Fox has cancelled Touch, a show about a man, after losing his wife in the 9/11 attacks, raising an emotionally-challenged son, finds that he can see future events before they happen. However, Fox didn't see the future(or lack thereof) of that show's Neilsens before they aired it.

A & E has cancelled Intervention, a show about the struggles that chemical addicts face.

Not a bad show, it educated many people about the problems that drunks and space cadets have in trying to quit, or just cope with life.

It ran for 13 seasons.

Another pretty good show, Body Of Proof, was cancelled by ABC, due to low Neilsens. The net tried to sell the show to other nets and orgs, but there were no takers.

At least, the last ep will have closure for some ongoing sagas.

There is a chance this one might be back.
Fans of the show have been blowing up ABC phones and e-mail accounts and the writers of the show have joined a facebook group who is behind this. one of the actors on the show has said she is for the show coming back on ABC or another network.

Showtime has cancelled The Borgias, a show about Pope Alexander VI,(Rodrigo Borgia) who fathered more children by various mistresses than most of parishionere ever did, including the infamous Lucrezia of poisoning infamy, and Cesare, whose murders numbered in the hundreds. Alex became quite an embarrassment to the Catholic Church. Apparently, the show's ratings became an embarrassment to Showtime.

I liked The Borgias. The ratings this year held steady with the ratings last year. Here is a neat article on how the producer wanted the show to end.....

Showtime’s ‘Borgias’ To End Run After Three Seasons; Creator Neil Jordan On How He Planned To Wrap Story

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Wednesday June 5, 2013 @ 12:27pm PDT

The saga of The Borgias is coming to an end. The current third season of Showtime‘s medieval drama will be its last, with the June 16 season finale serving as series finale. Created by Neil Jordan, The Borgias stars Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander VI, the cunning, manipulative patriarch of the infamous Borgia dynasty, who builds an empire by bribing, buying and muscling his way into the papacy.

The series was originally envisioned as going for four seasons, matching the run of predecessor The Tudors. But while filming a pivotal scene in the Season 3 finale, Jordan said Irons turned to him and told him that “this feels like the end of something, that the family has come to an end.” While mulling a potential fourth season, Jordan said he wasn’t sure he had enough material for 10 episodes and wasn’t sure whether Showtime would want to commit to another season either. ”As a compromise, I proposed to finish the arc of all the characters with a two-hour movie,” Jordan said, adding that Showtime commissioned the script and he wrote it. “When they looked at what it could cost, it was just too expensive,” he said. “Sadly, that’s what happened. I would have loved to bring all the characters to a conclusion. All of the actors were heartbroken we couldn’t continue, and so was I.” Jordan said he still likes where the story currently ends with the third season finale, especially for siblings Cesare and Lucrezia, and thanked Showtime for supporting his vision.Doing a standalone movie to wrap the big-budget Borgias would’ve been hard to pull off not only from a production but also from a marketing and promotion standpoint. “Ultimately the show was designed as a regular series, and I was reluctant to do an extra two-hour disconnected from the whole that could be potentially anti-climactic,” Showtime Entertainment president David Nevins said. “Now we have a nice upward build towards the finale. We have a nice ending, a good climax, and I didn’t want to muck it up with an afterthought.”

The Borgias is ending its run on a high note. Season-to-date, the series averages 2.4 million weekly viewers across platforms, on par with its sophomore season through the same time frame, while its most recent eighth episode delivered the series highest-rated episode and night this season. Nevins praised Jordan as “an amazing filmmaker and a storyteller and filmmaker.” “This is what premium television can do — take stories that can’t be contained in two-hour movie and blow them up to make an amazing series. The Borgias is auteur television at its best.”

As for how Jordan envisioned The Borgias to end, “I wanted a totally biblical ending, for the pope to burn in hell,” he said. That is how he wrote the proposed two-hour finale, with the pope dying and no one willing to hear his confession. When they finally find a confessor and the pope starts to repent his sins, the confessor interrupts him, saying, “I’m sorry, it’s too late, you’re already dead and burning in hell.” “This satisfies all moral feelings about the pope,” Jordan said. He is now returning to movies, keeping up hope he could still make the proposed Borgias two-hour finale, maybe as a feature.

Filmed entirely on location in Budapest, The Borgias‘ final episode finds Alexander (Irons) and Cesare (François Arnaud) reconciled at last, and now ready to take their first step toward their ultimate goal: to create a hereditary kingdom across the heart of Italy. Co-starring in the series, a Canadian-Irish-Hungarian Treaty co-production, are Holliday Grainger, Joanne Whalley, Lotte Verbeek, Sean Harris, Thure Lindhart, Gina McKee, Peter Sullivan, Julian Bleach and Colm Feore. Jordan serves as executive producer, writer and director of select episodes. The third season is also executive produced by Jack Rapke, Darryl Frank, John Weber, Sheila Hockin and James Flynn. The Borgias so far has earned Irons a Golden Globe nomination and a series total of 10 Emmy nominations, earning two awards in its second season for Outstanding Costumes and Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music.

Showtime is ending Dexter, a show about a Miami forensics specialist who leads a secret life as a serial killer. It'll run thru this Fall.

it's had a 7-year run, quite a long time for a scripted series.

I believe the nets have learned a lesson about heeding petitions to save a show. The fiasco CBS had in bringing back Jericho didn't go unnoticed by the other nets. Once a show is cancelled, it's over 99.99% certain it won't be returning to the net that cancelled it, and it's usually dead anyway, as its personnel have moved on.

American Dad is ending on Fox after the 2013-14 season, but it's NOT CANCELLED! New eps will be aired on TBS, with reruns being shown on Adult Swim.

NBC has cancelled fashion Star, a reality show in which unknown fashion designers tried to make a line of clothes for a specific theme to impress buyers from major clothes retailers. From the loox of its Neilsens, not too many people gave a hoot.

Fox has cancelled The Goodwin Games a show about three siblings who must compete in various games as per their late father's will, in order to inherit millions of $$. Not a very good show; it lasted only seven eps & will be little-missed.

[robycop3]

AMC has ended breaking bad, a show about a HS chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer & turns to the manufacture/sale of meth to make his family financially secure after his death. Ran for 5 seasons. Sorry, that show sent the wrong message to some people!

CW's Capture mercifully ended the other night. it was a poor attempt to cash in on the hunger games phenom. It barely had 600K viewers in its last ep.

I know, that's a lotta people in one place, but it's hardly a drop in the bucket when compared to our population of over 300 million.

Good Riddance!

ABC has axed Lucky 7 after 2 eps, a show about an employee group who wins the lottery, for the first cancellation by a major net in the new season. Shows of this genre have never done well, and this one stunk anyway. Dunno what ABC was thinking...

[robycop3]

CBS has cancelled We Are Men, yet another unfunny sitcom about four men coping with divorce, being jilted, etc. That genre has been worn out. While CBS can afford to not be patient with a failing show, yanking it after only 2 eps is the exception rather than the norm.

[robycop3]

Whaddya think will be the next show to bite the dirt?

Mindy Project?

Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

Trophy Wife?

Some other?

[robycop3]

Guess I was wrong. Ironside was given the heave-ho ny NBC after 3 eps. Just didn't have any star power of Raymond Burr, nor as good a storylines.(The original lasted 8 seasons.)

[robycop3]

ABC has cancelled Back In The Game, a dramedy that was simply not funny despite an all-star cast.

[robycop3]

Lifetime has cancelled The Client List, which was at one time a popular show. However, it lost its luster and its Neilsens, which doomed it.

Fox has cancelled The Cleveland Show. Too bad; I kinda liked it!
