New Fall Shows That Will Likely be Canceled

Don't expect to see any of these return for a second season come Fall 2016

New Fall Shows That Will Likely be Canceled

It is only the middle of October but we can already predict which new shows probably won't see a second season next fall. Some of them might not even score a full season this year. Let's take a look at the freshman shows on broadcast TV that are likely to be cancelled before the end of this television season.

Blood and Oil (ABC)

"Blood and Oil" premiered this Fall taking "Revenge's" (2011-2015) Sunday 9 p.m. slot on ABC. The show premiered to 6.3 million viewers and earned a 1.4 rating in the all important 18-49 demographic. That time slot has been problematic for ABC for some time now and "Blood and Oil" has not done well enough to fill that gap as the ratings has plummeted since the premiere. Now with the return of "The Walking Dead" on AMCm, which is also in the Sunday 9 p.m. time slot, it is almost impossible for "Blood and Oil" to gain more viewers and increase its rating. Its most previous episode had 3.5 million viewers and a 0.9 rating. For a rookie show, that's a sure cancellation.

Code Black (CBS)

Code Black premiered to 8.5 million viewers and a 1.6 rating at the tail end of September. Seems like decent ratings, no? As expected the ratings have fallen since the premiere, and its most previous episode scored a little under 6.9 million viewers and a 1.2 rating. The thing is, when compared to other shows on CBS, Code Black is way below the network's average and that is what counts when networks are making renewal and cancellation decisions. With Code Black being close to the bottom of the pile of CBS shows ratings-wise, don't expect to see it make a return next fall.

The Grinder (Fox)

This legal comedy starring Rob Lowe has quite a bit of work to do ratings-wise if it intends to see a second season. The show premiered to 4.9 million viewers and a 1.5 demo which already was a mediocre premiere (even by Fox's standards). The most previous episode scored a 0.9 demo and 2.53 million viewers. It currently stands as the second lowest rated new show on Fox this season. It, however, has a greater chance to survive cancellation than Fox's worst rated new show.

Minority Report (Fox)

Another year, another failed Meagan Good drama. Mirroring NBC's "Deception" (2013) which ended after 11 episodes and starred Megan Good, "Minority Report" is Fox's lowest rated overall show this season. The show premiered to 3.9 million viewers and a 1.1 rating last September and has since continued on a steep downward trajectory. Its last episode scored a 0.7 rating with only 2 million viewers. Fox has since cut its episode order from 13 to 10, effectively ensuring that it won't see a full 22 episode run. This means that "Minority Report" is a dead show walking, it will certainly not be renewed.

Truth Be Told (NBC)

Zack Morris is back to his first home, and he might be on his way out sooner than later. "Saved by the Bell" alum Mark-Paul Gosselaar returned to NBC last week in a disappointing way. Gosselaar's new Friday night comedy premiered to a 0.7 rating and 2.5 million viewers. That ties with "Enlisted" (2014) and "The Assets" (2014) as the worst rated series premieres since 18-49 measurements started in the 1980s. This show will probably never see a full season much less a second.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
