Ah, bullshit. I liked Undateable. Even when Whitney Cummings showed up. Between all these cancellations, my DVR is gonna be nice and empty come Fall. Hoping for the best.

The daughter from The Grinder (Hana Hayes) went on a tweet liking spree, including one of mine. Google tells me this is of no interest to me for another year though.

Girls ended up growing on me, but I can't imagine reading anything the internet has to say about it.

Not cancelled, but next season will be the last for Orphan Black. The creators had a 5 season show in mind, so this is fine.

Penny Dreadful's finale on Sunday wound up being the series finale as it won't be brought back. It was a terrific show and I'll miss it.

Damn. Just started getting into it recently. Don't know what took me so long. Fantastic show.

I didn't realize it was still on. I caught the first few episodes and lost interest as Wilmore just never seemed comfortable and most of the jokes were terrible. I liked the panel early on, but that got tiresome after a while. It didn't help that aside from Mike Yard all of the contributors were awful and obnoxious.

Exact same thoughts. Well, I knew it was still on because Hulu always tries to autoplay it after the Daily Show. But I haven't watched it in over a year.

Disrespecting Bill Nye should be a life sentence.

It isn't cancelled but with "what's his name the guy who played hodge/greg from dharma and greg" fired for kicking a coproducer Criminal Minds really should just give up. Although i kind of want to see how they explain him vanishing in the middle of the season. Will he also be visited by a ghostly Danny Glover will being tortured with white phosporus like Shemar Moore was?

I feel like it got better later on, and it actually gave a real, honest look at issues like racism and police brutality which is rare in today's media IMO. That being said, it isn't really shocking. The show really struggled in the ratings (more so than "The Daily Show w/ Trevor Noah", which is also lacking in the ratings department) and only got attention online on rare occasions.

The thing about the CBS procedurals is that they seem to be turnover proof, so it should be fine in spite of Thomas Gibson (the lead character) pulling a Clarkson. They probably just put Mantega as the lead and bring Love Hewitt back to fill the void.

I watched almost every episode of the Nightly Show for the first 6 months or so and it never really worked for me. Most of the correspondents were pretty bad (I think Mike Yard and Ricky Velez were ok). The few times I watched recently they did those "black people react to magic" segments and they were cringe worthy. I found Wilmore to be a pretty mediocre host, too.

I liked the idea of the panel, but it would devolve into comedians trying to work jokes in and wasting all their time doing that and then devoting way too much time at the end of the show to the keeping it 100 segment. I know they toned that down a bit and tried to fix it later on, but I'm not sure why they even kept it at all.

And I don't understand why he was playing air guitar in the bathroom in the opening credits.

Amy Schumer on twitter revealed "Inside Amy Schumer" is no more. Well this was inevitable given her meteoric rise to fame
