Community is officially done. I never watched the show but fans should be satisfied that a program that never really got the support of the network as others did and ran on cult fumes lasted as long as it did. The show has nothing to be ashamed of.

With that said, it wouldn't shock me if Netflix got their hands on it.

I think it's pretty certain that either Netflix or another network picks it up for one last season.

"Revolution" and "Growing Up Fisher" (which actually was getting decent ratings) have also been cancelled.

On the plus side, "Hannibal" has been renewed.

It came down to About a boy, Growing up Fisher and Community. Community outran Fisher but had no more legs against Boy.

Netflix would likely be all over it for a final season. Maybe FXX but not sure 100%. Depends if they have space.

But.. Community episodes are on Netflix.. At least, they were the last time I checked/looked for it.

You can add "Super Fun Night", "Mixology", "The Neighbors", "Trophy Wife" and "Suburgatory" to the heap. Oh, and "Last Man Standing" is likely getting renewed because there is still a demand for Tim Allen for some reason.

Last Man Standing is filling up space on Friday so it was pretty safe.

Oh, and goodbye to "Believe" (what I saw of it was pretty bad) and "Crisis" (At least it was better than "Hostages" I guess.)

The Neighbors was better than it had any right to be. I found it to be a fun show. The entire cast was in on the joke and just having a good time. It probably would have worked better if it was on ABC Family instead of ABC.

They may have been in on the joke. But it was a bad joke. I caught a couple episodes because it played on my lunch break. Not a smirk to be had.

How the hell did Revolution last two seasons? I was done after two episodes.

I think I have it four before realizing that I didn't care less if anyone on the show lived or died.

Every Netflix market but the US, which is the one that counts.

First season had a bit of an overhaul mid-season, losing the focus on the kids and increasing the focus on Miles and Monroe, which was good enough to get it the second season.

My wife liked Believe. I wanted to like it because of Delroy Lindo, but no dice. She'll be sad to hear that there is no more Bo.

It didn't help that the most relationship chemistry on the show was between the damn uncle and niece characters.

Nothing shocking there. The Crazy Ones started great but lagged out, plus it was way too expensive to keep it on the air. Bad Teacher came out soft and went softer. Hostages should have been a mini-series and nothing more. Intelligence had been done and by better people. I never saw a minute of Friends with Better Lives.

They kept the Mentalist for another season which surprised me and seems pointless. I gave up on it halfway through the last season. It resolved everything it needed to, there's no reason for it to keep going.

Supposedly Warner Bros pulled a Beauty and the Beast deal, putting tons of cash up and reducing the cost to CBS for a final season short order.

They also passed on How I met your father.

"Hostages" fucking suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. Seriously, it was "The Following" levels bad, only less successful.

"Dracula" has been canceled. All I remember is that the first episode was so bad I couldn't finish watching it.

Update: It is getting a second season-it's just that it will be produced completely by Sky in the UK, and won't be airing in the U.S.

I watched 2 episodes of Dracula. I wanted to give it a shot since most pilots aren't very good, but it was just trash. It didn't help that Jonathan Rhys Meyers was probably doing the show fucked up. He had to have his pay held during production since he was using it for drugs at one point.

The only one of those I'm remotely sad about is The Crazy Ones. I actually liked that one. Coked up Robin Williams is truly the best Robin Williams.

Serious question: What are the major networks' television model? What is the point of canceling everything only to replace them with CSI spinoffs and reboots (Odd Couple?). I'm sure these shows are cheap as hell to make and will get decent ratings. The networks will be smiling with glee come Fall.
