Ranking the Likelihood of ‘Prodigal Son,’ ‘Manifest’ & More Canceled Shows Being Saved

Manifest Finale Calling Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Heartsong Rebel Sagal

If you’re not over the cancellations of some of your favorite shows and are hoping that at least a couple luck out like Lucifer, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Last Man Standing have in the past, you’re not alone.

After all, the 2020-2021 season brought the end of series like All Rise, Manifest, Prodigal Son, and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, all of which we’re not quite ready to let go of just yet. But there are also others, like MacGyver (especially with Lucas Till’s new role, showrunner Monica Macer detailing quite a bit of Season 6’s plans to TVLine, and the fact CBS, which canceled it, owns it), Mom, NCIS: New Orleans, and Call Your Mother, where we know seeing anything else — other than perhaps some sort of NCIS crossover — is very much a long shot (though nothing is necessarily impossible).

With “Save” campaigns across the internet and some studio executives on record saying they’re searching for new homes for a few series, we take a look at the ones that may have a shot to come back in some way somewhere (from least to most likely).

Rebel

Given that Rebel was canceled after five episodes and never seemed to pick up the OMG-momentum we’ve grown used to on Thursdays on ABC, we’d be shocked if it got a second chance somewhere else.

Debris

Considering the number of questions we had after the Debris finale, this is definitely one of the cancellations that hurt the most. (And it’s impossible to imagine everything being wrapped up in a movie, like Timeless was.) While showrunner J.H. Wyman told Deadline he’d “look for other avenues to continue telling this story” if it was canceled prior to the announcement, we’re sadly not feeling that hopeful about it happening on-screen.

All Rise

Warner Bros. TV Group Chairman Channing Dungey named All Rise as one of the shows they’re “having conversations on” finding a new home, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But we sadly don’t think it will happen — unless perhaps CBS un-cancels it — simply because it’s hard to imagine another home for a courtroom drama like it.

For Life

While at the time of the cancellation, Sony Pictures TV planned to shop the drama around, President Jeff Frost’s words to Deadline in May make it sound like the chances of a success are slim: “We are trying, we are doing anything we can to find a new home for it but it’s challenging.” However, Frost also named Hulu as “a possibility” to THR around the same time.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist

The #SaveZoeysPlaylist is among the most active fan campaign at the moment, though that doesn’t necessarily reflect its chances. (Lucifer did benefit from its fans’ passion.) And with Peacock passing — a move to the streaming service was possible and did happen with another canceled NBC series, A.P. Bio — we’re less optimistic about seeing what happens next.

Prodigal Son

The thriller is another show Dungey said “we’re having conversations on” to THR, so there might be hope. Sadly, according to reports, HBO Max has passed, but showrunners Chris Fedak and Sam Sklaver were hopeful that they’d be able to continue their story when TV Insider spoke with them about the finale. “We’re not dead yet,” Sklaver said. “We’re going to keep fighting as hard as we can to find a place to keep telling the story because as epic is our finale was and as happy as we are with how we ended the series’ run at Fox, we know we have a lot more amazing stories to tell and we’re hoping to find a place to tell him. Don’t give up yet.”

Manifest

Another passionate ongoing fan campaign at the moment is the one to #SaveManifest. After NBC canceled it, creator Jeff Rake tweeted his hope to find a new home, and the writers’ account added that the show is “doing so well on Netflix.” It is currently in the Top 10 on Netflix and at least for us, was featured prominently on the streaming service’s home page recently. Plus, Netflix did call attention to the first two seasons’ availability on Twitter on June 16. It could mean nothing, but you never know.

    I love Rebel! This show has so much personality that I can't believe it's already been canceled. I love all of the shows being canceled in this article. They could also bring back Beauty and the Baker because it didn't get a fair shot at all! All of these Bachelors and games shows are for the birds.

    1. G

      GoldAnchor

      I agree. It was funny, upto date, politically great and well acted. We need more Rebel.

      1. B

        BluePlanet

        I agree on both. I'm really upset over Rebel. I really enjoy this one.

    Manifest needs to continue. That is that!

      I am so mad Manifest is canceled. I really like this show, never missed an episode, in fact I will watch episodes again.

