I am shocked. The ratings were dreadful. Yet they cancelled Perception, a show that got double what Legends got.

I quite liked Legends. Though I quite liked Perception too.

Legends has been renewed for season 2.
Unbelievable really considering the ratings, but I am a happy camper as I thought it reasonable bang bang fodder...... As regards Perception, I wasn't a fan but know a few who were gutted when it was canned. |

Different people will be working on the show and film so the show won't get neglected at all.

That's the problem with DC current situation though and why it makes no sense to have a TV show and film about The Flash going at the same time
Especially as they are doing no other films based on their other TV characters like Arrow or Constantine Also it doesn't seem like DC are planning to drop their TV plans either as they are moving ahead with the Supergirl TV show and if rumours are to be believed then that will cross over with Arrow and The Flash It's why the only thing that makes sense would be if DC went down the route of multiple universes that are seperate but run at the same time! |

I don't see that as a problem. TV and film are different mediums, they don't need to be married to one another.

I didn't mean that they need to married to each other but we have yet to have a comic book TV show and film running at the same time which I see as a problem as why would fans of the Flash TV show go to see a film when they already associate the TV show with that character
However DC may stop the TV show after a few seasons before the film comes out to avoid confusion among the general public |

But if DC starting controlling the TV series to protect the film, as they likely will do, then it will become a problem...
Film is the greater medium (yes, giving your point more credence) but I don't think the audiences are the same. Not everyone who is a fan of tv Flash will automatically jump to a film version and vice versa. Also, luckily, they can use a different incarnation of the Flash, to make it more distinctive. |

That is a possibility. But I still don't view them as one of the same. They can exist simultaneously, within their own continuity.

Gosh this thread has really changed, i thought it was about cancelled/renewed tv shows in the US? It seems to have descended in to a DC fan boy debate. Could you not have started a new thread rather than clog this one up?

2 and a half men has it's finishing date early next year, Shame in some ways as it was good when it was good
Even the Ashton episodes were decent at times, Jon Cryer though really has gone too annoying with his character so i won't miss that |

Gracepoint got cancelled. Hardly a shocker. Being against Scandal and it's lack of innovation probably killed it.

True Detective, Rogue, Murder In The First and Fargo. Plus the upcoming Secrets & Lies, American Crime and Wayward Pines. All are shows dealing with one crime occurring and spending 10 or so episodes investigating it. It's becoming a new trend. Eventually one of them wouldn't appeal well to the viewing public. |

I think another reason it flopped as there are too many shows on tv like it

Which is rather ironic given the show which started the trend Murder One only lasted two series (and abandoned the format in the second).

According to TVBTN, The CW has three teetering on the edge, The 100 (29 episodes), Jane the Virgin (23/4 episodes) and Reign (44 episodes). Which do we think are likely to be renewed and cancelled?
TVBTN thinks Reign might be saved because it's closer to syndication, but it has the worst ratings of the three. I think The 100 and Jane might be saved, with Reign going... |
