Timeless had such a cult following, like William Shatner and Leslie Jones, that 3 days after NBC cancelled it, they changed their minds and picked it up for 10 more episodes.
Executive Producers Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan broke the happy news on Twitter and said that they will be back in 2018. I will take it when I can get it. I just hope they don’t pull a Jericho. As in, the fans save the show and then they completely f*ck it up. Man that was such a let down, but I doubt Timeless will let us down. If not, we will invent a time machine and get our revenge on them. Oh wait, we can’t because we can’t go back in our lifetime. Therefore, we will have a kid and tell them in 20 years they need to go back in time to 2017 and get our revenge. I think I need to stop watching shows and movies about time travel.
While Timeless got good news, 2 Broke Girls got bad news. It was cancelled after 6 seasons. Also cancelled yesterday was NBC’s The Blacklist Redemption.
It wasn’t all bad news, ABC picked up Speechless and Fresh of the Boat, Fox renewed Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Exorcist (weirdest decision of them all) and NBC sticks with Law & Order: SVU. Bringing the latter’s run into season 19, which is one hell of a run. Especially since Mariska Hargitay never ages.
UPDATE: CBS cancelled The Great Indoors, but they are not done with the outdoor. They renewed Amazing Race. They also renewed the low rated Elementary. This is a season where ratings don’t mean that much.
UPDATE 2: On Sunday Fox picked up New Girl for a shortened final season. Meanwhile over at CBS, they renewed Code Black and cancelled Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.
