10 TV Shows Just Saved From Cancellation

10. Blindspot

Blindspot is a show that just keeps in surviving. The crime drama, which stars the MCU's Jaimie Alexander as a woman who is discovered naked in Times Square, with no memory, and a body covered in tattoos that are clues to solving crimes, has pretty much lived on the bubble for a couple of years now, but each time has found a way of squeaking a renewal despite its poor ratings.

Things looked particularly bad this year when NBC pulled the show from its schedule towards the end of its fourth season, and yet surprisingly they have decided to bring it back yet again. It's not a complete victory for the show, because the fifth season will indeed be its last, and consist of fewer episodes, but it means it gets to go out on its own terms. The Season 4 finale will reportedly include a twist that completely changes the show, so at least it's going to be able to build upon that next season.

Clearly NBC have something of a blindspot when it comes to this show.
