USA has opted not to renew one of the best shows that TV has ever has seen for a second season and I think they made a huge mistake by not picking up Political Animals. While USA does some good programming, this was the best that they have ever offered. Personally I think they would’ve been better off cancelling Covert Affairs, Burn Notice or Suits instead of this show. This show could get them Emmy noms, what are those three doing for USA? Seriously I don’t know WTF they were thinking? They really f*cked up.
The show’s creator Greg Berlanti proved to be as classy as the show as he reacted to the news. He Tweeted, “Thanks everyone for the nice tweets regarding Political Animals. It remains one of the best and most rewarding experiences of my life… The cast, the crew, writers, studio and USA were all a dream to work with. We all got to make what we set out to. Couldn’t be more proud!” And thank you to everyone involved with Political Animals for reminding me that TV can still be excellent!
