There’s a lot to choose from when it comes to finding a TV show you like. But as we go through 2018, it’s best to brace yourself, because there are plenty of shows old and new that will fall victim to the inevitable cancellation wave. It stinks, but it’s how things are done in a time of total TV overload.
Cancellations are crushing, no matter which way you slice it, and the worst part is that you’re rarely expecting it — especially if you’re an avid watcher of the now-canceled show. How many of us sit in cold fear watching something we love and worry that if other people aren’t watching it, then it will just go *poof!* from the TV schedule? Anybody? Just us?
So, in light of this, let’s take a moment to salute the TV shows we loved that sadly got the ax in 2018.

The show, which has 4,000 episodes filmed over the course of 27 years under its belt, won't technically disappear from TV. Per The AP, The Jerry Springer Show will live on in syndication on channels like The CW. There's no official announcement of the show's ending and producers apparently vaguely hinted at the possibility of future episodes. But all things considered, fans should wave goodbye to this daytime TV staple for now.
‘The Opposition’
Fact: Comedy Central canceled Jordan Klepper's late-night show The Opposition after one season, but is giving Klepper the chance to host his own weekly series titled Klepper.
Klepper released a statement saying, “I couldn’t be more proud of the hard working, creative staff of The Opposition who tirelessly filtered the world through the chaos of America’s fringe. This staff is remarkable. Moving forward, I will be leaving The Opposition’s paranoid Jordan Klepper character behind. I figured maybe, right now, the world could use one less asshole. This new Jordan Klepper guy I know intimately cause I’ve been him for the better part of my life. He’s eager to get into the field, talk to real America and make a kickass television show.”
‘People of Earth’
TBS did an about-face in early June, canceling the previously-renewed comedy People of Earth, starring comedians Wyatt Cenac and Anna Gasteyer. The series, which follows one journalist chronicling a support group for folks who believe they've been abducted by aliens, will end after Season 2.
‘Shadowhunters’
After three seasons, the Freeform supernatural teen drama Shadowhunters was confirmed as canceled by Deadline. The outlet went on to report that the series would wrap up in the spring of 2019, with two episodes added onto the shortened Season 3, meaning fans with have 12 episodes when Season 3B (3A wrapped on May 15) hits the air rather than the original 10 episodes.

‘Roseanne’
The downfall of the Roseanne revival was swift in late May. After the show's star, Roseanne Barr, tweeted out a racist (and since-deleted) comment about former Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, Variety reported that ABC chose to pull the plug on the revived sitcom. The series had previously been renewed for Season 2 following its high ratings and astonishingly high viewership numbers when the reboot premiered in March.
ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey released a statement explaining Roseanne's cancelation, making it clear that it was Barr's comments that led to the show getting the ax. "Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values," Dungey wrote, "and we have decided to cancel her show."

The Chew will continue to air through September.
‘UnREAL’
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed in May that UnREAL would likely end after its fourth season.

‘Falling Water’
Deadline confirmed the USA Network drama Falling Water was canceled after two seasons. The series has been one of the network's lowest-rated shows since it first premiered, which is likely why this sci-fi drama about three people who discover they can manipulate their dreams finally got the ax.
‘LA to Vegas’
Fox confirmed the cancellation of the Dylan McDermott-led freshman comedy LA to Vegas on May 21, 2018. Cast member Amir Talai initially broke the news tweeting, "I love you so much #LAtoVegas fans.

"I have enjoyed producing and starring in this beautifully complicated world and playing such an empowering yet flawed character — a woman, a detective, but, first and foremost, a mother," she wrote. "Now looking at it with a little distance, playing Harlee strengthened me and helped me grow into a more self-assured woman. It's crazy how some parts permeate your soul and change you forever and for that I am grateful. We crafted a poetic three-season arc on how her journey ends, which is true redemption. The way only Harlee could have done it — the hard way, the road less traveled. I thank NBC and all the talented actors, writers, crew and producers for going on this journey with us!
‘Stuck in the Middle’
After three seasons, Stuck in the Middle was canceled over at Disney. The series followed the adventures of one middle-school girl and her life in a bustling household with her big family.
