Prepare your Kleenex. I'm sure some of these cancelled TV shows are some of your favorite TV shows to watch. Hard to believe they're cancelling some of these shows, specially GRIMM! That's utterly GRIM news, if you ask me. So without further ado, let me roll out the list (*sad music playing in the background*) :sad:

Canceled: "Limitless"

Date announced: May 18

CBS canceled drama "Limitless" after one season. The series premiered to strong Nielsen ratings, but its viewership declined over the course of the season. Executive producer Bradley Cooper, who starred in the movie that inspired the show, guest starred in multiple episodes, but his starpower did not improve its performance. "Limitless" is reportedly being shopped to other networks, so there is a chance that it will be resurrected.

Canceled: "House of Lies"

Date announced: May 17

Showtime announced that "House of Lies" will end after Season 5, which is currently airing. The series finale will air Sunday, June 12, and will be the first American scripted TV show to film in Cuba since the United States restored diplomatic relations with the country.

Canceled: "Rush Hour"

Date announced: May 16

CBS has canceled its action series "Rush Hour" after one season. The show was based on the popular movies. Unfortunately, the familiar title did not inspire large numbers of viewers to watch. The show launched in January to unimpressive ratings. The network has opted to end the show, though the remaining Season 1 episodes will air.

Canceled: "Game of Silence" and "Heartbeat"

Date announced: May 13

NBC canceled two freshmen dramas that premiered midseason. "Game of Silence" was an American adaptation of a Turkish drama about a group of friends who are bound together by a dark childhood secret. The network hoped it would appeal to fans of dark cable dramas. "Heartbeat" was a medical drama about a cardiac surgeon. Both shows fell victim to low Nielsen ratings.

Canceled: "Castle"

Date announced: May 12

ABC canceled the procedural after eight seasons. Several weeks earlier, news broke that its star, Stana Katic, would not be back if the show returned for Season 9. Given that the show was centered around the relationship between Katic's character, Beckett, and Castle (Nathan Fillion), it was difficult to imagine how the show could continue.

Canceled: "The Grinder," "Grandfathered," and "Bordertown"

Date announced: May 12

FOX canceled three freshman comedies. "The Grinder" was one of the best-reviewed comedies on broadcast television and starred A-lister Rob Lowe, but it never built a large audience, averaging a 1.1 Nielsen Live +7 day rating among adults 18-49. "Grandfathered," starring John Stamos fared better, averaging a 1.4 Nielsen Live +7 day adults 18-49 rating, but still did not make the cut for a Season 2 pick-up. "Bordertown," an animated series created by [link=]Seth McFarlane[link], best known for "Family Guy", averaged a 0.9 Nielsen Live +7 day adults 18-49 rating.

Canceled: "Agent Carter"

Date announced: May 12

ABC officially canceled "Agent Carter" after two seasons. The series, based on a Marvel property, struggled in the Nielsen ratings from its launch but was given a second season to prove itself, in part due to the fact that both Marvel and ABC are owned by Disney. The show's star, Hayley Atwell, landed the lead role in the upcoming ABC series "Conviction," making it impossible for the show to continue.

Canceled: "Containment"

Date announced: May 12

The CW canceled the drama about a deadly epidemic after a single season.

Canceled "CSI: Cyber"

Date announced: May 12

CBS has canceled "CSI: Cyber" after two seasons. The show ranked as the network's lowest-rated drama this season. This marks the end of a game-changing franchise for the network. The original "CSI" launched on Friday nights with little fanfare in October 2000. CBS believed that the show's lead-in, "The Fugitive" would be a hit. Instead, viewers gravitated toward the forensic science-based procedural. The show was so popular that it spawned spin-offs "CSI: Miami", "CSI: NY," and finally "CSI: Cyber."

Canceled: "Billy & Billie"

Date announced: March 26

DirectTV's Audience network canceled the romantic comedy about two step-siblings who fall in love after a single season. According to series creator Neil LaBute, the series will end due to scheduling issues.

Canceled: "Person of Interest"

Date announced: March 16

CBS announced that the upcoming fifth season of its drama "Person of Interest" will be its last. The procedural/sci-fi hybrid began its life as a strong performer, but Nielsen ratings for Season 4 declined significantly. The network left it off both its fall 2015 and midseason 2016 schedules, which is usually a bad sign. The final season will debut May 23.

Canceled: "Switched at Birth"

Date announced: March 11

It's tough to keep a teen drama going once the characters graduate from high school. "Switched at Birth" is the latest show to fall victim to the college curse. Freeform has decided that the show will end after its current, fifth season.

