Some big shows there.

Some I thought had already been cancelled

Can't say I have seen many of them.

SavageAmusement 12-08-2009 04:08 PM

Some had, I just made one list- as others might have missed the first.

Some I really liked-

Sit Down Shut up was a ..strange, but witty cartoon
I liked it- which is why they cancelled it.

lordsmurf 12-08-2009 06:41 PM

That's last years list. Earl, for example, was already canned back in May.

SavageAmusement 12-08-2009 07:38 PM

Dang that was my updated futon list.

I'll go searching again!

Sorry everyone

Aatlas 12-09-2009 11:49 AM

Harsh!

I posted the CURRENT cut list-- a few i liked were in there--eastwick, trauma...
dang.

debwalsh 12-14-2009 04:11 PM

Dollhouse has been cancelled, which bums me out - I was catching up on the last couple of episodes, and it was just starting to kick some butt.

Next spring should be interesting - so many shows are going on hiatus to avoid going head to head with the Big O, and they won't be coming back until very close to the point where decisions are made.

But, I just learned that two of my faves - SGU and Sanctuary - have been renewed. And Warehouse 13 has been picked up for a second season next summer. And there's more Eureka coming. And all's right with a world in which Chuck gets a near full-season order. And with more Glee to look forward to ... well, 2010 is looking up.

SavageAmusement 12-14-2009 06:41 PM

Good news about Warehouse 13..it was slow...but I did get into it finally-

dollhouse...i never did quite grasp it and enjoy it - as much as I could have-

sit down shut up..it was ok- but the humor was a bit bitter-
the good family- I really wanted to like but it was droll.

I felt eastwick was just starting to develop :(
Eleventh hour i LOVED
same with reaper..

so im sad.

lordsmurf 12-15-2009 05:43 AM

KOTH was cancelled in the spring. Last ep aired in Sept or so.
Stargate Atlantis was cancelled a whole year ago already.

I don't know who's writing these lists, but they've been living in a cave since 2007, I think.

SavageAmusement 12-15-2009 10:43 AM

I posted the most up to date here-
http://www.savagetraders.org/showthread.php?t=262

