Cancelled Television Shows 2012

Wow! This is one long list of shows that got the axe. We’re kinda bummed about a few of them, and on the other hand–we wonder how on earth television producers ever thought some of the shows on this list would’ve worked in the first place. Is your favorite on the list? One of mine is.

Poor Terra Nova, it only survived one season on Fox. I guess it was too Sci-Fi/Jurassic Park for most folks, but in my house, we enjoyed it every week until its untimely death. Another show we will miss, but has run its course through the years, is One Tree Hill. And after seeing a short portion of Alcatraz I have no idea what they were thinking when they created that show and I’m not surprised one bit that it didn’t survive.

One big upset for CSI fans is the elimination of the Miami series. Another goner: Charlie’s Angels barely made it out of the gate, and if you were unfortunate enough to catch an episode you probably didn’t shed a tear at the funeral.