      1. O

        OrangeCherries

        Why not keep on our local channels. Not all people can afford those other streaming channels. I never missed an episode of manifest & now I won't know ending

        I agree with you. So much unfinished business on this show. What about the stolen baby? Why, just why!!!!

      GoldPizza

      #savemanifest I only have Hulu to catch the manifest episodes I miss. Yesterday I closed my account, no more to watch I guess. I will be back where ever it shows up. Nexflix? Hulu? Peacock? Anyone? We understand what needs to be done, make it right. #savemanifest

    3. C

      CyanCherries

      I agree, the finale of Manifest still opened up for another season

  3. G

    GoldGlasses

    I can't believe that Prodigal Son is cancelled. I keep waiting for the next episode ... And now, nothing! What a rip.

    1. C

      CyanFries

      It was announced a couple of weeks before the last episode aired.

  4. P

    PurpleTrumpet

    I think I will wait until the season ends before I start watching a series. My taste must be terrible because I keep watching series that the network abandons just as it was getting interesting. Manifest, MacGyver,debris and prodigal son were 4 of the 5 shows i never missed, now I'm wondering about Blacklist.

    1. O

      OliveBox

      Blacklist was already renewed for season 9, so at least is guaranteed for one more season.

      1. R

        RedTurtle

        This show should have been canceled season 4. It gotten stupid

    2. O

      OliveBox

      Prodigal Son was the most interesting of most network shows! Although I think it was competing for ratings with other shows. Couldn’t they have made it on a different night!?

      Pretty sure Paramount+ is going to take it!

    3. O

      OlivePlanet

      I left Blacklist once they killed off Tom, but I read the actress Megan Boone who plays Liz is leaving the show. Not sure if she will play in the whole season, some or at all unfortunately.

  5. G

    GreenGoggles

    Prodigal Son is one if the best shows on TV. NCIS New Orleans, Manifest, Rebel, and All Rise are all excellent. The networks come out with these great shows, then cancel them. I vote to save them!

    1. R

      RedBone

      Lets save Prodigal Son and Manifest, love these shows. I Pvr all my shows.

  6. D

    David G

    I don't get why NBC won't move Manifest to Peacock.As for Prodigal Son,considering how many somewhat similar shows have been saved by Netflix and others you'd think it might happen.Debris as well,couldn't it go to Peacock?

    1. G

      GreenWrench

      Because they don’t see potential in good rating in the show so they dropped it

      Idiot move but whatever

      Hoping for a Netflix revival because I’m done with NBC they had their chance

      Oh well

      #savemanifest

      1. O

        Typical NBC, they routinely cancel shows that are decent. replace with yet another pointless reality show.

      They should have moved Manifest back to Mondays when they saw the ratings drop against Young Sheldon. It had good ratings on Mondays during the Summer....so what do they do? Move it to Thursday against Young Sheldon in the Fall....brilliant move!

  7. O

    OrangeBasketball

    NBC, ABC and CBS cancel good shows and keep adding awful reality & game shows like Love Island, Big brother, Bachelorette, Celebrity dating game..etc.

    1. R

      RedTurtle

      Money money money has nothing to do with talented shows

  8. P

    PurpleRing

    So basically this article is suppose to discourage many fans who fight to save their shows. Unfortunately for you, I don’t get discouraged so easily. Thank you for the motivation to fight even harder. Challenge accept. #SaveMacGyver

  9. R

    RedTurtle

    Rebel is a good show and should be considered to renew for longer than 5 episodes!! Give it time!

  10. O

    OrangePumpkin

    I loved Rebel dont understand mybr a different night or time, however one the best shows on TV, maybe you could get rid of the reality shows like the Bachelor or bachelorette.

  11. C

    CyanCandy

    Save prodigal son and manifest...

  12. B

    Prodigal Son was one of my best shows. I hate that it was canceled. I hope that it will continue with Netflix or Peacock.

    I like Rebel, For Life and All Rise those were my weekly TV shows to watch. Please bring them back 🙏

    1. G

      GreenQuill

      All rise was a good show

  15. G

    GreenPretzel

    Rebel was never given a fair chance. So much trash on TV how this show didn't sell the with the last two episodes surely would with this great cast and story???

  16. G

    GoldCar

    I don't understand . How can MacGyver be a long shot because of Lucas’s new role? He got the role before the cancellation!

