Man, nearly every TV series I watch has been cancelled!

Shannara Chronicles, then Ash vs the Evil Dead and now Last Man on Earth. If The Middle and Timeless, which is on the bubble, gets cancelled, I will have Young Sheldon and Roseanne left, Big Bang has to be on it's way out. My own fault for not watching every popular, trendy show that comes out, I like what I like.

My wife told me Designated Survivor and Quantico are both being cancelled. These are two of our favorites. Of course we realized several years ago that we are not the target audience of TV since we are boomers.

I was enjoying Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency on BBC America before they cancelled it 6 months ago after only 2 seasons...

Haven't watched any of those. Keifer with glasses made him look like his Grandfather, Tommy Douglas, the Baptist Minister who became the Father of Socialism in Canada. No doubt it was on purpose.

The only show I watch faithfully, The Americans, is in its final season. After that I got nothing but Impractical Jokers on TRU TV.

Seems like most everything on TV now is crap. I suppose it's because I'm an old man now and shows are created for the younger audience, whose likes does not appeal to me.
Glad Last man standing and Roseanne are back.

Roseanne is another quality series, speaks to real people. I like obscure shows, I have been watching Farscape, a cool series where the main characters are friends and treat each other like ****. The main character is so sarcastic, a neat little sci fi in space series.

I don't watch much TV. I'll watch movies and an occasional series like Ray Donavan & Ballers in the fire house because I don't have premium channels at home, 50 guys splitting the bill makes it worth it. Tough to watch that way due to going out the door but the DVR works great. At home I watch Iron Resurrection, Fantom Works and if I remember Roseanne. Starting to grow tired of the made up drama from Dan at Fantom though. The producers have to realize car guys watch this show and his major dilemmas' are just every day hurdles in the restoration world.

Used to be a huge Simpson fan too.

CBS just announced Scorpion is cancelled. Seems any television show that you can watch with your family, without being embarrassed or needing to change the channel when an unnecessary scene comes on, is short lived. Almost cannot find a show or episode where traditional settings or characters are the norm, no matter which media source is producing or airing the program. Hopefully some watchable shows remain on air that do not include an agenda that aims to influence non-adults. Just an opinion and outlook, or just getting too old for most of today's shows and movies.

Ain't that the truth! All this sex and foul language is not necessary to make a movie or program good. Our children and grandkids do not need to see this garbage.

Scorpion would have been fine, if all of their 'Genius' stuff wasn't bullshyte...... I'm no genius, but even I knew that most all of it was bogus. It was an insult to our intelligence. Same thing with the new MacGyver. Ricky Dean did the real stuff......... just sayin

Six on The History Channel is based on the Navy Seals. 1st season was good and there is a 2nd season premiering I believe this week. The trailer for it looked a little cheesy. I read where the original premise was for this to be a single season but it did well so they could be trying to milk it.

Many good series get taken before they are finished. It happens. Some shows go on too long, and turn into horrible parodies of themselves. Few actually get completed while still saying true to itself.

Couldn't agree more. NCIS is good example of that. Has some drama, but they always get their perp. Lot's of serial series try to get too cerebral, or veer way off course from where they started.

Buh-bye to Roseanne. Sucks because I liked how they did their best to balance out the politics in a funny and constructive way. We'll just leave it at that w/out discussing further, for fear of getting this thread locked.
