So many shows, so little time? Well, not anymore. It's been confirmed, according to E! News, that Fox has decided to cancel four of its TV shows all at once.
Just a few days after the network announced the cancellation of sci-fi drama, "Almost Human", they went on another cancelling spree, cutting four shows in the process.
Unfortunately for the following shows' fans, it's time to say goodbye as Fox pulls the plug on "Enlisted", "Dads", "Survivng Jack", and "Rake"... after only one season each.
So why were they cancelled? According to Cinema Blend, here's why:
"Dads" was expected to be given the boot: after all, it suffered from really bad reviews. Produced by Seth MacFarlane, the show seemed to beg its cancellation soon as it aired with a slew of awful, inappropriate jokes.
"Surviving Jack" was more enjoyable as far as comedies go, but unfortunately, it just didn't have an appeal to viewers, because it's got botched ratings despite having a strong lead-in from the "American Idol".
"Enlisted" did not have the advantage that "Surviving Jack" was supposed to have, but it did manage to score some decent ratings. It also has a solid fanbase because of its take on the lives of military families. However, these things are apparently not enough, and the series is expected to draw to its close as the summer slate kicks in.
"Rake" should have done well as far as series went, considering that it stars Greg Kinnear, who adds just the right comedic depth to the frustrated lawyer that he played on the show. However, the adaptation of the Australian series did not fare so well on the small screen, so Fox just decided to let it go.
The slew of cancellations was made to make room for fresh new shows that included a Batman prequel titled "Gotham". It also had to make time for other dramas that included "Empire" and "Red Band Society."
Still, that didn't mean the four cancelled ones won't be missed. Among the four shows that Fox decided to put in the back burner, which would you miss the most?
