New Fall Shows That Will Likely be Canceled

Don't expect to see any of these return for a second season come Fall 2016

New Fall Shows That Will Likely be Canceled
The Fashionisto

It is only the middle of October but we can already predict which new shows probably won't see a second season next fall. Some of them might not even score a full season this year. Let's take a look at the freshman shows on broadcast TV that are likely to be cancelled before the end of this television season.

Blood and Oil (ABC)

"Blood and Oil" premiered this Fall taking "Revenge's" (2011-2015) Sunday 9 p.m. slot on ABC. The show premiered to 6.3 million viewers and earned a 1.4 rating in the all important 18-49 demographic. That time slot has been problematic for ABC for some time now and "Blood and Oil" has not done well enough to fill that gap as the ratings has plummeted since the premiere. Now with the return of "The Walking Dead" on AMCm, which is also in the Sunday 9 p.m. time slot, it is almost impossible for "Blood and Oil" to gain more viewers and increase its rating. Its most previous episode had 3.5 million viewers and a 0.9 rating. For a rookie show, that's a sure cancellation.

Code Black (CBS)

Code Black premiered to 8.5 million viewers and a 1.6 rating at the tail end of September. Seems like decent ratings, no? As expected the ratings have fallen since the premiere, and its most previous episode scored a little under 6.9 million viewers and a 1.2 rating. The thing is, when compared to other shows on CBS, Code Black is way below the network's average and that is what counts when networks are making renewal and cancellation decisions. With Code Black being close to the bottom of the pile of CBS shows ratings-wise, don't expect to see it make a return next fall.

The Grinder (Fox)

This legal comedy starring Rob Lowe has quite a bit of work to do ratings-wise if it intends to see a second season. The show premiered to 4.9 million viewers and a 1.5 demo which already was a mediocre premiere (even by Fox's standards). The most previous episode scored a 0.9 demo and 2.53 million viewers. It currently stands as the second lowest rated new show on Fox this season. It, however, has a greater chance to survive cancellation than Fox's worst rated new show.

Minority Report (Fox)

Another year, another failed Meagan Good drama. Mirroring NBC's "Deception" (2013) which ended after 11 episodes and starred Megan Good, "Minority Report" is Fox's lowest rated overall show this season. The show premiered to 3.9 million viewers and a 1.1 rating last September and has since continued on a steep downward trajectory. Its last episode scored a 0.7 rating with only 2 million viewers. Fox has since cut its episode order from 13 to 10, effectively ensuring that it won't see a full 22 episode run. This means that "Minority Report" is a dead show walking, it will certainly not be renewed.

Truth Be Told (NBC)

Zack Morris is back to his first home, and he might be on his way out sooner than later. "Saved by the Bell" alum Mark-Paul Gosselaar returned to NBC last week in a disappointing way. Gosselaar's new Friday night comedy premiered to a 0.7 rating and 2.5 million viewers. That ties with "Enlisted" (2014) and "The Assets" (2014) as the worst rated series premieres since 18-49 measurements started in the 1980s. This show will probably never see a full season much less a second.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
