This Week’s Canceled DVR “Season Passes”

With a new Fall TV season, it’s only fair:

  • 2 Broke Girls - Comedically bankrupt.
  • The Playboy Club - NBC saved me the trouble.
  • Free Agents - And now, so are the talented leads after NBC pulled the plug. Perhaps the original UK version will be funnier on BBC America.
  • Whitney - Star also co-created the aforementioned 2 Broke Girls. ‘Nuff said.
  • Up All Night - Put it to bed, please. Or maybe to sleep.
  • Charlie’s Angels - No Farrah = No, thank you.
  • Unforgettable - Quickly became forgettable in the cookie-cutter morass that is the CBS police procedural.
  • Terra Nova - I enjoyed it more when it was Land of the Lost.

A network programming schedule, low and no ratings bloodbath:

  • The Chicago Code - Loved to see the city get its props, but the characters started to feel like set dressing too. Canceled by FOX.
  • The Defenders - The Belushi/O’Connell chemistry couldn’t overcome the bland case load. Canceled by CBS.
  • Detroit 187 - It took about 18 episodes to shake off its NYPD Blue conventions. But then it was too late. Canceled by ABC.
  • The Event - The West Wing met The X-Files… about 10 years ago. Canceled by NBC.
  • Law & Order: LA - So it wasn’t Skeet’s fault, after all. Canceled by NBC.
  • No Ordinary Family - Liked the premise. Could never get past “Vic Mackey” marrying lovely Julie Benz and playing the doting, “clobberin’ time” dad. Canceled by ABC.
  • V - Perhaps when the real hostile alien invasion actually arrives, we’ll just send a team of network execs to thwart them in nothing flat. Canceled by ABC.

  • Hawaii Five-O - The pop and snap which crashed the programming beach was eventually swept out with the generic police procedural tide, and it’s never come back.
  • Body of Proof - Is not in this flavorless medical drama pudding.

  • Chase - Won’t be able to run away from cancellation.
  • Detroit 187 - Liked it better when it was NYPD Blue.
  • Outlaw - Motion to suppress interest granted.
  • Outsourced - Lowest laughs per capita on television.
  • The Whole Truth - And nothing but a dud, so help me.
  • UnderCovers - Awaiting its burn notice.

That should free up some hard drive space.

  • Parks & Recreation - There’s dry, and then there’s comedically arid.

  • Knight Rider - OMFG! My sincerest apologies, Mr. Hasselhoff, for the ribbing from 1982-1986.
