The TV graveyard is getting some new corpses this time of year as word trickles out about what shows are getting cut or just ending their run of new episodes.
This year saw some major shows end their run like the Melissa McCarthy sitcom ‘Mike & Molly’ on CBS, while some other shows simply could not develop solid ratings to support another season despite having die hard fans like the Marvel based series ‘Agent Carter’ on ABC. Entertainment Weekly has a look at several noteworthy recent cancellations on the TV landscape here.

Here is a fitting look at quality shows that were cancelled too soon from WatchMojo
Cancellation has not the ultimate end for your favorite cult shows as some have been able to live on in reruns, renewed on new platforms like Netflix and other channels. The biggest example of this might be Family Guy was cancelled but renewed by FOX years later after big sales on DVD and revived exposure as a rerun on Adult Swim. The edgy cartoon lead by the mind of Seth MacFarlane became a pillar for the FOX network, and allowed other MacFarlane shows like ‘American Dad’ and ‘the Cleveland Show’ to get the green light. So don’t worry maybe your favorite canned show will come back online somewhere. What show that got let go too soon are you going to miss the most?
