Slashing NBC's Fall Lineup: 5 Shows Cancelled for NBA Coverage
NBC Cancels Five Shows: Suits Los Angeles Among Them
In a ruthless move, NBC has decided to chop five series from its fall lineup, granting priority to a whopping 180 hours of NBA coverage instead. These cancellations came like a blizzard on a hot day, and the affected shows can't dodge the axe!
Here's the painful list of shows that have met their demise:
The Sad Saga of "Suits LA"
The spin-off of the popular "Suits" series got a red card after just one season. This bombshell isn't music to fans' ears and is undoubtedly the biggest disappointment this batch of cancellations. Although the pilot episode boasted impressive viewership, it dwindled rapidly in subsequent episodes.
The Final Bell for "Night Court"
After spinning its gavel for three seasons, "Night Court" got sentenced to the justice system's cold corridors. While specific reasons behind its cancellation aren't publicly disclosed, the general shift in network priorities hints at a mismatch with current broadcasting strategies.
RIP, "Lopez vs Lopez"
"Lopez vs. Lopez," the multi-camera comedy that ran for three seasons, became another victim of NBC's programming overhaul. The show, known for its candid portrayal of George Lopez's real-life family dynamics, was cancelled, leaving only "Happy's Place" among the surviving multi-cam comedies.
Lights Out for "The Irrational"
"The Irrational," a crime drama fronted by Jesse L. Martin as Alec Mercer, a behavioural science professor handling high-stakes cases, bit the dust after its second season. The show enjoyed solid ratings during its first season, but NBC reconsidered its future due to weakening viewership and tightening budgets.
The Twilight Zone for "Found"
"Found" shared the same fate as "The Irrational." It picked up viewership during the strike period but then tanked once the competition heated up. The show's cancellation reflects NBC's focus on established shows and their budgetary pressures due to broader investments.
