HellcatsEveryone loves to watch TV and has their favorite TV shows, like Vampire Diaries, Dancing with the Stars, or even America’s Funniest Home Videos. The only problem is, some people may like a show, but if the show isn’t liked enough it gets the boot.

Reasons for Cancelation

Ratings, it’s always about the ratings the show receives. If a show doesn’t get viewed that much odds are it won’t get renewed. Another thing that can be a problem for shows is the producers, if someone backs out, like what happened with ABC’s Legend of the Seeker, it will get cancelled.

Shows that have been cancelled recently

CW’s new teen drama, Hellcats was sadly given the boot after there weren’t enough views on it. Sadly, when CW figured out the show was getting canned, the season finale was already filmed and left the show ending in a cliffhanger.

ABC Family had a new teen paranormal drama out this summer called the Nine Lives of Chloe King, based on the book series by Liz Braswell. This cancellation didn’t come as much of a surprise as the ratings were low to begin with.

An Attempt to Save them

There are several ways to attempt to save a show; from creating Facebook pages to sending out petitions on the internet. One way is to advertise the show like crazy and have viewers watch it on Hulu.com or Netflix. Fans of Legend of the Seeker have even created their own fan-base called Save our Seeker. S.O.S fans have even done things like a Tweetathon to get people to know about their cause.

The one fear of every lover of TV shows share is the fear of a cancelled show. For a lot of fans, this fear has become a reality. If you like your show a lot, try liking it on Facebook or letting your friends know about it to help improve the ratings. Because once a show is cancelled, it is hard to start it back up again.
