Canceled and Crying

112 Comments

[Blind Gossip] This actress’ TV series just got canceled!

She cried.

Given that projects come and go and she has been in the business for a long time, we were a little surprised to hear that.

Why did the end of this particular project elicit such a strong reaction?

Although she works constantly, she hasn’t had a hit in a few years. She is over 40 and she is taking it very personally that she was the star of the show but couldn’t draw an audience. She cried. It was a big blow to her ego.

Stop crying, Girl! You’re pretty and rich and talented and you have more work coming up! You’ll be fine!

  3. Busy Tonight- Busy Phillips

    I like her and wanted to like the show but I didn’t. Talk shows are a really tough sell. Especially when you’re headlining alone. She’s famous in the business with a lot of well connected A- list friends but having them all as guests wasn’t enough to keep a show. I feel bad for her it didn’t work out I am sure it’s disappointing.

    • I felt the same way, I love her on Instagram and on shows she has been on in the past, but it didn’t translate to her talk show. She’s great though, and she’ll land on her feet for sure.

  5. Either Minnie Driver or Mary McCormack

    Yes! My family loved The Kids Are Alright. They always cancel the good ones and keep mindless shows around.

    • I’m still bitter they cancelled Freaks & Geeks, but it’s a gem and didn’t wear out its welcome.

  9. Minnie Driver – Speechless ???

    If she was crying, I’d venture to say it had more to do with the fact it was a groundbreaking show than she’s concerned about cash.

  10. Busy Phillips

    I don’t blame her for being upset. She probably put a lot of work into her show and feels sad that audiences didn’t respond how she would have liked.

    I was really sad when Pushing Daisies got canceled. It was a great show that deserved more attention. It fell victim to the writer’s strike several years ago, if I recall.

    • Yeeeees! Loved Pushing Daisies! Check out Wonderfalls too if you haven’t seen it. Only one season but a really good one.

  13. I’m thinking Vicki Lawrence and Cool Kids. I actually enjoyed the show. It’d be great if it were picked up by one of the streaming services.

  15. ‘The Fix’ and Robin Tunney? My guess because it popped up today as being cancelled on my news feed. I was gonna guess Mary McCormack from ‘The Kids Are Alright’ but that’s an ensemble show.

    Optional: I remember being ticked off as a teenager when ‘Tru Calling’ was cancelled. I’ll admit I cried when ‘Supernatural’ announced it was ending. But that had to do with remembering watching it with a parent that is no longer around as opposed to the actual show. Memories…

    • The Fix is cancelled? Darn. It was the only new show I got into this season (even though the acting and scripts are horrendous!).

    • I agree with you on My So Called Life! I’m not sure if it would stand up, I haven’t watched it since it was originally on tv, but it sure was a great show at the time.

  23. Busy Phillips?
    Yeah, Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money — they never recovered from the writer’s strike and they were good shows. Didn’t cry though, obviously.

  26. Jenna Fischer.

    Splitting Up Together was cancelled today. Jenna’s very likable and I hope she gets a hit project soon.

    I was upset when the show Boomtown was cancelled.

  34. Busy Phillips.
    I would cry, too. She went from publicly shaming Jordan Woods on her show to being embarrassed about her eponymous talk show failure. That’s what you get for being a Seacrest/Mama Kris/E! puppet.

  42. Candace Bergen. Sheesh, maybe she should have re-thought making all those liberal political statements right out of the gate this time around on “Murphy Brown.”

    Not upset over this at all… Hollywood needs to learn we don’t watch for political views, but for entertainment. SUPER SAD to see Game of Thrones and Big Bang come to an end.

  44. Drew Barrymore (Santa Clarita Diet)?

    When I was a kid back in the 70s, I was saddened by a couple of my favorite Saturday morning shows being canceled. But that’s all … LOL

  45. This is Vicky Lawrence. I feel bad for her that The Cool Kids was canceled. The premise was great for the first few episodes, then the writing went downhill. She was actually too young for the role. 100% not her fault. I would like to see her in something more worthy of her talents though.

  46. Idk, but in answer to your optional…..no I have not ever gotten upset over a cancellation of a TV show, I tend to think that if a show gets cancelled, it probably deserves to, so why get upset over something like a TV show?

  49. Drew Barrymore, Santa Clarita Diet. She recently said that this was her favorite project, and that doing the show after her divorce helped her cope. Understandable that she’d be upset.