    How a new role in another show when he imagined that his other show was still going can have an impact like that?

    If you don't know: lot of actors/actress do several shows in parallel, including him.

  17. R

    RedQuill

    Just because lucas has a new role dosent mean he can't do both he's done things in-between macgyver befor why not now we're not giving up #SaveMacGyver

  18. P

    PurpleHammer

    Please bring back REBEL!!!

  19. P

    PurplePuzzle

    Manifest has waaaaay to many cliffhangers. Please bring it back on Peacock or another channel!!

  20. O

    OrangePumpkin

    Interesting article. Saying that MacGyver is unlikely to be brought back when Lucas took the pilot on BEFORE announcement of the cancellation, and was a producer on the show so he was unlikely to leave, looks like he was planning to do both. Especially considering FX has shorter seasons, maxing out at 13 episodes, and could be filmed during breaks like Lucas has filmed movies. It would be great to see some actual investigation.

  21. G

    GoldTrumpet

    get a petition going to save the show Manifest

  22. G

    GreenBulb

    These network exec's stink. They seem to get rid of the good shows and leave on crap. I love manifest and prodical son.

  23. R

    RedSushi

    Was more excited to watch another Manifest season after the cliffhanger of the finale !!

    # save Manifest

    Keep Manifest on the air.

    PurpleBug

    I love Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist!!!! Hopefully it’ll go to Netflix or Hulu or something.

    1. O

      OliveClover

      I also love Zoey's Playlist and Manifest. Now I'm wondering how they make their decisions about canceling these shows when they are so interesting.

  26. R

    RedPretzel

    Check your facts. Lucas talked about a "special project" he was excited to work on BEFORE he knew about the cancelation. He was always going to do it and FX only orders 13 eps/season max. MacGyver can still be saved and he'd have time to do it. Meredith Jacobs seems to be biased. First she put up an article with a poll that never closes - but maybe it will now that Prodigal Son is winning, since her love for it is in her bio? And then this. There are multiple interviews where Lucas states he was intalks to do this pilot before the cancelation. It was meant to be a summer project, much like Son of the South a couple years ago. Please stop spreading misinformation about our leading man and our campaign.

  27. O

    OliveSword

    #SAVEMANIFEST!!

  28. B

    BlueBandAid

    I think someone needs to start fact checking these articles because the cast of MacGyver didn’t know about the cancellation when Lucas took on this new role and as far as we all know he wasn’t planning on leaving Mac, he’s shown in the past that he’s fully capable of handling other projects on his off season.

  29. P

    I JUST DISCOVERED MANIFEST

    ON NETFLIX AND I CANT STOP WATCHING  

    PLEASE NETFLIX BRING MANIFEST BACK!!!!

  30. O

    OliveClover

    Prodigal Son was the best show on FOX the last 2 years. I don't understand how it got cancelled. Best writing, originality and best ensemble cast. It needs a new home.

    1. C

      CyanFries

      FOX does make a habit of canceling good shows

  31. G

    GoldWheel

    I liked Rebel!! It was different and entertaining. I hope it does come back!! If ABC doesn't pick it back up I hope another streaming network does. Rebel wasn't given a chance. And whatever happened to trying different days and times?

  32. B

    BlueChefHat

    Prodigal Son and Debris were excellent shows , they have to tried to get another station to keep them going, although you did not mention Clarice which is another expectacular shoe

  33. P

    PurpleBattery

    All Rise should definitely be saved! Both my husband and I loved this series. Great story lines & great characters! We need this type of program at this time.

  34. O

    Olive8Ball

    lucas got his new role before macgyver's cancellation. so, yeah, it's not a long shot. check your facts

  35. G

    GoldCorn

    Save Manifest!

  36. G

    GoldFlame

    I think they need to air new series for more than one season before they get axed. For example:Rebel. There are several others as well. Like call your mother!

  37. G

    GreenHat

    Just found Manifest on Netflix a few days ago. It's great. Never knew it existed on NBC. Bingeing it now. #manifest

  38. G

    GreenBone

    I give up. The awesome shows like Prodigal Son and Manifest that I get so excited about and can’t wait until next episode or season- they get axed?! So disappointing. Makes me wonder why I watch in the first place if storylines aren’t given a chance to finish playing out.

