2010 to 2011 Television Cancellations
Some of these cancellations come as quite a surprise while others were expected. And a few of these canceled television shows haven't even completed a full season before heading to the chopping block. What is to blame for these television show cancellations? Is it simply poor ratings or are their other factors at play?

Some of there shows have been our favorites for nearly a decade and now they have been canceled by the networks. Others barely got a chance to prove themselves before being canceled. Perhaps there are other forces at work other than bad plots lines, scripts or acting abilities. Maybe live streaming off of the internet or other factors are at play.
