NBC Cancels 'The Michael J. Fox Show'

Great Scott! In a move that was admittedly obvious since the struggling sitcom drew its first 0.8, NBC has canceled 'The Michael J. Fox Show,' effective immediately.
Just over a week ago, the Peacock dropped the ax on 'MJF's lead-in 'Sean Saves the World,' which I covered here. At the time, I wondered just how soon 'The MJF Show' would itself meet the business end of the ax. It turns out that my prediction (that NBC would air all 22 episodes, then cancel the show) was way off, evidently because I misunderstood a certain facet of Fox's contract with NBC.
It was my understanding that NBC had made an upfront commitment to air a complete season of 22 episodes, but it now appears that NBC was only required to *produce* 22 episodes. What this means is that the three million or so people who watched 'MJF' on a regular basis may now never get to see the seven remaining already filmed episodes, one of which includes the hyped up guest appearance by Fox's 'Back to the Future' co-star Christopher Lloyd.
Following the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the 9-10 p.m. Thursdays slot will be occupied by all-new episodes of 'Hollywood Game Night.' This works out well for NBC, as 'HGN' would have had to vacate its current Monday home once 'The Voice' returned anyway.
If nothing else, I hope 'The Michael J. Fox Show's failure doesn't drive its star back into retirement. Despite the many problems that this particular show had, Fox's performance wasn't one of them.

NBC Cancels 'Sean Saves the World'

Ask not for whom the bell tolls Sean Hayes; it tolls for thee. Or at least for your sitcom.
After a half season's worth of ever dwindling ratings (the most recent episode drew a measly 0.7 demo and just over two and a half million viewers), NBC has opted to halt production on 'Sean Saves the World' and remove it from the network's Thursday schedule.
'Sean's initial order was for the standard 13 episodes, and the sitcom was granted five more installments back in November, bringing its first season order to 18 episodes. Well, technically 19, counting the original pilot episode. Thirteen of those 19 have aired so far, with two more completed episodes already in the can. NBC has indicated that they plan to burn those off sometime after the Sochi Winter Olympics wrap up. What day of the week they'll choose to do that on is anybody's guess.
The next logical question to ask here is where this leaves 'Sean's lead-out 'The Michael J. Fox Show.' Both shows were attempts by NBC to right their flagging Thursday night ship by airing comedies starring established sitcom stars, and both shows have done equally as bad in the ratings. I see no possible way that a show drawing 0.8s will get renewed, so my prediction is that NBC waits for 'MJF' to finish its 22 episode season, then drops the ax. Contractually, they can't remove it from the schedule, as Fox only agreed to come onboard if NBC committed to airing a full first season.
If nothing else, the epic failures of 'Sean' and 'Fox' should serve as beacons of hope for 'Community' fans. NBC won't cancel all of its comedies at once, and 'Community' at least draws 1.2s.

Merry Christmas!

Sincere and heartfelt wishes go out to all of you for a very happy holiday season. Thank you for being part of my internet family. Hope Santa comes sliding down your chimney tonight!

...Lest We forget

In remembrance of all who gave their lives to serve their countries. I'm not a big supporter of the war and I have trouble understanding why anyone would choose to go. But I thank those that do to protect our freedom. And I mourn with all those left behind.
