Fox promoted it a lot.

People need to blame other people for not watching legally. Where were all these people who are tweeting now when the show needed support?

 

[TheVileOne]

where the ratings so bad or why is the show cancelled i just saw the first 3 seasons and its one of my favorite shows ?

A Petition is also Already Started
https://www.change.org/p/fox-broadc...hare_initial&utm_term=psf_combo_share_initial

A pointless petition that's not going to change anything. Even a petition of 250,000 signatures isn't going to make any network bat an eye.

 

[Inhuman117]

Hulu will maybe pick this up and @TheVileOne yeah sure everything is pointless if you dont try to change something

 

[Man in the Suit]

Hulu passes. Netflix and TBS options appear to be unlikely.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah because I doubt the people complaining will actually sign up for HULU to watch the show

 

[Sawyer]

At this point, there's nothing I look forward to more than FOX's comedy line-up completely crashing and burning this fall.

 

[MadVillainy]

I mean honestly has a show hopping channels so quickly every been very successful. I'm not trying to argue I'm generally curious. I know "revivals" have been successful but has a show that has been cancelled, then immediately picked up by another channel been successful?

Why?

This wasn't really their fault. This isn't like ABC/Happy Endings with all the scheduling changes, under promotion, etc.

Nine-Nine was well promoted, didn't have huge scheduling issues...people for whatever reason didn't buy into it.

And again, they got 5 seasons, 100+ episodes. As sad as it is, that's a good run nowadays

Except they did move it, and how exactly was it "well promoted"?

And please stop with the, "it was a good run" crap. A show dying when it is fantastic, is a show dying when its fantastic. Especially considering what this show is willing to tackle compared to other shows. But hey, time for more Tim Allen being not so lowkey sexist and racist. That should be fun.

 

[terry78]

TBS I'm shocked doesn't want it. Air that **** right after American Dad.

They moved it once. Again compared to something like Happy Endings, Arrested Development, Chuck, Hannibal all of which either had episodes airing early in other countries, had episodes air out of order, switched nights with little to no notice, moved to death slots, or even more. At least the B99 switch was advertised, again, from what Ive seen
There were billboards, bus ads, etc all over the cities I've been in within the last year including NYC, Baltimore, and DC. I saw commercials for it on TV. It got the post Superbowl spot. It seemed well promoted from all I've seen.
They also made sure it got "front page" advertising on the Hulu app.

And nah I wont stop with the "it was a good run crap" It's not FOX's fault that people didn't watch. Fox gave the show 5 seasons when the ratings were mediocre or in the toilet for 2-3 seasons. We've all seen shows getting screwed over by FOX or another network. I don't see any evidence of that with Nine-Nine. In fact FOX has been one of the better networks with that recently.
There are dope shows that don't even get anything past a 10 ep 1st season. And I get wanting more episodes but I think people are directing their anger and whining at the wrong place.

EDIT: I see they moved nights twice or 3 times from Tues, Sun, back to Tues

I think one of the points I'm trying to make is: Raise hell about shows when they're on air. Not just when they're in trouble. I never heard people talk about Nine-Nine as much as they are now. I never knew it had this many fans. Promote what you like when it's popping not just when it's failing. Watch them legally, tweet about them, tell your friends. If more people did that it would help at least a little

 

[MadVillainy]

TBS I'm shocked doesn't want it. Air that **** right after American Dad.

Would've fit right in at TBS and it's not like TBS has a bunch of hits on it's roster. It would've been a good get

HULU too. Hulu really doesn't have many hits other than Handmaiden's Tale. But I hear its really expensive to pick up a show rather than creating a new one. I feel like I even heard that Netflix isn't going to do that anymore because of that. But I could be wrong

 

[NotNickFury]

Telling you, on TBS, it would work well it if aired after Angie Tribeca since that already got renewed for its fourth season, has an audience, and aside from the fact that Angie Tribeca is a satire, the shows are very similar in that they're police procedural comedies.

But alas.

 

[MadVillainy]

Agaiin I think it's the price to acquire shows which prevents channel hopping not as common.

I'm still confused how Happy Endings never got picked up. Speaking of which yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of Happy Endings being cancelled. I would bump the thread, but I hate when people do that with no mention of a revival. So...RIP

What happened to that reviving shows on Kickstarter trend? I'd throw down $15 for a B99 (Happy Endings, Hannibal, and Terriers as well).

EDIT: I wish YouTube/YouTube Red threw their hat into the ring for bringing back shows too

Do not have the budget OR don't provide enough to begin with to make that possible.

 

[MadVillainy]

They don't provide enough. They have the budget. Which is why I wish they'd throw their hat into the ring since they're trying to get into the market

Maybe they don't two comedy cop shows as they have Angie Tribeca. Who knows?

Fox Cancellations Explained: Why So Many Shows Got the Ax

So, what's behind the bloodshed? To put it simply: The network's deal with the NFL for Thursday Night Football, which will take over more than 30 hours of space on Fox's already truncated schedule as the network, unlike ABC, NBC and CBS, does not program the 10 p.m. hour. (What's more, Fox also has rights to Major League Baseball postseason games, including the World Series.)

Returning for the 2018-19 season are animated series The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers and Family Guy (with the latter two already in production despite a lack of a formal pickup); Lee Daniels dramas Empire and Star; and second-year dramas 911, The Gifted, The Orville and The Resident. Those join five new series: genre drama The Passage, legal procedural Proven Innocent, multicamera comedies Rel, The Cool Kids and the revived Last Man Standing, starring Tim Allen. That's almost half of the network's total scripted roster heading into the 2017-18 season (21 last season vs. 12 so far this year).

So, take your complaints to the NFL thread

 

[terry78]

Yeah, football and baseball can really **** up scripted show slots.
