ABC was not as cruel as it could have been this season, opting to renew nearly all of its bubble series.

Shows like "Happy Endings," "Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23," "Body of Proof" and "Last Man Standing" will all be back next year, as the alphabet network decided that some shaky ratings waves were not enough to justify abandoning ship.

"Scandal" and "Private Practice" also made the cut in a dual-victory for Shonda Rhimes. Her flagship "Grey's Anatomy" had, obviously, already been picked up for another season.

Not making the cut this year was "GCB," which never exploded as a replacement series for "Desperate Housewives." Fellow newcomer "Missing," which delivered abysmal ratings in the adults 18-49 column, also received the ax.

Throughout the year, ABC had already made its plans to cancel shows like "Pan Am," "Work It," "The River," "Man Up" and "Charlie's Angels" quite clear"


I am going to miss GCB, the show really did grow on me..................
See less See more
Happy to see Castle (never really a doubt) and Body of Proof returning. :)

You clearly didn't give it time. The show is absolutely hilarious.

I'll never understand how someone can determine a show will be bad forever just by watching the "first few minutes".

I recorded but never started watching GCB and Missing. I guess I'll just delete them now.

Why? They are both enjoyable, imo. I've given up on the idea that I should stop watching a show just because it won't be around the next year. Too many good shows missed that way.
It would be ok if they are given enough warning to be able to wrap it up, but I don't like it when a show with a particularly story arc leaves us hanging.

What's the point in watching them, and getting attached to characters, if the shows are cancelled? Besides, with Missing you know you won't have a good ending and will be left hanging.

Exactly

Agreed ... I love JVDB and how he has a great sense of making fun of himself.

Absolutely, he plays "himself" very well. I find myself laughing my butt off the entire 30 minutes of every episode.

All shows end at some point, and the longer you watch, if you're inclined to get attached to characters, your disappointment will be all the deeper.

And many shows have no arc. Possibly Seinfeld was the first to underline that. Big diff, tho, between shows that have a thought out arc and those that don't.

Sure, but if you don't start watching in the first place there's no attachment, disappointment, etc.

So, given that all shows end, it follows that either you're mightily disappointed or don't watch anything but sports and news and movies....?

:D

No, you missed the point. The point is the show has already ended and I haven't even started watching.

I get that part, so what do you watch besides what I listed?!

And yet I don't think I've missed the point. May have missed yours, though; could you kindly restate it?
