Consider the freshman comedy cancelled.
January 24, 2013
Fox has effectively cancelled new comedy Ben and Kate. The network has taken the series off its schedule effective immediately. 13 episodes have aired since the show premiered last September, but it is unclear when, or if, the remaining installments will air.
In the 8:00-9:00pm time slot starting this coming Tuesday, Fox will air back-to-back episodes of Raising Hope through February.

Alcatraz was as formulaic as formulas get... 5 minutes of lead in main story.... 30 minutes of a COMPLETELY unrelated story.... 5 minutes trail off of the main story.... 20 minutes of commercials to completely ruin any type of suspense.
It's the same forumla 90% of network dramas (especially cop dramas) follow. If you haven't caught on to that, go back and start watching episodes of Murder She Wrote or Matlock... same formula.. you'll love it.
... if that's your taste...... well.... you should probably like American Idol too. It's just as formulaic.

RE: Ben and Kate......
I liked Dakota Johnson. Would like to see more of her. Lucy Punch was great as well. The problem is the brother or "Ben". Whoever that actor is simply brings the show down and unfortunately as a lead character, episodes were focused too much on him.

They moved from just pulling it to finally giving it the axe today.

they are way too quick to pull shows. I don't even tune into shows anymore until the first season is almost over because I don't want to get invested into something thats going to get pulled as soon as it gets good

Too bad. I really like this show. I love the corkiness of Dakota and Nat. These are the feel good shows that get you through the week. The number of shows I DVR is shrinking as shows end or are cancelled. I HATE that networks pull the plug on shows before they have time to grow. Remember a little show called Seinfeld had terrible ratings it's first year. All wee get now is this scripted reality crap shoved down our throat. I can't watch any of it and that includes the way past their time singing shows that focus more on the judges that the singers. Stupid. I can't care less who judges the scts. "Reality TV" is a virus that will wipeout TV as we know it. It's like watching Jerry Springer all the time with the fake fighting and back stabing. They all need to on the air between 12-3 in the afternoon because all they are is soaps. Pretty much all the small cable networks live on "reaity" shows than real TV shows. They are creating Un-Celebraties that do/did absolutly nothing to earn that status. That's who were getting on DWTS now. Who wants to watch that? Now that JR is dead, I'm sure Dallas won't last too much longer either. Getting back to Ben & Kate, I think it is a smart comidy and they should bring it back as a filler with the remaining episodes and see how it does. I hate to see funny, feel good shows dissapear. My thoughts.

Certainly saw it coming. Had its funny moments, but not enough to keep it on. Oh well, guess I'll delete the episodes I need to catch up on.

Good job Fox, Take that GARBAGE off the air. Now if the other networks can just get rid of these horrible scripted "Reality" shows then thing would be looking up.
