[DJ Doena]

This just in: Chuck gets a 13 episode fourth season. V is renewed, too. Heroes is most likely dead. FlashForward, Happy Town, Romantically Challenged: dead. Life Unexpected gets a 12 episode second season.

More details (for other shows, too) here.

I hadn't heard that V was renewed..I'm glad.  I'm liking it.  I'm ..irritated that Happy Town is getting pulled already. I'm really liking it.

Soooo many good or possibly good shows are pulled before they've even got a proper chance.  :thumbdown:I understand that the ones which get cancelled are probably not pulling in good money and numbers for their networks, but it's so frustrating for fans. It seems they would rather just cancel straight away rather than spend that little bit extra on advertising.

FOX is the biggest culprit for this. And they especially seem to have it out for their great sci-fi action shows. Firefly, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Dollhouse etc. FOX's anoswer to everything seems to be cancel cancel cancel sometimes.

I never got to watch either episode of Happy Town that I recorded. I guess there is no sense in bothering now. Oh well... at least I didn't get attached to the show or anything.

I also decided to not even bother with the second episode.

[Dragonfire]

I've seen all three episodes and thought it was pretty good..interesting.  Oh well.  Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened and it won't be the last.

I think I agree with Sheldon's thinking - from Big Bang Theory..can't remember the episode title, but it was the Valentine's Day episode.  Anyway, Sheldon blames Rupert Murdoc for canceling Firefly.  I think I like that idea.

Mercy and Trauma have just been cancelled, too.

And Law & Order.

[addicted2dvd]

OK... this sucks... I was really enjoying Mercy!

Too bad about L & O. I thought this year was better than last year was. They bounced it around too much for it to get a decent following I guess.

20 years isn't a bad run though. 

[karmesinrot]

Thank God for Scrubs finally being cancelled! about 2 years too late imo

[snowcat]

Scrubs was one of my favourite series ever... up until Season 6... Seaspn 6 was terrible... what the hell happened to Zach Braff seriously!

I am glad to see House, The Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock and The Office getting renewals

Heroes has just been killed: http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2010/05/14/heroes-cancelled-by-nbc/

[Najemikon]

The last time I saw a Heroes episode I couldn't grasp just how dreadful it was. The first season wasn't quite as good as I'd expected and it lost me quickly in the second. The last time I saw it they were still just circling each other with the same crap! Crosses and double-crosses, family, not family, oh they are family. Just bollocks really.
