few years ago. It's not really my type of thing overall, but for a modern sitcom airing on CBS, it is very good. The show balances comedy and drama really well and Janney is terrific on it.

Mom is a show I can never tell if it's still current or if it went off the air in like 2015. Good for them. My parents seem to really enjoy it.

American Gods has been cancelled. Sounds like it might get a movie wrap up, but no fourth season.
I watched for about a season and a half and finally came to the conclusion I wasn’t liking it well enough to keep going. All style, little to no substance. Kinda how I felt about Legion.

i only watched the first season and the lead actor was so terrible i gave up. It was also super unfaithful to the source material.

On cancelled shows, I thought the finale of Superstore was *fantastic*.
We were talking about feel-good endings in the Wrestlemania thread? This was the sitcom equivalent of Macho and Liz at WM7. Beautiful.

I felt that was one of the better series finale in some time. Just felt like it wrapped up every thread from the series nicely. I just feel bad I didn’t start watching the show until earlier this year so I really only saw maybe the last five or six episodes in real time.

CBS is canceling their remake of MacGyver after five seasons.
The remake of MacGyver has been on for five seasons!?

Better question is: "there was a remake of MacGyver?"

CBS has so many remakes that I just barely know about that it's hard to keep track.

It's just as well: I wasn't really interested in seeing what was going to become of the show, after they break Mac and Desi up, to put Mac and Riley together.

I'm almost ashamed of myself, that I didn't have to check to know that you made that up.

I stand corrected. Why didn't they just keep the Five-O remake on the air, then?

Tbf a good portion of the audience isn't going to notice that NCIS: Hawaii isn't the Hawaii 5.0 remake.

Maybe if you made their food easier to chew, they’d be able to hear.

NBC canceled “A Little Later with Lily Singh”, and are abandoning the 1:35 late night talk show altogether.

I like to support new late night hosts so I tuned in for the first week or two and I never got why exactly why she had a talk show. The 1:35 AM show on NBC should've been canceled 10-15 years ago. Barely anyone watches the 12:30 AM shows now. Nobody but nobody is watching TV anymore except boomers and they're not staying up until 1:35.
This will be the fist time since 1988 that NBC will not have a talk show in that time slot. Well if you don't count that weird period in early 2000s where they were showing SCTV reruns in that slot for awhile.

This is Us is ending after 6 seasons. This doesn't really count as a cancellation (the creator says the plan was to end after the sixth season) but hey.
