And the first new series to be cancelled will be????
 
Of the new shows I've already seen, I'd suspect that <i>The Forgotton</i> might be the first to go.

Any other nominees??

I agree. I watched it and it wasn't that it was so horrible, it's just stuff everyone has seen before if you've ever seen any sitcom.

I vote for CW's 'The Beautiful Life'

Well if it was truly a numbers game "Melrose Place" should be gone by Halloween - but the CW just ordered additional scripts, so IDK about that one.

Otherwise I'm thinking "Mercy" or possibly "The forgotten"

I second that.

CW has nothing to replace TBL with besides 6, 30 minute episodes of "Blonde Chairty Mafia". It will play out until all episodes have aired. CW does not cancel things right away (what was that crappy show a year or two back...Into the Wild?)

The CW nuked Easy Money and Valentine very quickly last season (only 2-4 episodes aired, though Valentine came back in the spring).

too much to ask for Jay Leno, huh?

No, MRC did. CW "sold" them Sunday nights and MRC didn't pay them for it (to make a long story short).

The Christian Slater series, whatever it is.

I kind of liked "Mercy" so that is my pick for first canceled.

The Michael Strahan show Brothers. That one looks like is dead before the first episode.

That would be ironic, given its name.

I have a bad feeling about the quality of the ABC Wednesday 8 and 8:30 PM shows, but the strength of the 9 PM hour suggests to me they'll stay around longer than it sounds like they should.

Cougartown and Modern Family are both good shows. I'd hate to lose both.

it probably costs nothing to produce, so i'd give that a shot since it's paired with that Brad Garrett show.

I'm pretty sure ABC is over the moon about both of their ratings.

To be clear, I'm speaking of Hank and The Middle. They both sound terrible to me.

I think it's pretty clear that Cougartown and Modern Family have a pretty good chance to make it a while based on their debut ratings. I'm suggesting that forecasts good things for Hank and The Middle even though they sound terrible.

I'd think Fox will give Brothers more than a fair shot because Strahan is one of their NFL analysts.

How in the wide wide world of sports did that Brad Garrett show return for another go-round?

Unless the neighbors are back and they got rid of Smoove, I'm still out.