but for some reason, no one saw it- so here is the CURRENT-

<hr style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> The Beautiful Life (CW)
This show about young models portrays the cut-throat and competitive world of high fashion. Starring Mischa Barton, Corbin Bleu, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Nico Tortorella, and Elle Macpherson, it was the first casualty of the 2009-10 season. The drama had poor ratings and was pulled after two episodes. Four other episodes were completed but not shown.
The Bill Engvall Show (TBS)
Comic Bill Engvall plays a family counselor who can’t always figure out his own crazy family. The rest of the sitcom cast includes Nancy Travis, Jennifer Lawrence, Graham Patrick Martin, Skyler Gisondo, and Tim Meadows. The series was cancelled after three seasons and 30 episodes due to a decline in ratings.
Brotherhood (Showtime)
A gritty drama about two Irish-American brothers; a politician (Jason Clarke) and a thug (Jason Isaacs). Others in the cast include Kevin Chapman, Annabeth Gish, Fiona C. Erickson, Brian Scannell, Kerry O’Malley, Fionnula Flanagan, Madison Garland, and Billy Smith. After three years, Showtime opted not to continue the series. The news broke when the third season was released on DVD as “The Final Seasonhttp://www.tvpast.org/forum/images/cache/2009/12/18.jpg.”
The Cleaner (A&E)
This series revolves around a recovering drug addict who helps others beat their own addictions. The drama stars Benjamin Bratt, Brett DelBuono, Liliana Mumy, Grace Park, Esteban Powell, Amy Price-Francis, and Kevin Michael Richardson. The series ended after two seasons and 26 episodes.
Defying Gravity (ABC)
A group of eight astronauts undertake a mysterious space mission. The sci-fi drama stars Andrew Airlie, Christina Cox, Zahf Paroo, Ron Livingston, Laura Harris, Karen LeBlanc, William C. Vaughan, Malik Yoba, Paula Garces, Florentine Lahme, Eyal Podell, Dylan Taylor, Ty Olsson, Maxim Roy, Peter Howitt, and Lara Gilchrist. ABC aired only seven episodes. The network maintained that they would air the five remaining episodes at a later date but that seems highly unlikely. The sets have been destroyed and the series creator has confirmed the show is finished.
Dollhouse (FOX)
The Joss Whedon series follows a group of people who have their personalities wiped and replaced with other personas for projects-for-hire. It stars Eliza Dushku, Harry Lennix, Fran Kranz, Tahmoh Penikett, Enver Gjokaj, Dichen Lachman, Olivia Williams, Reed Diamond, and Miracle Laurie. Despite low ratings, the series was renewed for a second season but the numbers fell too low for a third year. The show was cancelled and the last episode is set to air on January 22, 2010.
Eastwick (ABC)
Three women (Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price, and Jaime Ray Newman) discover that they have supernatural powers once a handsome stranger (Paul Gross) comes to town. Others in the cast include Ashley Benson, Johann Urb, Jon Bernthal, Sara Rue, and Veronica Cartwright. The series didn’t attract enough viewers and was cancelled after 13 episodes. All are expected to air.
The Goode Family (ABC)
An animated sitcom about an overly politically-correct and dysfunctional family that stars the voices of Mike Judge, Brian Doyle Murray, Dave Herman, Linda Cardellini, and Nancy Carell. ABC cancelled the series in August after running all of the episodes. Comedy Central later picked up the series and, if it performs well, a second season could be commissioned.
Guiding Light (CBS)
After 57 years on television, the network decided to end this venerable soap opera. The ratings had been slipping for many years and the curtain came down after 15,762 episodes.
Hank (ABC)
Kelsey Grammer stars as a Wall Street CEO who’s fired from his company and returns with his family to live in his small hometown. The rest of the family is played by Melinda McGraw, Jordan Hinson, Nathan Gamble, and David Koechner. ABC shut down production after 10 episodes but only five were shown because of low ratings.
Kings (NBC)
Ian McShane headlines this series about a fictional version of the United States that’s ruled by an absolute monarchy. The rest of the impressive cast includes Christopher Egan, Allison Miller, Susanna Thompson, Macaulay Culkin, Sebastian Stan, Eamonn Walker, Dylan Baker, and Wes Studi. An expensive program to produce, the series didn’t attract many viewers. All 13 episodes were aired.
The Listener (NBC)
Craig Olejnik stars as a young paramedic who has the ability to listen to other people’s thoughts. Others in the cast include Enis Esmer, Colm Feore, Lisa Marcos, Mylene Robic, Anthony Lemke, Paulino Nunes. NBC pulled the series after eight episodes but all 13 were shown online and in Canada. NBC has cancelled the show but there’s a slim chance it may continue north of the border.
Lost (ABC)
What began as a “simple” plane crash story has become into one of the most unforgettable series in television history. The large ensemble cast includes Matthew Fox, Naveen Andrews, Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim, Evangeline Lilly, and Terry O’Quinn. It was announced in 2007 that the show would end after six seasons. We’ll have to say goodbye in May 2010.
Monk (USA)
Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) is a police detective whose brilliance is only limited by his obsessive-compulsive disorders. Other series regulars have included Bitty Schram, Traylor Howard, Ted Levine, and Jason Gray-Stanford. Monk is ending after eight seasons and 125 episodes.
The Philanthropist (NBC)
A billionaire playboy (James Purefoy) decides to use his wealth and influence to change the lives of others. He’s assisted by his best friend (Jesse L. Martin) and his friend’s wife (Neve Campbell). NBC aired all eight episodes but received low ratings. Though the network hasn’t admitted that it’s been cancelled, a “Complete Serieshttp://www.tvpast.org/forum/images/cache/2009/12/19.jpg” DVD is set to be released in January 2010.
Reno 911! (Comedy Central)
This is a satirical program that follows a fictitious police department in Reno, Nevada. Over the past 88 episodes, the ensemble cast has included Cedric Yarbrough, Niecy Nash, Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, Kerri Kenney, Carlos Alazraqui, Wendi McLendon-Covey. After six seasons, Comedy Central decided to call it quits.
Robin Hood (2006) (BBC)
A retelling of the classic legend that stars Jonas Armstrong, Lucy Griffiths, Richard Armitage, David Harewood, Keith Allen, Gordon Kennedy, Sam Troughton, Joe Armstrong, Lara Pulver, and Harry Lloyd. It was announced in August 2008 that Armstrong, who plays the title character, would be leaving the show after three seasons. A creative revamp was considered but a fourth season wasn’t ordered. The 39th and final episode is set to air before the end of 2009 in the US.
Ruby & the Rockits (ABC Family)
A teenage girl (Alexa Vega) tracks down her lounge singer father (David Cassidy) and the two move in with her uncle (Patrick Cassidy) and his family (Katie A. Keane, Austin Butler, and Kurt Doss). The series started out strong but ratings declined. ABC Family opted not to order a second season but all 10 episodes aired.
Surviving Suburbia (ABC)
A family sitcom that centers around a grumpy dad (Bob Saget), his family (Cynthia Stevenson, Jared Kusnitz, and G. Hannelius), and his sleezy friend (Jere Burns). The show had a decent start following Dancing with the Stars but fell apart on its own. All 13 episodes of season one aired and the show was cancelled.
Trauma (NBC)
This San Francisco-based drama revolves around a group of brave first responders. The ensemble cast features Derek Luke, Cliff Curtis, Anastasia Griffith, Kevin Rankin, Aimee Garcia, Billy Lush, Jamey Sheridan, and Taylor Kinney. The show struggled in the ratings from the start and NBC decided not to order any episodes beyond the initial 13 installments.

SavageAmusement 12-15-2009 10:43 AM

Im going to miss Monk :(
I loved the listener also ---sigh

lordsmurf 12-15-2009 07:21 PM

At least Monk and Lost actually ended. :)

I wonder if Dollhouse will have an ending, or just be left up in the air like so many other Fox shows.

debwalsh 12-16-2009 04:41 PM

I think Whedon had enough time on Dollhouse to put together some form of resolution. I think I read recently that they cast the finale after the cancellation announcement.

I liked Ruby and the Rockits, sorry to hear it won't be back. It was a silly show, really more of a baby boomer guilty pleasure than a current show.

Defying Gravity is slated to release on DVD next month. We'll get to see the remaining episodes.

I recorded Beautiful Life because I like some of the supporting cast, but anyone who puts Sarah Paxton into a starring role lately should rethink. She's not the cute, peppy kid who starred in Darcy's Wild Life anymore. I consistently find her to be whiny and lacking depth in adult roles. Which is a shame, because she was fun in Darcy.

The ending for Monk was satisfying, I felt. Unlike the final episodes of Kyle XY or Stargate Atlantis.

I think I need to put together a set of The Listener from downloads. I did like it, but needed space on the DVR, so I nuked the episodes that aired on NBC. Now I have 2 DVR extenders, and life is much more relaxed ... :)