  39. R

    It seems whenever I really like shows, they get canceled.

    RedSeahorse

    Please can you check your facts before releasing articles! How on earth can MacGyver be considered a long shot based on Lucas's new role when he got it before the cancellation? He was always going to do it, just like he has filmed other projects in between seasons before. We will never let go and we're not giving up on trying to save our show! #SaveMacGyver

  42. G

    GreenCloud

    Rebel is a great show, why is it being canceled? Give it a chance!!

  43. O

    OrangeMagnet

    Rebel and all rise and manifest should get a second chance it’s bad enough that all the networks has pulled all the black shows off all the channels

  44. C

    CyanBike

    I am totally pissed that Manifest is cancelled. What is wrong with these networks? They complain about viewership but even when something gets a fairly high rating, they dump it. It's probably too expensive. The Voices, American Idols, the idiotic bachelor and bachelorettes, DWTS, and those things are all cheap to put on and honestly, I don't get the appeal.

    A show like Manifest, or something interesting and fun, like Rebel, are just too expensive for them.

  45. P

    PurpleDucky

    I love Prodigal Son!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    It is one of the greatest shows ever created and deserves many more seasons. The writing is great, the casting is perfect, and all the cast are so talented and amazing. Every episode will leave you on the edge of your seat and when the episode ends you will be speechless and can't wait for more. The storylines are amazing, original, always exciting, and just so awesome. There are still so many stories left to tell and so many questions that still need answers. We need more seasons of Prodigal Son.

  46. C

    CyanWeights

    So disappointed with the endings of Prodigal Son & Manifest. They deserve more time, hopefully they will find a new home. I miss Macgiver & Rebel too 😐

  47. P

    PurpleChilli

    Save Rebel that is a great show. Was really into it with a great cast as well.

  48. R

    RedCarrot

    Maybe NBC should have put Manifest back to Monday nights before completely canceling the show many of us are so invested in... Loved All Rise however I figured it would be cancelled because of the storyline.. I hope these shows find a new home.. I need closure 🤷🏽‍♀️

  49. B

    BlueProcessor

    Manifest and Prodigal Son deserve to saved. The others, not so much.

  50. C

    Nbc has a habit of killing good shows

  51. O

    OrangeMagnet

    I'm over NBC and promise never to get involved in another one of their shows! They're just way too quick to pull the plug on anything these days it's been going on for years and I'm just fed up.

  52. P

    PurpleBattery

    I don't like Netflix anymore..most of the shows I get into watching get canceled..I have to check out if there is an ending beforbi start watching anything

  53. R

    RedApple

    now if they could just do away with the crapfest called TWD/FTWD, maybe there would be more time/ money for good shows like Rebel & Manifest

  54. B

    BlueLocomotive

    #savemanifest. We just watched 2 seasons and can't wait to see more.

  55. O

    OliveDice

    Manifest and Prodigal Son and Rebel should be saved. Each has a distinctive storyline that was entertaining and worth saving! Come on Netflix!!!

  56. B

    BlueRadio

    Rebel was a Great Show!!! How about you put in on in the Fall.

  57. B

    BlueTooth

    Get rid of the game shows and reality shows. SAVE REBEL!!!!!!

  58. C

    CyanBasketball

    I will miss Rebel, NCIS New Orleans and Manifest!!!

  59. K

    Kate Sullivan

    My money is on Manifest getting the new life, just because there is a niche there on Netflix and I think they might be tempted to recover from all their weird decisions in the last year about things they cancelled and, probably more weirdly, things they renewed. If their numbers stay up for another week, and I don't know of a big thing on Netflix that might interrupt it for a week or two, I could see them taking their month of watching and then decide.

    I guess my hope was with Zoey's almost more than Prodigal Son, which I could see finding a home on FX if they are, in fact, not a Fox network, but I cannot really see where Zoey's has a home, unless like Prime wants to balance out some of its originals since Fleabag is over and I'm not sure Maisel can sustain the balance of their darker bent of shows.

  60. O

    Olive8Ball

    oh and cbs only owns 50% of macgyver. the other half belongs to lee, who has been very supportive with the campaign

  61. R

    RedPretzel

    *And* Monica + the writers + the actors all support us as well, so don't try to put this on them. Just admit your biases. Because we aren't going anywhere. Oh and maybe end your poll in that other article sometime this year?

