CBS has cancelled cancelled Angel From Hell after just five episodes according to The Hollywood Reporter. Why did I say cancelled cancelled? Because this is only the second show this season to be pulled from the lineup before all of their filmed episodes aired. The other show was ABC’s Wicked City.
The show’s star Jane Lynch confirmed the news on Twitter with, “Oh my newly minted #anghellions. Thank you for supporting our show! It is so sad but what a joy was had. 😇💋”
Is the news a surprise? No, the sitcom was from Hell. It was truly awful and I like the cast. This was just a really bad unfunny show.
So what will be replacing it on Thursdays at 9:30p? A Big Bang Theory repeat this week and then 2 Broke Girls will air their remaining episodes for this season in that slot.
The Good Wife is not on tonight because the Super Bowl is on instead, so CBS thought this would be the perfect time to announce that the critically acclaimed drama is indeed ending this season on May 8th. The news is not a surprise because their have been hints about it. A few weeks ago at CBS’s TCA Winter Press Day, they announced that the show’s creators, Robert and Michelle King, are leaving and the show’s star, Julianna Margulies, recently joked at an event that she would be out of work in April.
Glenn Geller, President, CBS Entertainment and David Stapf, President, CBS Television Studios has this to say, “It’s never easy to say goodbye to one of the crown jewels of your network and studio, much less to a show that is among the best on television,” adding, “But it also feels very right to end with the seven-year story its creators envisioned, and to celebrate the show’s final run while at the top of its creative game.”
While The Kings promised, “We’re looking forward to using this seventh season to bring Alicia’s story to its natural conclusion.”
Are you sad the show is ending or do you think this feels like the right time to bow out?
Recently at the CBS TCA Winter Press Day the network announced that Robert and Michelle King, who created The Good Wife, are leaving the critically acclaimed drama at the end of the season. Many fans of the show wanted to know if it would go on without them.
Yesterday, when the couple was being honored at the Casting Society of America’s third annual Artios Awards, Julianna Margulies came to surprise them. According to Vulture, she told the audience packed with casting directors, “They (The Kings) didn’t know I was going to be here. They think I’m here for them, but I’m unemployed come April, and I think you haven’t seen me in a while, at least not in person, so I thought I should show up.”
Does that mean the show is over? We will either have to wait until CBS makes it official or until the season/series finale airs. Whichever one comes first and I think it might be the latter if it airs before the upfronts. Either way, we probably won’t have a verdict until May.
Are you objecting the news or do you think it is sustained?

First off, I really like Jane Lynch, but I really hate Angel From Hell. The CBS comedy that debuts at 9:30p lives up the last two words in its name.
Allison Fuller (Maggie Lawson) is an uptight Dermatologist, whose life is falling apart around her but she doesn’t see it. So her Guardian Angel, Amy (Jane Lynch), is going to make herself known to her and try to fix her life. Only thing is Amy is a wisecracking mess who seems like anything but an Angel. Thus the name. In fact, it seems like whenever Amy tries to help her, she makes things worse.
Lynch is fine in smaller increments, but as a lead on this show, it is too much. I liked Lawson on Psych, but she is not good fit for this show. Which leads to it seeming like there is no chemistry between to the leads, and that hampers it even more.
I wish I could say it gets better, but the second episode is just bad. So watch it if you want.

You would think that because CBS airs football on Thursday and Sunday nights that they would know something about their fans, and you would be completely wrong. First they announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is going to follow the Super Bowl, and they are so not the audience for that show. Then today they along with Pepsi announced that Coldplay is going to play the halftime show. Are they trying to put us to sleep?
Seriously, why are they trying to make Coldplay a thing? They were never a thing. Even at the height of their career, only a few people really thought wow, I love their music. They suck. They are boring. Football fans would rather watch the Puppy and Kitten Bowls over Coldplay. The only way men will care about Gwyneth Paltrow’s uncoupled man is if they have hot women dancing with them. Otherwise, expect people to ignore the lackluster performance.
Seriously, why hasn’t anyone asked Bon Jovi to do it? Now that is a band that could get the stadium rocking!
