As another Inquisitr article highlighted, CW had their own list of cancelled TV shows for 2014 that included The Carrie Diaries, Star Corssed, and The Tomorrow People.
This time of year can be hard on fans who loved the shows they soon won’t be watching once again. A flurry of new shows for the Fall season can help, but not always. For those who enjoyed watching Robin Williams return to prime time TV, they’ll miss watching him on The Crazy Ones. NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said getting Thursday to a good place was the main priority for the network. He’s excited about bringing on new series after introducing an “unprecedented number of new original series” after a “stellar year” in scripted TV shows.
On a good note, there were a few TV shows that managed to avoid the 2014 cancellation list despite rumors they faced the axe. The Mentalist had less viewers than in previous seasons, but was able to score a seventh season. In that respect, not all shows were scratched off the renewals list.
This is show business, after all. Nothing is guaranteed to be around unless you hear about the record-setting numbers in viewership ratings. Some shows go through down periods when they reach a certain number of seasons. The ratings for ABC’s Revenge went down in season 2, but made it to season 3. Storylines were shifted to to bring back former viewers and see ratings shoot up with new fans. Now the popular show has been renewed for a fourth season.
