It's that time of year again—the time we say goodbye to shows that we thought would last forever and a day. Some of our favorites had a good long run such as “Bones,” “The Vampire Diaries” and “Bates Motel.” Shows such as “The Blacklist: Redemption” and “Emerald City,” which came out earlier this year and got the ax before they could get a good start. Per TV Series Finale, there are 96 shows being canceled or ending. The following are some of the cancellations of the 2016-2017 season. The lineup posted isn't everything, as some of the series have yet to make their announcements at the time this article was written.
“American Crime:” Canceled after three seasons.
“The Catch:” Canceled after two seasons.
“Conviction:” Canceled after one season.

“Doubt:” The show debuted in February 2017. It was canceled after two episodes.
“The Odd Couple:” There were only 13 episodes ordered by CBS. Per Deadline, CBS will not be ordering any more. Glenn Gellar, Entertainment President of CBS assured Deadline that it wouldn't be the last of "The Odd Couple." According to Nellie Andreeva, he said: "It can definitely come back for season 4."

“Making History:” Canceled after one season.
“Pitch:” Canceled after one season.
“Rosewood:” Canceled after two seasons.
“Sleepy Hollow:” After four seasons, we're saying goodbye to Ichabod Crane. The reason for the low ratings could be due to changes over the years in front and behind the camera. Ichabod Crane and Abbie Mills had great chemistry, but the show went downhill when Nicole Beharie left.