  62. B

    BlueCactus

    I can't believe it, just when I look forward to a show, it gets cancelled. This time, 3 shows I programmed to record ,last year there were 3 also. I'm a senior, stayed at home for a year. I needed those shows, kept me entertained, especially Tom Payne, Jesus from TWD. Debris was really good, I thought, and Mainfest, I couldn't guess what was going to be next.

    When the exec's learn to move these shows for a month to good time slots for people to see them they will realize that they are a hit for their viewers.

    I got hooked on Prodigal Son with the story lines and good acting. Execs the daddy might get you. Remember family is everything. 🥂

    REBEL is definitely one of the best shows on t.v. I can't believe they are canceling it. They didn't give it a chance. I hope they reconsider.

  72. O

    OrangeTree

    I think the problem is that these shows have been on mainstream not cable or pay-per-view and not all of us have the money to go to these other sources that are being talked about I'm on a fixed income I can't afford to be paying $5 or $10 there whatever it might cost to watch the shows that I've enjoyed

  73. O

    Olive8Ball

    did you know that monica macer supports #SaveMacGyver campaign? as well as lee david zlotoff, the creator of macgyver. so, your reasons are not good enough

  74. O

    OlivePaw

    Manifest should definitely be saved. It's a great story line and my husband and I were now at the Edge of our seats with the outcome. If I could petition or protest or anything for this show I would. Love the cast especially Jared.

    I love Rebel too!!! I don’t understand. Give it some time for the fan base to grow.

    I loved Rebel. I hope it comes back. The first few episodes where slow. The last 4 where great

  77. B

    BlueUmbrella

    So far 90% of my favorite shows have been cancelled by the big networks! I am so close to just watching Prime and AMC plus and getting rid of my cable. Rebel is a fun show with all the mixed relationships and craziness going on, and Katy Sagal is an amazing actress along with the whole variety of other actors! Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is a fun escape from reality which we can really use now, along with Manifest and Debris. The networks should let the watchers vote before cancelling anything!

  78. B

    BlueBullhorn

    Keep Rebel! It’s refreshing to see someone actually fighting for a good cause instead of all the “waste of time” shows on now.

  79. B

    BlueCactus

    I agree Rebel is a great show Katy Sagel is terrific I really hope another

    Net work picks it up, it has it all makes

    You laugh and cry completely hooked

  80. B

    BlueRadio

    Ridiculous!! Shows should end with a resolution of conflict not a creation of one, as they do in the season finales. Isn't there enough stress in the world without leaving our TV heroes hanging . If you're cancelling a show, give it a final season where you write in an ending. Manifest has kept me on the edge of my seat season after season. Frankly, I think it's time for an ending and explanation, but give us a season where you do that.

  81. P

    PurpleTeepee

    Prodigal son is a great show with depth. You don’t have to check your brain at the door. Not like the the 100s of mind numbing shows out there.

  82. G

    GreenQuill

    I am still very upset that Rebel was cancelled, it's such a great show.

    The cast is too notch, story thrilling and possibilities unending.

    Give them a better shot!

    Please

    ALL Rise, For Life and MacGuyver should be saved

  84. G

    GreenBone

    I love all the shows but Zoey, I don't watch that one. It really gets to me how you watch these shows, like these characters, get hooked on the show and then they jerk them out from under you. Its just wrong, not to mention how many people they put out of work, it's just wrong

  85. G

    GreenSeahorse

    Save Rebel, it is a great show and the cast is fantastic. It hasn’t really been given a chance.

  86. G

    GreenHat

    Not Manifest! Not Rebel! I still miss Trauma, Fringe (NBC). Deputy. Last Man Standing (Fox). Seems like we get some great shows and they only last a season or maybe two. PLLLEEAASE don't take my chicago favorites, Blacklist nor the 911 series on Fox. Anyone besides me still miss 24?

  87. G

    GreenSushi

    We need to save Rebel. It was awesome and something different. Didn't even get a chance to really to become great.

  88. P

    PurpleBug

    I am actually afraid to enjoy any dramas on tv, like Prodigal Son. No sooner you really get into them some idiots decide to cancel it. If I see one more game show or stupid reality show I will scream!!

