In the time since my last update, Elsbeth, Fire Country, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, Matlock, and Tracker have been renewed before May (-500 each). ABC also announced RJ Decker, but I'm afraid it was announced too late to be included on anyone's ballots. Memory of a Killer has a Metacritic score of 55 and Bad Medicine has a Metacritic score of 60 (+300 points each). Please let me know if I missed anything.

It turns out that I did originally plan the December update for next week, but I'm feeling stubborn and want to do it now.

Welcome, all, to this month's update!

I still need to make the spreadsheet, but here's where things stand after a month of the 2025-26 TV season. Right now, almost all we've got relates to the new series' Metacritic scores, plus David Del Rio being fired from Matlock and Mehcad Brooks' amicable departure from Law & Order, unless I've missed some news.

Last call to join this year's league. We're at 20 contestants so far. Please let me know if you have questions.

As of Sunday, Sept. 7, we're at 19 contestants. The deadline to become a contestant is next Sunday, Sept. 14, the day of the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. Also, I realized that I can't give demerits as planned for Shifting Gears having more episodes ordered by ABC. The show's only got an order for three more episodes, when my rule says it's got to be five to nine more episodes ordered. Next year, I'll change the rule, but until now, some players can celebrate slipping out of the hangman's noose.

Cancellation League Finale!

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).

I'm preparing for CL 2024-2025 to conclude next Sunday. We're just waiting on the fates of five shows: Doctor Odyssey (first season finale Thursday), Grosse Pointe Garden Society (first season finale Friday), Accused (concluded its second season in December), Brilliant Minds (concluded its first season in January), and The Hunting Party (concluded its first season last month). If Alert or The Cleaning Lady are cancelled, it's worth kitty points. I wouldn't hold my breath about word on Good Cop/Bad Cop, but I will give it 100 presumptive points if there's no word by Saturday.

We've got just one item this week: The Equalizer being cancelled after five seasons (+500), with one burnoff (+100), and extra chickenshit points for the news being dumped on a Friday night (+250).
