January 2018: TV Renewals and Cancellations

Welcome to the new year! It's 2018, baby. Lots of new television shows are being released this year, but there's also a lot of old shows that will most likely end this year. Let's hope this is a good year for TV. I have a hypothesis that a lot of shows will be cancelled this year and next year will be the year of mostly new television shows. Let's see what was renewed and cancelled in January.


 Renewals

  • She's Gotta Have It (Netflix) - Season 2
  • The Circus (Showtime) - Season 3
  • The Gifted (FOX) - Season 2
  • Young Sheldon (CBS) - Season 2
  • The Gong Show (ABC) - Season 2
  • Floribama Shore (MTV) - Season 2
  • Future Man (Hulu) - Season 2
  • Marvel's Runaways (Hulu) - Season 2
  • Ellen's Game of Games (NBC) - Season 2
  • Full Frontal With Samantha Bee (TBS) - Seasons 3 and 4
  • American Dad (TBS) - Season 15 and 16
  • Stan Against Evil (IFC) - Season 3
  • The Walking Dead (AMC) - Season 9
  • 9-1-1 (FOX) - Season 2
  • The Tick (Amazon) - Season 2
  • Grown-ish (Freeform) - Season 2
  • Fuller House (Netflix) - Season 4
  • The Chi (Showtime) - Season 2
  • Suits (USA) - Season 8


 Cancellations

  • The Fosters (Freeform)
  • The Mayor (ABC)
  • Chance (Hulu)
  • Lady Dynamite (Netflix)
  • The Shannara Chronicles (Spike)
  • I Love Dick (Amazon)
  • Jean-Claude Van Johnson (Amazon)
  • One Mississippi (Amazon)
  • Damnation (USA)
  • Dice (Showtime)
  • Shut Eye (Hulu)

I'm sad that The Fosters was cancelled because I absolutely love that show and all of the topics that they have discussed over the last five years. I'm glad they are at least doing a spin-off, though spin-offs never seem to be as good as the original. The Mayor was really good and I'm sad that was cancelled. It didn't have a hard-hitting storyline, but it was light-hearted and I liked watching it. It seems most of the shows that were cancelled this month were from streaming sites like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. 

This is probably the first time I'm actually not okay with some renewals. I don't know why they renewed Suits again, considering two of their main characters are leaving. The show probably won't last much more than season 8. I tried watching The Gifted and couldn't make it past episode 4. It was boring. I tried really hard to love it, but I just couldn't. Super excited about American Dad, but I wish they would add seasons 10-14 onto a streaming site. I have missed out on those episodes and I do not approve. Happy about Fuller House. It's cheesy and they ride heavily on the original series, but I like watching it with my mom.

What shows are you sad/happy about?

May 2018 Television Cancellations and Renewals

So I decided to take a break from blogging about cancellations and renewals, especially since the summer doesn't have a lot of those. So I'm lumping together May, June, and July into one blog post. As far as Summer television, the only thing I've really been watching that's "new" is The Proposal and Cloak & Dagger. Both are okay. I'm not obsessed with them. Anyways, I'm dying for the Fall premieres to happen. I miss my stories. Renewals Tangled: The Series (Disney) - Season 3 The Rain (Netflix) - Season 2 The Expanse (Previously Syfy, now Amazon) - Season 4 Baskets (FX) - Season 4 The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon) - Season 3 Empire (Fox) - Season 5 The Good Fight (CBS) - Season 3 The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu) - Season 3 Westworld (HBO) - Season 3 Siren (Freeform) - Season 2 Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (ABC) - Season 6 Lost in Space (Netflix) - Season 2 Gotham (FOX) - Season 5* Lethal Weapon (FOX) - Season 3 The Blacklist

2018

I stopped blogging. I stopped blogging.  I stopped blogging.  I wanted to. I just couldn’t bring myself to. I couldn’t find the words to say. I couldn’t find the time. That killed me inside. I love writing. I love expressing myself in this way. Even the television shows I used to love and blog about weren’t what I wanted to express.  I was busy in the last half of 2018. I had to find myself again. I took the longest break from blogging that I have probably ever done. But that’s okay. It’s okay to focus on yourself. To stop doing things that require time and energy to be the person you want to be.  2018 brought a lot of new and ended a lot of old. When I started the year 2018, I was a different person. I was depressed. I was sick. I was in a marriage where we both were not happy. I was spending my time between WVSU, doctor’s offices, and home. It was a constant struggle. I was losing weight. I wanted to die. I didn’t want to go on and live through the rest of the year. I felt

Ugly Sweater Secret Santa Christmas Party 2017

Image
I want to take a moment to really appreciate the humans in this photograph. Oh, and Bandit, who is like a human but is clearly a dog.  On December 9th, I threw a Christmas party! I was really excited about it. Obviously because I love party planning and human contact (sometimes). I really like holidays, even though the days surrounding them seem to be questionable. Regardless, I figured a party would cheer me (and everyone else!) up. I invited a butt ton of people, but only these (+ my mom) came. And that was okay with me! I made some new friends and it was rad!  The Ugly Sweaters were bomb. I was actually incredibly impressed by the variety of ugly sweaterness that entered my home. A few were really really ugly (Looking at you, Syd & Brandon). Asia won the Ugly Sweater contest though! I wish I would have gotten a picture of it because she definitely deserved to win.  We did Secret Santa as well. It was hard because most people didn't know each other or only kn
