ABC canceling really good shows....

ABC Cancels Three Dramas, including Big Sky; Alaska Daily and The Company You Keep...

I really liked the Company you Keep....

The networks don't seem to care about viewership and good content....I recorded The Company You Keep and watched on Hulu....watched the others too ....

Maybe someone else like Netflix will pick some of these up.....Seems like you fear a little with following a series as it may be short lived/ one season then BOOM...

And extra details come out of the woodwork during upheaval.

Since the series don’t have loyalty at ABC, they will find loyalty elsewhere.

liked the company you keep as well. I never watched the other shows you mentioned. There is a medical show that’s been on forever on ABC-grey’s anatomy. Cancel that and keep the company you keep. It always had a lousy time period-Sunday at 9pm (central).
