2008 TV Cancellations - RIP October Road, Journeyman And Men In Trees (UPDATED!)

May is a tough month for TV. While spring marks the time of year when the TV networks make the decision to pick up and renew most of their series, it’s also the time of year when shows are cut. As this week is upfront week for the major networks, we can expect to hear plenty of big news (some good, some bad) for TV. Unfortunately, we have a whole list of bad news.

We already knew of a few of the cancellations but thanks to The LA Times, here’s the list of the shows that have been given the boot by their respective networks so far:

Of the cancelled shows listed above, so far ABC’s October Road and NBC’s Journeyman are the only ones I’m really going to miss. Journeyman had a lot of potential but unfortunately it also had a crappy timeslot. October Road started out rocky for me and I almost gave up on it entirely but then it hit its stride and since then, I’d really started to enjoy it. As for all of the other series, I can’t say I’m really all that disappointed that they’re gone. I'm somewhat disappointed and a little surprised that Miss Guided got cut (E!'s Kristin Dos Santos seemed pretty optimistic about that one so I figured we'd be seeing more of this show). How about you? Are you devastated over the loss of New Amsterdam, Men In Trees or any of the other shows listed above?
