Aw, Muppets.  I still haven't finished season 2!

The writing was on the wall for Grinder and Galavant, even though I've heard both were good shows. Bordertown looked shit, was critically panned. Not surprised there, or about Castle given recent news. 

Holy shit, a CSI show got canceled.

Also, in more Castle news, apparently there were "growing tensions" between Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion anyway.

I don't think any Castle fans are sad to see it go. It went on two or three seasons too long. Still an okay show, but clearly jumped the shark.

The CSI franchise is pretty much done now. Cyber was the last spin-off. The original show was cancelled last year.

Eh....I still watch it, but as soon as they announced that Beckett wouldn't be back next season, I decided I was done after this one. If it hadn't been cancelled, it sure as heck would have been a few episodes into the next season. (And I mean yanked cancelled, not finish the season then done)

[Benji]

Don't get me wrong, I was still watching it and would have continued, I just don't think anyone's going to say that it should have continued, since it's past its sell by date.

Grinder rests

[Lineker]

My girlfriend will be gutted to see Castle go. I don't care for crime shows particularly though so yay having the TV more!

[GoGo Yubari]

The thing holding me back from watching The Grinder was my distaste for Rob Lowe. Which is a shame since the rest of the cast was so good.

I'm a little sad about The Muppets going but I never even finished the first season. The creative retooling at midseason felt more jarring to me than anything else.

[LL!]

Sad. I very much enjoyed The Grinder. 

[GhostMachine]

Speaking of Rob Lowe, I wish they'd bring back either him or Hannah Davis for the DirecTV commercials. Because the `The Settlers' commercials are beyond retarded.

In news that probably only affects me and maybe @Baddar(?) Nashville's fourth season will be its last.

Thank god,  the show has been such a hot mess over.  I wish the season opener was actually the series finale.

[Benji]

It's not aired in the UK yet, but I have heard nothing but bad things about it.

It wasn't anything amazing but it would have made an okay finale to the show.

President Bartlett's put down of Dr. Jacobs in S2 of the West Wing is one of the greatest scenes I've ever seen.

"In this building, when the President stands, nobody sits."

Amazing.

Really? I thought the change in showrunners made it a really good show, had a lot of new stuff while still keeping that warmth that the Muppets usually have and lacked in the first half of the season.

Still sad about it being cancelled, it was on an upward slope quality-wise. 

Speaking of ABC shows, the Goldbergs is fucking amazing. They managed to make an amazing episode about a fucking T-shirt.

Sorry, I meant the season as a whole not the premier.

Oh yeah, it's been pretty terrible. I'm watching just in the vain hope that they'll do SOMETHING right, but now I'm just going to watch to finish out the series since I invested some time into it. Also, Maddie is the WORST

I still reference this to friends whenever I get the chance. Simply sensational.

[CobraKaiEnTai]

I'm just going to stop watching new shows when they premiere. Every show I start watching from the beginning in the past 5 years ends up getting cancelled after 1 season.
