   I'm going to sound like Your Name, in objecting to this stupid list. It   
   conflates miniseries that wrap up after completing the adaptation of   
   their source novel, multi-season shows in which production wraps up as a   
   choice about ending the series, and actual cancellations of shows that   
   didn't find an audience or because the studio licensing fee had gotten   
   absurdly higher than what the programmer could justify paying.   
      
   >    ABC   
   >     - Doctor Odyssey canceled after Season 1   
      
   Gee. Something that legitimately belongs on the list.   
      
   >    Apple TV   
   >     - The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin canceled after Season   
   1   
   >     - Mythic Quest canceled after Season 4   
      
   Never watched but I assume this wrapped. Anyone?   
      
   >    Fox   
   >     - 9-1-1 Lone Star canceled after Season 5   
   >     - The Conners canceled after Season 7   
      
   Oh for fuck's sake. They exploited material from decades past foe a hell   
   of a long run, then ended it.   
      
   >     - Rescue HI-Surf canceled after Season 1   
      
   >    CBS   
   >     - The Late Show with Stephen Colbert   
      
   Sucking up to Trump after his flunkies threatened federal licenses of   
   local affiliates and because the owner of one station group wanted   
   another round of corporate mergers.   
      
   >     - The Summit canceled after Season 1   
   >     - The Equalizer canceled after Season 5   
      
   It lasted longer than the original! What is there to bitch about?   
      
   >     - S.W.A.T. canceled after Season 8   
      
   Racism!   
      
   >     - FBI: International canceled after Season 4   
   >     - FBI: Most Wanted canceled after Season 6   
   >     - The Neighborhood canceled after Season 8   
      
   They never gave this show a chance.   
      
   >     - After Midnight canceled after Season 2   
   >     - Poppa's House canceled after Season 1   
      
   I couldn't make it through the first episode, produced by people who   
   forgot all they knew about comedy.   
      
   >    HBO   
   >     - The Franchise canceled after Season 1   
   >     - The Righteous Gemstones canceled after Season 4   
      
   I assume this just wrapped.   
      
   >    FX   
   >     - The Old Man canceled after Season 2   
      
   Waste of an excellent cast, betrayed by plotting that was massively   
   stupid, and of course pandemic production shut down and the near death   
   of The Dude. But even without those setbacks, those scripts were horrid.   
      
   >     - English Teacher canceled after Season 2   
      
   >    Paramount   
   >     - Dexter: Original Sin canceled after Season 1   
      
   This is really too bad. The show lost its champion in the corporate   
   merger. Truly impressive work by an unknown cast saddled with recreating   
   performances of the original cast, and wow, were they ever able to pull   
   it off. I didn't like numerous retcons and character changes to Dexter,   
   Deb, and their father, but the performances were outstanding.   
      
   >    Paramount+   
   >     - Happy Face canceled after Season 1   
      
   They wrapped up the source material story and set a hook for another   
   season that maybe would have been worth watching. I was impressed with   
   Dennis Quaid playing against type.   
      
   >     - Frasier canceled after Season 2   
      
   >    The CW   
   >     - Children Ruin Everything canceled after Season 4   
      
   Idiots, this is foreign programming and The C-Wub, which is still dead,   
   wasn't even the first American distributor. They haven't ordered a   
   comedy or drama tv series in, what, five years?

   Thanks for the troll bait, Your Name.
