But it\u2019s still fairly rare. Adding to the confusions \u2014 with quite a bit of rage, as you\u2019ll see \u2014 are the recent announcements that several shows that began on broadcast TV, and previously on cable (like <em>Younger<\/em>) are moving to streaming, with more likely to come. So here are some of the more recent questions dealing with these issues.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Son_Rise_Son_Set\"><\/span><strong><em>Son<\/em><\/strong><strong> Rise, <em>Son<\/em> Set<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>Once again Fox has canceled another great show, <em>Prodigal Son<\/em>. I can\u2019t tell you how much I have enjoyed this one. I read that maybe HBO Max would save this gem. So what do you think the chances of that happening are? \u2014 <em>Justin<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> Apparently nil, given recent reports that HBO Max has already passed on it. (This would have made sense for purposes of corporate synergy, as the show is produced by Warner Bros. and HBO Max, which streams the first season, is WarnerMedia\u2019s in-house streamer.) Hulu, which currently streams the just-concluded second season, may be another option. But we\u2019ll have to wait and see if a deal can be made. I\u2019m hoping for the best.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Lateral_Move_by_ABC\"><\/span><strong>A Lateral Move by ABC?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>I was disappointed to learn two of my favorite ABC shows were canceled: <em>mixed-ish<\/em> and <em>Rebel<\/em>. Is there any chance ABC could give them a second chance by sending them to Hulu or Disney+, since those services are owned by ABC\u2019s parent company? \u2014 <em>David K<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> And don\u2019t forget that Freeform is in the ABC-Disney tent, which would be the more likely move for <em>mixed-ish <\/em>\u2014 if it weren\u2019t for the fact that a <em>black-ish <\/em>spinoff already resides there (<em>grown-ish<\/em>). Seems to me that given the short runs of both series, especially <em>Rebel<\/em>, which barely got a chance to make an impression before it was canceled \u2014 a shock given that it comes from <em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>\u2019s prominent show-runner, Krista Vernoff \u2014 I\u2019d be surprised if either found a new home.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Courtroom_Is_Now_Closed\"><\/span><strong>The Courtroom Is Now Closed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Comment: <\/strong>I wish ABC would have given <em>For Life<\/em> another season. Intelligent courtroom dramas are rare! \u2014 <em>Alan S<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> Not to give you false hope, but reports following the cancellation suggest the studio is shopping this to other networks and platforms. It\u2019s certainly a timely series, so maybe a forward-thinking outlet will bite.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>Is there any chance that the recently canceled <em>All Rise<\/em> could be picked up by another network or subscription service? It\u2019s a shame to see it go. \u2014 <em>Cathy<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> This seems an even longer shot. Behind-the-scenes turmoil may have doomed this one, even if it had been a stronger performer for CBS.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lamenting_That_Mythical_Unicorn\"><\/span><strong>Lamenting That Mythical <em>Unicorn<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>I am really disappointed by the cancellation of <em>The Unicorn<\/em>. I liked the characters and thought it was well-written, unlike any of the new shows that have premiered in the last few years including its replacement, <em>United States of Al<\/em>. CBS gave little chance to build an audience in its sophomore year, because for several weeks it had rerun lead-ins, whereas the Chuck Lorre comedy <em>United States of Al<\/em> had a better shot at building an audience with <em>Young Sheldon<\/em> as its lead-in for most of its run. Do you think CBS set up <em>The Unicorn<\/em> to fail because it was looking to replace it with the Chuck Lorre comedy? Is there a chance that a streaming service might pick it up? Also, does it look like <em>Young Sheldon<\/em> repeats are not faring as well on networks like Nick since originally they were airing in prime time and now they have been shifted to early morning? \u2014 <em>Terry<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> This kind of broke my heart as well. While it may be true that CBS didn\u2019t protect <em>The Unicorn<\/em> as well as it could have, schedules throughout this season of the pandemic were so erratic that I\u2019ll stop short of accusing the network of setting it up to fail, which is a ridiculous charge. It may be closer to the truth to suggest that the network saw only limited potential for growth, given the comedy\u2019s warm and poignant tone on a network known for bigger, broader laughs. You\u2019d also have to be blind not to see that the network is going