Cancellation League Finale!

 

Courtesy Amadeus3000.

We say farewell to the 2024-25 season. I mentioned before that I'm fed up with network TV and strongly considering my options. They include any aspect or combination of the following: outright concluding CL, continuing it for 2025-26 with restrictions (for example, only scripted programming), handing it over to someone who wants it, or -- the one thing I've always resisted -- carrying over contestants' points into the new year. If CL does remain under my watch, the 2025-26 season would start Sunday, Aug. 24. Please share your thoughts (and, as always, check your scores).

This week, based on the reveals of the 2025 fall schedules:
+950, Doctor Odyssey dead after one season, with one burnoff and One and Done points.
+1,000, Grosse Pointe Garden Society dead for good.
+200, Accused dead after two seasons.

+100, Good Cop/Bad Cop presumed dead.

+320, kitty points, Alert dead after three seasons with two burnoffs.

+450, kitty points, The Cleaning Lady dead after four seasons with five burnoffs.
