Renewal and Cancellation news

[Terran77]

The Big Bang Theory is one of CBS' most popular shows, so its renewal is kind of a no-brainer.

Big Bang Theory has already been renewed for 3 seasons, not just one.

They get giant ratings. And bigger paychecks.

Great. The show is pretty similar to the "Friends" concept.

Deadline compiled a list of pilots that haven't been picked up by NBC or ABC:

Of note: 17th Precinct, the Ronald Dean Moore show that featured many of the BSG cast. That show named 'Poe' is also out.

Not bad for what seemed to be a one-trick show at first

Major props to the show for keeping it funny through the four seasons it's been on. It's one of the funniest comedies on right now (along with Parks and Recreation).

No problem. I'm starting to add in all previous news for renewals and cancellations so that every show is listed. Hopefully this doesn't cause a mess but I've realised not everyone knows which shows are doing well and which aren't - better to include everything.

EDIT: And done.

And the CBS news starts to come in. The Defenders, $#*! My Dad Says and Mad Love all cancelled.

 

[Graybrew1]

Kinda liked the Defenders, I like Belushi, but not entirely surprised.

 

[YoshiKart64]

Rumour that CBS has renewed Hawaii Five-0, Mike and Molly and Blue Bloods. Only one site is reporting it so I won't update the table for now.

I'll add the two new animated comedy's to the pickup list in a bit. Also I missed (or it was just announced officially, I'm not sure) that the Kiefer Sutherland starring supernatural show 'Touch' was picked up and wil debut mid-season. It's from Tim Kring (aka that Heroes creator that we all hate) so we'll see how it goes.

Found a bit of infomation on it:

Kring’s new drama, Touch, will focus on a father who discovers that his autistic mute son can predict events before they happen. While remaining in the supernatural genre, Kring will hopefully not muddy the waters with too many ‘heroes’ and focus on the main characters - surely with a dark twist.

Still Kiefer Sutherland back on Fox at Mid Season - '24' deja vu...

Terra Nova sounds like Scifi on Tv, I thought that show was not gonna make it. That sounds like potentially good news.

Yep, some kind of time travel thing involved... somehow dinosaurs involved... somehow other planets involved... I haven't heard much, just rumors and little details, but it sounds like it's going to be expensive and cared for by the creators. And those latter two things are usually good news for a series.

Yes, I just read the article on Wiki for it, instead of just going for the pilot they opted for 13 eps because the sets are very expensive. Good sign.

Still that doesn't mean it won't flop.

I agree, but it sounds like it could be cool, and it sounds like the endangered species that we are know and love.....Science Fiction Tv.