Renewed and Canceled: "Royal Pains"

Date announced: March 10

"Royal Pains" was the last of USA's "blue-sky" lineup of upbeat dramas set in glamorous locales. The network picked it up for an eighth and final season. The final season will have 8 episodes.

Canceled: "Kevin From Work"

Date announced: March 4

The low-profile workplace comedy failed to build an audience during Season 1. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Freeform attempted to make a deal with Netflix to stream the show in the hope of increasing its exposure. When the two companies failed to come to terms, Freeform opted to cancel the series.

Canceled: "Satisfaction"

Date announced: Feb. 26

USA's drama about a suburban couple with a scandalous sex life never garnered a large audience. The network, determined to transition to darker, edgier programming, renewed it for a second season. Its ratings were even lower, averaging a 0.2 among adults 18 to 49. USA, realizing its viewers preferred the urban hackers of Mr. Robot to suburban adulterers, canceled "Satisifaction."

Renewed and Canceled: "Bones"

Date announced: Feb. 25

FOX has renewed its long-running procedural for a 12th and final season. Season 12 will fittingly have 12 episodes. The show was a below-the-radar hit, performing well in several different time periods over the course of its run. The show has run out of ratings gas, however, with Season 11 averaging a 1.1 rating among adults 18 to 49. The show's producers promise that the final season will give Bones and Booth a satisfying send-off.

Canceled: "Angel From Hell"

Date announced: Feb. 8

CBS comedy "Angel From Hell," about a woman who is saddled with an abrasive guardian angel, seemed doomed from the start. It was originally slated to premiere in November, but the network moved its premiere to January. Its Nielsen ratings were lower than CBS' other Thursday night comedies, averaging a 1.4 among adults 18 to 49. After just 5 episodes aired, the network yanked "Angel From Hell" off its schedule and sent it to TV heaven.

Canceled: "The Good Wife"

Date announced: Feb. 7

"The Good Wife" is CBS' prestige drama. It is one of the dwindling number of broadcast series that gets nominated for Emmys. After seven seasons, multiple cast changes, and rumors of behind-the-scenes tension, the network decided that the show had run its course. Its Nielsen ratings were never high by broadcast standards. Season 7 has declined significantly from earlier seasons, averaging a 1.1 rating among adults 18 to 49 and 8.2 million viewers. The network announced that the show will end this spring. The advance notice will hopefully give the writers enough time to craft a satisfying finale.

Canceled: "Manhattan"

Date announced: Feb. 3

WGN's period drama "Manhattan," about the real-life Manhattan Project that led to the creation of nuclear weapons, was critically acclaimed but never attracted a large audience. The network opted to cancel the show after two seasons.

Canceled: "Finding Carter"

Date announced: Jan. 29

MTV's drama about a teenage girl who learns that she was kidnapped as a baby and must adjust to living with her adopted family, had an enthusiastic fan base. However, its ratings declined from a 0.5 rating among adults 18 to 48 and 1.1 million total viewers in Season 1 to a 0.3 rating and half a million total viewers in Season 2. As a result of this decreased viewership, MTV opted to cancel the show.

Canceled: "Heroes Reborn"

Date announced: Jan. 13

NBC decided to end "Heroes Reborn," its revival of its 2005-superhero drama "Heroes," after one season. Though it was billed as a limited series, it was widely believed that, if the show garnered high Nielsen ratings, it would have continued. Unfortunately, despite the current popularity of genre shows, the series failed to capture a large audience, averaging a 1.3 rating among adults 18 to 49, a mediocre number for a big-budget broadcast show. Worse, the ratings declined throughout the show's run. The premiere garnered a strong 2.1 rating among adults 18 to 49. The final 3 episodes each earned a 1.0 rating.

Canceled: "Rectify"

Date announced: Jan. 8

"Rectify," SundanceTV's first original scripted drama, will end after its upcoming fourth season. The critically acclaimed show about a man who is freed from death row after his conviction is overturned, had a small but passionate fan base. In a press statement, series creator Ray McKinnon "I have always felt that Rectify could end at any time or just as easily continue ... And the timing of this 'non-end' end feels exactly right."

Canceled: "Rizzoli & Isles"

Date announced: Jan. 7

TNT's hit drama "Rizzoli & Isles" will end after Season 7. The network's chief creative officer Kevin Reilly explained his decision by stating, "It felt like it was time." The series is one of the network's strongest performers. The current sixth season is averaging a 0.6 rating among adults 18 to 49 and 3.9 million viewers. The final season will premiere in summer 2016.

