The struggling comedy will finish its run online.
October 15, 2019
It appears we have our first cancellation of the 2019-2020 season, as NBC is pulling Sunnyside from its schedule after this Thursday's episode. The move comes four weeks into the comedy's run.
Since its premiere on September 26, the half-hour series has struggled to find an audience on Thursday nights. Its ratings and overall viewership numbers are among the lowest of the freshman class, making it an easy target for the early ax.
In its place beginning October 24, NBC will air the final season of Will & Grace, which wasn't originally scheduled to premiere until early next year. As for the remaining seven episodes of Sunnyside, they will be released online weekly via the network's various platforms like NBC.com and the NBC app.
Sunnyside stars Kal Penn as New York City Councilman Garrett Modi, who ended up losing his way after getting caught up in the glamour and power associated with the position. But when he ended up in trouble for public intoxication, his career was over. When Garrett is hired by a diverse group of idealists who dream of becoming American citizens, it helps him find a new sense of purpose and a chance to redeem himself.

I wish they’d pull all these “comedy’s” and run some serious drama.

MoeB... just to be clear...I don't support this show in the least.I get the gay agenda is force on tv and schools and some kids politely say they didn't want to this certain lesson and was suspended.Regular non public figure LGBTQ people have to see how this is out of control.A lesbian had different opinion..group turned on her.Anyway I don't like the over the to pc stuff either ,but hate when people include race...LGBTQ group is smaller than the different non-white ethic groups so seeing often is just fact not darn political ( frustrated when we get attacked by white people online for something that's mostly done by people that are white/or...in the first place).Anytime a "poc" is in something even original content they get labelled PC not fair.Know I also DON'T support swapping characters'races unless in some instances like comic books' who's characters have change or passed on to different people.At first I like it years ago ONLY because I didn't see females specifically in fantasy action ect.Mostly small or typical roles,overcoming something dealing with race and I don't think I'm the only black female who got tired of that.Otherwise I find it now insulting to give out those roles and create or use the many characters that already exist .There's no reason for that especially comic .Build existing characters alongside the popular ones that get movies done repeatedly .One thing not to start anything but "minorities" watched tons of stuff "filled" with white people.Just saying though I don't want white people excluded ...I'm for fairness so replacing and excluding even though I'm angry how certain people females particularly are favored or have more leading parts, I stand including and incorporating characters in existing stories since the " entertainment idustry" refuses to use or make original content.They're busy with their propaganda.Long post..felt like getting that given that I don't talk about with others besides my brother who's tired of me repeating it and we have a few different feelings but still want variety and fairness .

Here's the thing. How did this even make it past a pilot in the first place? The idea alone should have stopped this from moving forward.I think we are really in an age of over-correctness. Every show now has to be filled with minorities or someone has to be gay. I'm not saying any type of people shouldn't be represented in media, but when you try to force it in and shove it down peoples throats it gets to be ridiculous. For example, now we have multiple shows where we have kids under 10 that are gay. WTF is going on? Why is any type of sexuality for anything younger than teens be represented in the media. It's getting out of control

Easy choice. The show was unwatchable.

I've not seen it but by reading the description up above, how on earth was it ever greenlit? To me sounds more drama then comedy.

I am not surprised. It got worse each episode and the plot was all over the place.
