‘Meredith Vieira’ Poised For Cancellation
Sources tell Page Six that NBCUniversal will yank the The Meredith Vieira Show early next year. A TV insider says the low-rated syndicated talker has been telling reps of celebrity guests that it will be canceled, and the plug will be pulled in March.
In a lengthy Facebook post, Rondi Reed announced that CBS is canceling Mike & Molly, which co-stars Billy Gardell and Melissa McCarthy. “Before you hear it elsewhere (and some already have) this is the Final and 6th Season of Mike & Molly on CBS,” wrote Reed, who plays Peggy on the show.
Last Friday, something happened in network television that’s almost unheard-of these days: A show got canceled. The ABC drama Wicked City was the first show of the new television season, now nine weeks deep, to get the ax. Industry executives said it was the longest period in recent memory that it took so long for a show to go under. It speaks to a gripping anxiety that has spread throughout an industry where hits are in short supply and network officials are becoming extra cautious about dropping something too soon.
ABC’s Wicked City has become the first new series this fall to be yanked off the schedule. After a low-rated premiere followed by two consecutive ratings drops, most recently a -43% Week 3 dive to a 0.4 live+same-day rating among adults 18-49, the period thriller is being canceled. Production on the show will stop after completing Episode 8, which is currently filming.
It’s November and nothing’s been yanked, not even shows that have fallen below the once-deadly 1.0 in 18-49s. Blame time-shifting, cost-cutting and a lack of quality programs.
The drama from CBS Television Studios will conclude its run with a 13-episode order in 2016.
After two seasons and one creative revamp, CBS and star Halle Berry have pulled the plug on summer sci-fi drama series Extant.
We’re entering the third week of the new TV season, and already a number of shows are in trouble. Few of them will probably make it to the November sweeps. What’s interesting about this fall is that not all those shows are new ones.
The CBS drama, based on Stephen King’s novel, has been canceled and will not return for a fourth season.