  89. G

    GoldBottleOpener

    Manifest was left on a HUGE cliff hanger! How can it be cancelled!!!! 5 of my fav shows were cancelled this spring. For Life, Rebel, NCIS New Orleans, All Rise. What the heck is going on in tv lately??????

  90. B

    BlueBandAid

    Save the shows nothing was fair in 2020. People were sick and dieing.

    Shows need to have a chance to make it when thing are up and running.

    Prodigal Son is one

    Manifest

    For Life

    And others

  91. P

    Really LOVED #Prodigalson and #Clarice .. please KEEP LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME!!

    Don’t cancel Manifest.

  93. G

    GreenLobster

    The sudden end to Prodigal Son shocked me, as I'm sure it did everyone. Not a great idea, as the show has developed a decent following. I didn’t even know about Rebel's cancelation! Sacrificing these interesting plot-driven programs, in favor of inane, boring, useless, 'reality TV' aimed at the snack-eating lowest-common-denominator demographic is a waste! It seems like all the networks are scrimping for $dollars, at the cost of interesting quality programming.

    Heads-up ABC, NBC, CBS! Keep it up and viewers will opt for online networks like Prime, Netflix, Britbox, Discovery etc. permanently! Your bilge is full & your ship is slowly sinking!

    I think Rebel, Debris and Manifest should be renewed. Debris was a very

    good sci-fi show. The story was extremely provocative, while Manifest started off silly, but started to get good this season. It ended with a cliff-hanger, which the fans need closure.

    Rebel just has a very good cast, I enjoyed watching the professionals at work.

    Please keep these shows on the air.

    RedQuill

    The best show on air was and still is, is All Rise,

    Of course Rebel should be renewed great Stars great show of course prodigal son needs to go on at least two more seasons we need to find out what is going on and if he is still alive another great show yeah and manifest has a story to tell and it needs to finish selling it it is a six-year show why would you cancel that everybody watches that and yes we all want to know who's Zoe's True Heart Belongs to great people in that show it needs more time I am sick of shows being cancelled in their first year did you know that the show Cheers was canceled in its first year but they had to keep going because I didn't have a replacement now tell me somebody who didn't like cheers

    Hollywood execs are foolish! 

    In the first place, new shows shouldn't have been aired during the Pandemic. Alternatively, shows that did air during the Pandemic should NOT BE CANCELLED! 

    . WHY? Because no one has really, REALLY had a chance to sit back, relax and simply watch! 

    . WHY? Because the ENTIRE WORLD has been on Lock Down with no end in sight, for over a YEAR!

    Contrary to popular "Hollywood" belief, when something of such magnitude occurs, people don't think about Hollywood, t.v., or celebrities; they become dazed and confused!

    When people become dazed and confused, they become depressed and despondent; once they are depressed and despondent, they don't DO anything! If a t.v. was even on it was likely for background noise alone. THINK!

    But Hollywood execs fixate on keeping things fresh and new, or fixing what ain't broke but in the end, they often cause irreparable damage to which the show never recovers. 

    Case in point, DWTS, the Tom Bergeron/Erin Andrews DISASTER. One of the single, dumbest moves in t.v. history!

    I think that I will miss my shows if they come back on Netflix! Why can't these shows approach Appletv, Peacock or Hulu? Streaming I actually have??? I pay $198 for Directv AND 6 streaming services NOT including Discovery+. I watched Lucifer until it went to Netflix and have missed those seasons since. I am tired of Netflix getting all of my shows! And no, I am NOT adding another $5 or $10 to watch tv!

    If you look at all the tv shows coming out, almost every single one of them are violence based. Pathetic. Hollywood can deny it all they want, they're a huge part of our problems today. People's minds are being filled with this garbage, that violence is the way so solve your problems.

      I didn't even watch this one, but only five episodes? C'mon, you have to give a show a chance and judging by the comments, it seems like a lot of people really liked Rebel.

  121. P

    PurpleCar

    Some of these shows should go to streaming. You have more choices and a variety of programs with Amazon Prime, Netflix, HBO max, etc...

    The shows that seem to remain on regular television all deal with the law in some sense, nothing original nothing different.

    There are too many CSI's, Law And Order's, NCIS's, Chicago's***, FBI's, Bachelor's***, game shows and other dreadful reality shows.

