15 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled

6. The Last Man On Earth

Unlike a lot of shows on this list, The Last Man On Earth had consistently strong reviews, with the show - from creator, writer, and star Will Forte - consistently smart and funny.

Unfortunately for its fans that never translated to good ratings: Season 4 may have critical acclaim, but just under 2m viewers overall (and 0.79 in the 18-49 demo) have condemned it to a life in the apocalypse, with a cliffhanger ending that'll never be resolved and yet still somehow works as a fitting end point.
