After 4 seasons, TNT decided to cut bait on Franklin & Bash, the buddy lawyer dramedy starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer. I bailed on the show this summer during its 4th season, when it came back without co-stars Dana Davis and Kumail Nanjiani, and seemed to have lost any creative spark. At it’s best, it was never must-see TV, and this past season was far from its best.

Post Mortem – Whitney
Whitney was one of two network television shows created by Whitney Cummings to premiere during the fall of 2011. It also was the one that she also starred in, and was the one that got cancelled after 2 less than stellar seasons.
This show was a surprise renewal after its first season and, after a retooling that dropped one character and turned another one from a cop to a bar owner, struggled through a second season before being put out of its misery. The one bright side, at least to my mind, was Rhea Seehorn, who has also appeared on TNT’s Franklin & Bash. Besides her, the show was mostly a mess and it certainly will not be missed.
