It's not directly the fault of Galavant though. Just like it wouldn't be the fault of Agent Carter (which was a similar situation where I think it got picked up because it's a good hiatus show) or any other show that didn't do well in the ratings that got renewed.

Blame the network heads, not another show. People were literally bitching in a Galavant post and it was beyond obnoxious.

AYRT
Agent Carter was in a similar position (and several people had it predicted as likely to be canceled), but it also had being part of the MCU going for it. And honestly? It really wasn't in the same situation at all. Galavant got a .88 rating for one of its episodes. That is lower than at least a couple of shows on the CW, forget on a "real" network. Galavant had a 0% chance of being renewed by several sites, including TVBTN. It is really difficult to fathom why it was renewed; basically, it was a miracle for those handful of fans who watched it.

And that is wonderful for those fans. And I don't blame anyone for the cancellation of Forever (well, other than Nielsen families who didn't watch, but that often happens with shows I like). And I agree that it is obnoxious to go complain about it in a Galavant post. However, your view that they are unrelated is not the case. And that is all I wanted to point out, that there was a connection between the two.

I never said I wasn't surprised Galavant was renewed because I was, I actually really was because I pretty much assumed it was gone for good. That's why I really think it being a hiatus show DID help it, because in any other case it would have been gone.

I probably should have said "it's not as connected as Forever fans think" but I was mainly pissed off that there were a bunch of fans shitting all over Galavant because their show didn't get renewed. It just seemed silly to me because a. it's not like the Galavant production team were sitting there behind the scenes like, "Yeah, let's destroy Forever!" and b. even if there's a connection because only a number of shows get picked up, it still seems silly to blame shows that got picked up for getting picked up.

This secret just reminded me of the behavior of the Forever fans taking out their bitterness on another show, when they should just leave other shows out of it.