Neither will be back for a second season.

Canceled: "Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris"

Date announced: Dec. 15

The show garnered mediocre Nielsen ratings over the course of its initial 8-episode run, premiering to a 1.9 rating among adults 18 to 49 and garnering a 1.4 for its fall finale.

Canceled: "The Bastard Executioner"

Date announced: Nov. 18

Showrunner Kurt Sutter followed up his hit "Sons of Anarchy" with a gory series set in the 14th century. The ambitious, expensive show failed to attract a large audience.

Canceled: "The Soup"

Date announced: Nov. 18

After 11 seasons of snark, E! is ending "The Soup." The weekly series mocked pop culture, with an emphasis on reality shows. Host Joel McHale stayed with the low-budget show after he became the star of "Community" and landed a major role in the 2015 "The X Files" miniseries. The final episode of "The Soup" will air Dec. 18.

Canceled: "Wicked City"

Date announced: Nov. 13

ABC's drama about a serial killer in Hollywood during the 1980s earned the dubious distinction of being the first canceled broadcast series this season. The network pulled it from its schedule after just three episodes. The last episode that aired garnered a 0.4 rating among adults 18 to 49, the lowest rating for an original episode of a big-four broadcast series this season. The show was originally supposed to launch in the winter but was moved to the fall when ABC decided to retool its upcoming drama "Of Kings and Prophets."

Canceled: "The Whispers"

Date announced: Oct. 22

ABC's summer drama about an unseen alien force that manipulates children failed to find an audience. The season finale garnered a low 0.7 among adults age 18 to 49. The network, not surprisingly, opted not to pick up a Season 2. Unfortunately, the finale ended with a cliffhanger that will never be resolved.

Canceled: "Defiance"

Date announced: Oct. 16

"Defiance," was Syfy's take on the Western, with a sheriff struggling to maintain order in a town nearly destroyed after an alien invasion. Like Syfy's other recently canceled series "Dominion," it ratings dropped over 40 percent in Season 2. Three days after the network killed "Dominion," it pulled the plug on "Defiance."

Canceled:"America's Next Top Model"

Date announced: Oct. 14

"America's Next Top Model" premiered way back in 2003 on the now-defunct UPN network, which merged with The WB to become CW. Season 22 of the reality competition is currently airing.

Once one of the network's strongest series, its ratings have followed the downward trajectory of most long-running reality shows. As the CW's brand morphed from female-centered, relationship-based dramas to genre series, "America's Next Top Model" became a poor fit for the network's line-up. The CW decided that the current season would be the show's final strut down the catwalk.

Canceled: "Beauty and the Beast"

Date announced: Oct. 13

The CW announced that the upcoming fourth season of the low-rated fantasy drama will be its last. Season 3 aired last summer, averaging an extremely low 0.2 rating among adults 18 to 49.

The network has yet to schedule a premiere date for Season 4.

Canceled: "Dominion"

Date announced: Oct. 13

Syfy's drama "Dominion," about arch-angels battling humanity, was one of the network's most ambitious series. It had a strong first season, but declined 47 percent to a 0.3 rating among adults age 18 to 49 during Season 2.

Syfy chose to end the series after the second season concluded its run.

Episode Order Cut: "Minority Report"

Date announced: Oct. 9

"Minority Report" has turned out to be a expensive flop for FOX, which charged advertisers more money to run ads on the show than any other new series. Perhaps the network needs to hire a pre-cog. "Minority Report" turned out to be the network's lowest-rated freshman series, with the most recent episode delivering a low 0.7 rating among adults age 18 to 49.

In an attempt to mitigate the damage, FOX cut "Minority Report's" episode order from 13 to 10. The series has not been officially canceled yet, but it won't be back next season.

Canceled: "Extant"

Date announced: Oct. 9

CBS had high hopes for its summer sci-fi drama starring Halle Berry, but the tale of an astronaut impregnated under mysterious circumstances while in outer space never attracted a large audience. Nonetheless, the network ordered a second season, hoping that casting and storyline changes would make it more appealing. Instead, the ratings dropped even further, falling to a 0.7 rating among adults age 18 to 49, lower than many of the CBS' summer reruns.

Everyone knew it wasn't coming back, but the network has finally officially canceled "Extant."

Banshee wasn't cancelled. They decided to end it. Tears in my eyes really. I love this action TV series. Watch this too if you have the chance. It is not for kids, OK? The violence in this show is pretty intense. AND...there are lots of sex scenes.
My MIND is in the GUTTER but my BALLZ never are.
