After 15 years on the air, CBS has decided to drop CSI. The sad thing, and the reason this cancellation took many fans by surprise, is that the show is actually doing pretty well in ratings. Here’s the real reason it was canceled.
The Mindy Project
Fans everywhere were beyond shocked when the news broke that this show had gotten canceled by Fox. How could the network take away a show that was so beloved by fans? It was a cruel surprise, indeed.
Revenge
Viewers fell in love with this show in its first season, but it turns out that you can only watch so much of a person getting revenge before it becomes boring. We never would have guessed last year that this season would be Revenge's last.
The Following
Another series that had a strong start right out of the gate, but wasn't able to keep viewers interested. Even after the show was revamped this season, it still couldn't keep its audience.
Constantine
A TV series based on a comic book, this show had a lot of promise. But though it was a favorite for many fans, the ratings were never strong.
Backstrom
This series had a lot going for it: It starred Rainn Wilson and was created by Hart Hanson, the genius behind Bones. On paper, it looked like one that would be around for a while, but it's already gone.
One Big Happy
Seriously? NBC canceled a show with Ellen DeGeneres as executive producer? How dare they? That's something we never would have predicted before the show premiered.
Cristela
Reviews were pretty good for this show and some sites were even saying it was a good bet to be renewed. But ABC decided to pull the plug.
Battle Creek
CBS has overall been doing pretty well with its new shows and this one looked like it could do well. But with hardly half a season under its belt, it's already gotten the chop.
Resurrection
Season 1 got off to a strong start, which led to a second season. But the show just couldn't keep up its momentum and ended up on the chopping block.
Forever
Sure, it was a long shot, but the ABC series about a man who was born in the 1700s and couldn't die so used his work as a coroner to study his own mortality had a pretty unique story line. Too bad ABC didn't agree.
The Millers
This show looked great. It had a fun cast, it was funny and the ratings were doing OK. Then suddenly it was gone. That was definitely a shock to those viewers who had already fallen in love with it.
Allegiance
The speed with which this series was canceled was the shocking part. Viewers barely got to see five episodes before NBC pulled the plug.
The Messengers
Just three episodes. That's all it took for The CW to decide that The Messengers wasn't going to be picked up for another season. Talk about not even giving a series a shot.
State of Affairs
Though many predicted that Katherine Heigl wouldn't be able to pull off her role on the political series, she actually did a pretty good job. The show looked like it might build an audience, but ultimately never did.
Unforgettable
The surprise with this show wasn't so much that it was canceled by CBS, but that another network is currently looking at picking it up.
