TV Show Cancellation Thread (including ending ones)

About time. Went down the tubes after the death of George Segal and the exit of Jeff Garlin.
 

New Girl Moves from Netflix to Peacock and Hulu.

Disney has been more open lately to non-exclusive rights and selling to third parties as the company is shifting focus to profitability. While other factors played a role in Abbott Elementary’s streaming deal, Hulu also currently shares previous seasons of that ABC hit comedy, this time with HBO Max.

New Girl, which originally aired on Fox for seven seasons, followed Zooey Deschanel as Jess Day, a 30-something woman who moves into a loft with three single men following a bad breakup. There’s Nick (Jake Johnson), law school dropout turned bartender is the most grounded … and the most jaded; Schmidt (Max Greenfield) is a hustling young professional who’s pretty proud of his own abs; and Winston (Lamorne Morris) is an intensely competitive former athlete who doesn’t know what to do next. Rounding out the group is Jess’ childhood best friend, Cece (Hannah Simone), a model with a killer deadpan.

The fivesome realize they need each other more than they thought they would and end up forming a charmingly dysfunctional – or strangely functional – family.

Although they can have any event from the 80s occur at any time during the 80s.

But the kids keep getting older so that won't work.

That’s exactly what they’ve done. References and timelines are not strictly in chronological order, and the show has made sly references to this multiple times in season finales. The narration has referred to getting times and details a little jumbled in the closing moments of several of those episodes.

Adult Adam also says no matter what is going on or what the weather is like, it is the date the episode aired, sometime in the 80s.

Patton Oswalt was on "Jeopardy" at night and said he can do that from home.
 
Yes, that’s the narration, but also never the year. That’s part of the show’s construct. They never played it in chronological order of the 80s and didn’t need to.

And yet once Pops dies, he's gone. Same for Murray. Adam F. has graduated high school. Barry is in medical school. Erica had a baby. It has to be in chronological order for the events related just to the family.

That's been the construct since day one (for major plot points at least). It simply doesn't matter which part of the 80s they wrap around the story. Never did.