    I have seen the new schedule, and there is not a tv series I am enthusiastic about, old or new.

    Regular tv is really starting to suck! Thank goodness for streaming!

    Rebel is a great show! Katie Segal is great. Love watching her in action. She’s got cohonas and is not afraid to use them! Lol! There are a great slew of people on this show. Rebel must stay!

    OrangeController

    I loved Rebel as do my friends. It was an excellent show.

  124. B

    BlueBoomerang

    It's a damn shame about Rebel. First, Katy is amazing! Second - due to the drama we're used to seeing? Really?? We've come to a point in society where it's only entertaining if someone is violently killed, it's total fantasy, or everyone's sleeping with their best friend's husband??? That, in and of itself, states why we NEED a show like Rebel. Loosely based on the real life super hero, this is a feel good, fight for what's RIGHT show people NEED to see. We become a more positive people when subjected to more positivity. So sad only the negative, knife-in-the-back, laser-eyed, time traveling, cheater shows get to stay.

Please dear God this needs to come back. I literally cried for ten minutes when I saw it was over cause of how it ended

    It’s like spitting in the wind. Money is the factor. There are more mindless persons who watch those god-awful shows, 

    (NBC, ABC and CBS cancel good shows and keep adding awful reality & game shows like Love Island, Big brother, Bachelorette, Celebrity dating game..etc.), than those of us who have half a mind and a bit of intelligence to become interested in good dramas and light-hearted dramas that have compelling storylines, characters, and actors.

    These are not brainless CEOs who are obligated to cater to that segment where the money is.

    The only thing that will keep these good shows alive are subscription services that we would have to pay for if we want that kind of content.

  153. R

    RedSushi

    Network TV needs to bring back Prodigal Son and All Rise. They are both excellent shows that do not think their audiences are idiots like so many shows that are currently on now. Why are so many of the really good programs moved to streaming services?

  154. B

    BlueHelmet

    Prodigal Son, & All Rise are Great shows. & Mom was just getting better!!! What is even worse is the stupid crap that ya'll replace all the really great shows with. 😒 Ya'll take off every sensible show with good plots & Great actors & put on stupid cartoons or marvel shows. Or what's worse is you keep playing reruns of the show that you've canceled. Just keep the good stuff. Ya'll are the idiot's

    Prodigal Son lost many of its viewers when the 1st episode went "woke" instead of being ENTERTAINMENT. The production was so poorly done and unnecessary that MANY of us quit watching. People want entertainment not propaganda.

    Get back in your lane or continue to lose viewers.

    1. G

      I'm curious as to when you think Prodigal Son went "woke"? I will NOT support a "woke" show, which is why I quit watching All Rise.

  165. O

    OliveBandAid

    You might noticed that a large number of shows getting cancelled have women lead characters. While it is good to see women cast in meatier roles, what gets served up are mediocre actresses who cannot win the audience. The Debris lead characters, both the man and women are terrible actors. There is no chemistry between them. Michaela of Manifest has a horrible resting frown face. Boone of Blacklist is a mediocre talent, marginally likeable. If you are going to take the risk of having a show carried by a women, you really need to get a great talent with tons of charisma, or pair her with a male lead who has both -- like Blacklist. Political correctness is not enough to sell soap.

  166. B

    BlueBoomerang

    It doesn’t matter how much you love a show, or how great you think it is. It’s all about the ratings. Low ratings bring cancellation because advertisers are not willing to stick with a show that is not being watched by enough people. Period. Why should Hulu, Netflix, etc., even bother with shows that can’t even get enough watchers for free.

    1. C

      CyanFries

      I'm glad Netflix "bothered" with Lucifer

  167. B

    BlueBoomerang

    Before you get too attached to a show, you should always follow the weekly ratings. Zoey was always near the bottom. Its first season ratings were abysmal, they gave it another shot, but rather than improving for the second season, they were worse.

  168. G

    GreenQuill

    I think NBC cancelled the show because it was including religion which Hollywood is against. Hollywood feels being religious equates to being Conservative and Hollywood hates Conservatives. NBC is discriminating but I am hoping Neflix or Hulu/Disney Plus won't be so prejudiced!

    Manifest didn't answer any open questions in a 3rd season that they were unlikely to get in the first place. They don't deserve a 4th season.
