Last week during the 2017 Upfront presentation, it was a bloodbath.
A primetime bloodbath.
Dozens and dozens of shows, old and new, were placed on the chopping block and unceremoniously butchered as networks attempted to make way for bigger and better shows, placing all their eggs in cooler baskets.
For the shows that didn’t make it, you will be remembered. Sometimes. If a weird pop culture reference is needed.
And for the shows that made it to next season…
welcome to the prime time, bitch.
