Series' cancellation

Towards the end of May is the time, when most series get the final verdict, either they are cancelled or renewed. I picked up a few new series to watch this year , so I was especially curious which ones I'll get to watch next season again. The result? Only The Game of Thrones.
Here are the ones that didn't make it:
  • No Ordinary Family: I actually gave up on this super-powered family after about 10 episodes myself, so no tears shed here.
  • Shit My Dad Says: A nice comedy about father-son relationships. It ended with a cliffhanger!
  • Better With You: Another comedy, this time about three couples (a mature couple, their two daughters and their boyfriends). Luckily this one had a nice finale that rounded up the story.
  • Off the Map: Grey's Anatomy in the jungle, what could be wrong about that? Apparently enough to get them cancelled with a cliffhanger.
  • The Event: Biggest disappointment. The show was getting better with each episode. One more episode next week. There's a bit of hope that the show may be picked up by some other network... fingers crossed.
  • Lie to Me: Not a new show, this one got cancelled after three seasons. It was a good show, with real science behind it, good actors and characters. Unfortunately it missed a central plot, a red line to connect the episodes.
  • (Smallville: Not cancelled, but finally reached its final season. It's finally over and I'm free from its spell. At least until the spin-offs come...)
