Cancellation League Update

I'm going to wait until next week to post the roster. In the meantime, new or possible contestants can review the rules and see what everyone else has picked so far here.

Let's talk about possible points:
I see that CBS' fall preview special is at 9 p.m. EST Thursday. I'll definitely be watching that, checking for the strengths and weaknesses of trailers (which I'll do for all the networks), excessive promos, etc. ABC's fall preview show is apparently airing on at least one station at 12 p.m. EST Saturday. There was a time when these things mattered. They were always filler, but they mattered! (Teri Hatcher at 3:00.)

Speaking of excessive promos, I didn't watch much TV this summer. I did catch the NBA Finals and as a result, saw a lot of promos for The Wonder Years. I feel like it deserves the 50 points. Share your thoughts about other worthy recipients.

I see that under the rules, I forgot to include:

+200, bad publicity (stars fighting, etc.)

+50, development of a new show interrupted due to COVID-19

+50, production interruptions due to COVID-19

Here's what we have so far:

+30, The Good Doctor, for gaining three new cast members

+20, 4400 not airing in Canada

+290, The Big Leap, losing two presumably lead cast members (+100 each, happened in 2020), getting pushed due to COVID-19, halting production due to COVID-19 (+50, same) and airing in Canada (-10)

+90, Ordinary Joe, getting pushed due to COVID-19, halting production due to COVID-19 and airing in Canada

-10, Queens airing in Canada

+40, Our Kind of People getting pushed due to COVID-19 and airing in Canada

-10, La Brea airing in Canada

+40, The Wonder Years being excessively promoted and airing in Canada

-10, Alter Ego airing in Canada

-10, Ghosts airing in Canada

+30, B Positive gaining three new cast members

+50, The Blacklist losing its creator

+20, Home Sweet Home not airing in Canada

As always, let me know what I missed.
