Cancellation League Update!

Courtesy Amadeus3000

The absolute deadline for dropping, swapping and adding is 8 p.m. EST tonight. Horsey Mike, did you want to add anything?


I watched trailers for the midseason shows! I went with my usual sliding scale approach, but am considering doing something new for the 2023-2024 season, where they're all graded together, not with their network's other programs. Generally speaking, if a show did well at explaining its premise, it was worth less points; this almost always means that a reality show is worth less. Special attention was also paid to trailer length and overall quality of the content presented.

Points this week!
+70, Night Court, for losing a supporting actor (+50) and for its trailer (+20).
+40 each, trailers for Not Dead Yet and Animal Control. All I could find was a teaser.
+40, True Lies, for its trailer (+20), which made me miss the movie, and for losing a Thursday debut (+20).
+30 each, trailers for Will Trent and Alert, which just looked unintentionally hilarious.
+30, Found, which apparently does not yet have a trailer.
+20, trailer for The Company You Keep, which confidently presented its absurdity in that glossy ABC style.
+20, trailer for Accused, which established its premise well-enough.
+10 each, trailers for The Parent TestGotham Knights, Special Forces.
+10 each, kitty, for Lingo and America's Got Talent: All-Stars trailers.

Check your scores and please let me know what I missed.
