12 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled

4. The Muppets

The Muppets Agent Carter Grinder Cancelled

For me, this is perhaps the most disappointing show on this list. Not that I'm sad to see it cancelled, but disappointed with how it turned out in the first place.

The idea of an Office-style sitcom featuring the Muppets sounded fantastic, because, well, just look at those two things. Unfortunately, the execution was lacking. It received complaints for its much darker, more adult-orientated slant, and despite a mid-season change of showrunner, it wasn't enough to drastically improve the show, or save it from cancellation.

Cut the music. Turn off the lights.
