For some reason, I thought it had been announced that this was the last season of Parks and Rec. Glad it's coming back.
Where did all the good hour-long shows go? I'm down to GoT, Survivor, and Vikings.

breaking bad is coming back in juneish i think, Hannibal, and Bates motel is keeping me pretty entertained i would recommend them both. Vikings season ending just left me with GoT on sunday night pretty disappointed with that.

Up all Night getting canceled kinda sucks. Was semi funny show wife and I enjoyed. Got kinda weird last season having Wil Arnett start a construction company with Applegate's brother, but still had some lol moments. Oh well, Modern Family + Cougar Town for another year!

glad to hear hawaii 5-0 got renewed, show is goofy but beautiful to watch in HD. Hope Vegas, Parks & Rec, Vegas, and Happy Endings make it. Hope Community gets cancelled, I'd rather see the actors in different stuff than flog that dead horse.

I did hear Happy Endings may move to USA, which is weird. Also FX network is spinning out a new network, which should hopefully lead to a bunch of new shows (for both FX and the new... FXX? FFX? whatever)

Don't trust the bitch in apt. 23 was getting amazing, still sad about its cancelling. Thought they were wrapping up parks and rec but I guess if the office and community are going away there isn't much left

If there's one thing NBC knows how to do, it's kill comedies.

And I agree about Apartment 23. It started out basically being propped up by Van der Beek, but the rest of the cast finally started coming into their own. I'm sure ABC will find another doctor show to replace it though, so don't worry.

Not looking to bad for me, only 2 shows that are cancelled/under threat that i've been watching are Red Widow and Hannibal and tbh neither are in my top 10 anyway.

Vikings renewed for season 2, if you want that on the list

The networks have gotten so bad at this that the shows I'd be depressed over losing don't even make it to actually appearing on TV.

The show was devolving into a disaster that was only halted when Christina Applegate had the foresight to jump ship. NBC apparently had a lot of faith in the show (perhaps since Lorne Michaels was producing), but since it never got the ratings they were looking for, they just kept retooling it, hoping they'd hit on the right combination eventually. After the show went on hiatus for the last time, they were planning on changing it into a multi-camera format with a live studio audience. And it just startedgetting even crazier from there:

One pitch placed a portal between the two worlds - the single-cam and multi-cam versions - that only baby Amy could see. Another idea put [new showrunner Linda] Wallem and her real-life partner, [Melissa] Etheridge, in front of the camera, perhaps with the action taking place in their living room.

Ultimately, a script was written in which Applegate, Arnett and Rudolph played actors portraying the characters Reagan, Chris and Ava on a fictional show called Up All Night. Off the show-within-a-show, Arnett's character would live at home with his mother, and Applegate's would be dating. Rudolph's real-life pregnancy was being written into the storyline - and included a "who's the daddy?" twist.
If there's anything to be sad about with the show getting cancelled, it's that we never got to see just how insane this trainwreck would become.

I hope Hannibal makes it. I'm just getting into it and it's pretty awesome.

I was pissed last year about Awake... although they did the worst ending ever on that, and Terra Nova.