out of its way to prop up the various new (and quite uneven) comedies coming from the prolific Chuck Lorre. I wish I thought a streamer could come to the rescue, but it\u2019s just too quiet and modest a show, despite that remarkable cast. And I don\u2019t pay enough attention to cable syndication to have an opinion on <em>Young Sheldon<\/em>\u2019s off-network fortunes, though Nick at Nite\u2019s current <em>Friends<\/em> frenzy may have something to do with it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Evil_Switcheroo\"><\/span><strong>An <em>Evil<\/em> Switcheroo<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>I was really looking forward to Season 2 of <em>Evil<\/em> on CBS. It looked like it was going to start this summer, but now it\u2019s moving to Paramount+. So why should I ever watch another new show on CBS with the prospect that it will move to the streaming service once I start enjoying it? \u2014 <em>M Wood<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> You probably won\u2019t have to worry about that with most CBS shows, especially the traditional procedurals that dominate CBS\u2019s lineup. <em>Evil <\/em>was always something of an outlier, way weirder and darker than anything else CBS airs. (<em>Clarice<\/em>, the moody spinoff of <em>The Silence of the Lambs<\/em>, may also be heading that way.) After this long wait, when many expected CBS to air <em>Evil<\/em>\u2019s second season during the lower-profile summer months, this move was disappointing to many, but if it came down to keeping the show going on streaming or pulling the plug forever, I\u2019ll take it. And this is likely going to happen with more frequency to marginal shows that look and feel different than formula network TV and do well by streaming standards. (Another example: <em>Zoey\u2019s Extraordinary Playlist<\/em>, awaiting <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> of a third-season pickup amid rumors that it could be heading to NBC\u2019s Peacock streamer.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comment: <\/strong>CBS is doing its best to drive away viewers. Yesterday it was <em>SEAL Team<\/em>, today <em>Evil<\/em>. I do not stream. Only one company in my area has the speed fast enough and I will not pay $140 per month for Internet. CBS has now alienated their viewers so much I wouldn\u2019t give them the satisfaction of streaming, I will be content with my satellite package and DVDs I can watch free of charge from the public library. Since I\u2019m over age 49, these networks don\u2019t care about my business. They don\u2019t realize there is a significant population in their ignored age group. Do they think people who feel like I do will be investing any more time in watching their shows? Who cares about their fall lineup now. CBS News is in third place, their prime time can soon be there too. Thanks for letting me vent. \u2014 <em>Unsigned<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> This kind of reaction is only to be expected, but there\u2019s no denying the industry\u2019s overall shift from traditional distribution (cable, satellite) to streaming as a way for these media companies to stay relevant and profitable when network viewership and ad revenue is in steady decline. I\u2019ll admit I was surprised by CBS shifting <em>SEAL Team<\/em> to Paramount+ next season after just four episodes on CBS in the fall, but as Deadline reported, \u201cthe biggest challenge for the show\u2019s renewal was its very high price tag,\u201d and to ensure a fifth season (which would bring the show to the magic 100 episodes that might ensure a robust afterlife), streaming was the company\u2019s very imperfect solution.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Mountain_of_Confusion\"><\/span><strong>A Mountain of Confusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Question: <\/strong>I would like to know if Season 4 of <em>Yellowstone<\/em> will be on the Paramount Network or strictly just on Paramount+. I can\u2019t seem to find any information on this. I definitely hope it will be on the Paramount Network as I am sure others do too. \u2014 <em>Mary P<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Roush:<\/strong> All things considered, an understandable confusion. When it returns (no air date yet), <em>Yellowstone<\/em> will remain on Paramount Network, though several spinoffs in development appear to be heading to the streamer exclusively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editor\u2019s Note: <\/strong>Last week I fielded a question about whether HBO Max\u2019s exclusive programming might end up airing on linear HBO. I said no, but a few days later, at WarnerMedia\u2019s upfront announcement, a new initiative was announced, titled \u201cFront Row,\u201d in which selected HBO Max series will be presented with limited commercials on TBS and TNT starting this summer. Titles include <em>Love Life, Close Enough, 12 Dates of Christmas, Titans, Class Action Park <\/em>\u2014 and in 2022, the buzzy first season of <em>The Flight Attendant <\/em>will air on TBS in advance of the second season on HBO Max.
