NBC is taking it, now

[(Anonymous)]

That said, why should Supernatural and TBBT get 10+ seasons ffs.

There's such a thing as wearing out your welcome, and those shows have long since done it.

[(Anonymous)]

They're still making money

Shit, just look at the Simpsons - you could arguably say that the Simpsons has been bad for longer than BBT or Supernatural have been on the air

This anon gets it. Some people want to create a quality product. Others want to make as much money as possible, which is not a bad thing. Also shows like TBBT and Supernatural create hundreds of jobs.

The power of Michael Schur compels you!

Popular speculation is that NBC decided to give B99 its final season to keep their latest comedy golden goose happy. He co-created B99 (why it wound up on FOX to begin with, I just never could figure out).

He was part of bringing The Office (U.S.), Parks and Recreation, and The Good Place to NBC, and since Universal owns both NBC and B99, I guess it makes sense for it to move to NBC.

Plus, Schur is part of the Saturday Night Live alumni network that's basically taking over NBC's comedy/late night division.

Frankly, I'm thrilled NBC gave it 13 more episodes, but the whole situation is flat-out weird. They basically cancelled it to make room to revive Last Man Standing, which seems like and even worse fit with FOX. I just don't see FOX's usual audience tuning in for it.

I mean, I get it. FOX wants to get its hands on the next "Roseanne." Except there's two problems:

1) Roseanne may be batshit insane, but she was also once a fucking talented comedian and she's currently surrounded by a lot of actors who've earned a ton of public good will in the time since the original run of her show ended. Tim Allen never had the talent Roseanne had at her height, was never all that likeable, and is not surrounded by people with a ton of public good will on this show.

2) Most people want to see a Home Improvement revival. THAT could be FOX's new "Roseanne." But no, they go for the vastly newer and inferior Last Man Standing for...reasons. A show that was middling when it was on ABC for six years, whose ratings were slowly sinking, and whose price tag was getting out of control because everyone was anticipating the big salary bump that a seventh season usually brings. About the only thing it has going for it is that its cancellation became some kind of weird conservative cause because Tim Allen took to Twitter and cried "prejudice" when ABC cancelled it.

Just a note for completeness, Mike Schur also had another project (Abby's) picked up by NBC for next season, so yeah, NBC is definitely in the Mike Schur business

I'm actually really excited for Abby's, it has Natalie Morales and Neil Flynn, that's a great fucking pair of actors

[silverr]

oh, Natalie from Middleman Morales?

[(Anonymous)]

The very same.

[silverr]

oooooo.

[liz_marcs]

Holy shit! That is a great fucking pair of actors. I'll be definitely tuning in to check it out.

Fox has a history of making stupid-assed decisions about TV shows with a popular niche fandom.

- Firefly
- Almost Human
- and now, B99.

[esteefee]

God, Almost Human still breaks my heart.

I assume that it's mostly because of the conservative flap. But there is also some weirdness between FOX and ABC due to American Idol (a lot of industry people expected FOX to only mothball American Idol for a couple of years and then revive it, but ABC snapped it up) and this might have something to do with it. Network competition can be very odd - especially since the network production companies also produce shows on other networks.
