- The sophomore slump that ended in tragedy: *The Irrational* starring Jesse L. Martin was canceled after two seasons, with insiders blaming a steep decline in live viewership and high production costs from location shoots.
- A beloved comedy that couldn’t get renewed: *Night Court* was officially canceled after its third season, despite a loyal fan base and nostalgia factor, as NBC pivots to younger-skewing reality competition shows.
