Network Show Cancellations

Network Show Cancellations, The broadcast and cable networks on Friday cancelled 17 more shows after giving the ax to six the day before.

The cancellations came as the four broadcast networks prepared to unveil their final 2013 fall lineups. In addition to dropping the shows, the networks approved several pilots and renewed current programs.
