Add Dead Like Me to the list.
There's probably a formula to the effect of originality being inversely proportional to duration Or network executives are just monkeys who prefer to be copying the monkey next to them

Fringe being the exception of recent years. That said, I don't think a cult show with abysmal ratings like Fringe will ever be able to pull off not being cancelled for three seasons again (it was doing fine for the first couple and then Fox moved it to Friday)...

Yeah... I do think that maybe the monkeys at Fox were just a little frightened of upsetting Uncle Rupert

I think iZOMBIE will be a hit. A zombie who eats people's brains and discovers how they died. How cool and different is that? |

Surprisingly, not that different - it's more or less the set up of the Eliza Dushku show Tru Calling only with brain eating instead of talking corpses.

It was weird about Fringe. A huge hit in season 1. Slight decline in season 2. By season 3, it has lost like three quarters of it's audience. Which is a shame as i thought season 1 was the weakest and the seasons where the audience pulled out, were the best. Chuck is another example of a show with poor ratings but NBC saw it out to make 100 episodes out of it. Chuck and Fringe are very rare examples.
* The following is an (incomplete) list of NBC dramas debuting between 2007 and 2012 (the period Chuck was on air) which failed to get a second season renewal:- Bionic Woman The Black Donnellys The Event Journeyman Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip Raines the Knight Rider reboot Mercy Trauma the Prime Suspect remake Law & Order: Los Angeles Undercovers The Playboy Club The Cape Saving Hope |

Awful show
Like a poor man's Raising hope but without the dysfunctional family support unit I`m surprised at that. It`s been getting great reviews in the US & it`s in it`s 5th season.

What shows remain unsold from this current 2014-15 season?
When a tv channel picks up rights to a show does it vary on what they agree to? Like picking up season 1 only or having options for potential future seasons? As I remember when lost was brought by sky from season 3 onwards. So did channel 4 only buy season 1 and 2. Same with scandal last year. Or do they get first refusal on future seasons? |

For example, Channel 4 often buys more the first two seasons of a show, and will then decide after the first season, whether to buy the third in advance or not. They definitely did it with Homeland, and I think they did it with New Girl too, but don't quote me on that. |

Isn't the beauty and the beast renewal for the summer? They are making it a summer show now so that the ratings don't matter aren't they? Perhaps they may do the same for one more season of Hart of Dixie, leaving space to keep two of their spring shows if they do well.
