TV Show Cancellation Thread (including ending ones)

ABC Cancels ‘Rolling Stone 50’ Three-Hour TV Special

ABC will no longer be broadcasting the planned special celebrating 50 years of Rolling Stone, a person with knowledge of the matter told TheWrap.

The three-hour “Rolling Stone 50” special was previously scheduled to air February 7. Announced during upfronts 2017, the show would have featured short films, live performances, and surprise musical pairings showcasing the magazine’s 50-year history.

The cancellation comes after two men accused Jann Wenner of sexual assault. Former Rolling Stone employee Jonathan Wells on Friday said Wenner invited him to his home in February 1983 for a night of partying where the two men drank and did cocaine, with Wenner “dangling the idea of a job” at Rolling Stone for Wells.

Not surprised by either the Rolling Stone special cancellation or the end of 'The Mayor'. The latter just had an odd premise and it was poorly executed.

Wenner's behavior may also torpedo his attempt to sell the magazine. Considering the muted impact the magazine now has, it seemed inappropriate to celebrate its 50th anniversary with a network special anyway.
 
I like "The Mayor" but I saw its ratings. He was going to face a recall election.

I'm amazed Kevin still gets to (probably) save the world because it's doing just as poorly.

Amazon has cancelled shows

Amazon continues to clean house. On the heels of last month’s surprising pilot purge, the streamer has axed three series: I Love Dick, One Mississippi and Jean-Claude Van Johnson.

As our sister outlet Variety notes, Amazon is shifting away from its initial niche programming strategy and toward bigger, broader series.

One Mississippi, co-created by and starring Tig Notaro, was cancelled after two seasons. Meanwhile, Jill Soloway’s I Love Dick starring Kevin Bacon and the Jean Claude Van Damme-fronted spoof Jean-Claude Van Johnson, were both whacked after just one season.
