They're on the same network but they're produced by different studios. And networks are always going to give preference to shows made by their own studios, because the company gets the syndication money if the shows last that long. If Forever had been produced by ABC, it might have had a better chance of surviving, but it was produced by WB, which gave ABC less incentive to renew it.

That said, I don't know anyone who wasn't still shocked by the Galavant renewal. It seemed like most sites predicted both to be cancelled.

AYRT

Oh, I'm not saying I was surprised that Forever was canceled. Based on the numbers, I absolutely expected it to be canceled. Even if it had been produced by ABC studios (which I agree makes a difference with borderline/bubble shows). I was just saying that the Galavant renewal with those ratings was shocking (I mean, does anyone expect it will make it to the 88 episodes required to see money back from syndication?), and that it was connected to Forever's status in that I can easily see why people would be bitter about the situation.

Yeah, I get that. American Crime's renewal was also a huge shock to me, maybe more than the Galavant renewal. So...yeah. :(

Emmy. Bait.

You are correct. Sort of. I worked for both ABC and Disney and I can remember a LOT of shows produced by Disney's child production companies (Spyglass, for instance) that got shit on pretty hard by ABC. It's all what the the execs want, is what it boils down to. Naturally, Disney produced shows get preference, but back in the day, what Lloyd and Michael wanted, they got, and fuck everything and everyone else. If they don't think it's worth it, it's gone. Pack up and go home. So many great shows got pre-empted every week until they were cancelled for lack of ratings. Because they never aired.

A lot changed when Lost came around, though.

I'm so glad Galavant got renewed, though. Believe it or not, that show is so close to backstage Disney you don't even know. Someone on that show has firsthand knowledge of what goes on back there because I started in theme parks before I moved up and all the drunks, sarcastic princesses, out of breath singers, and poor serfs really capture what cast members do when they are not on stage in a subtle but hilarious (to people in the know) way.
