There were a host of cancellations as new schedules are being put together. For me, a couple that weren’t already announced before the season were on my season pass. The 4400 was intriguing though not as engaging as the season wore on. Comedies B Positive, The United State of Al, Kenan, Mr. Mayor, and Pivoting all had potential but admittedly were maybe not rock solid. or ‘dramas’ I let go of the really fun The Big Leap (canceled a while, ago) and Queens (so I guess I’ll have to stick with the comedic version Girls5eva). Check out a full list to see what of yours is calling it.
I finished the fine Lincoln Lawyer. It’s no Bosch which I’ve been keeping up with and has the feel of the original Bosch, with mostly fewer characters (though fun to get the occasional guest appearance). I will look into the latest Stranger Things which usually has the feel of a cheesy ’80s summer matinee and The Boys who will continue to get into trouble.
