It wasn't quite the Red Wedding, but Thursday brought viewers news of more than a dozen prime-time shows being axed to make room for new programs next season.
ABC took the sword to seven series (including country music drama "Nashville" and veteran whodunit "Castle") while Fox is sacrificing five freshman shows, including comedies starring aging pretty boys Rob Lowe and John Stamos.
Meanwhile, CBS is deleting "CSI: Cyber" after this, its sophomore season, thus laying to rest the "CSI" dynasty that encompassed four series during a 16-year span.
The official body count — as well as new programming blood for the 2016-2017 season — will be rolled out next week at the networks' "upfront" sessions for advertisers.
But through a combination of network leaks and networks jumping the gun, a flood of announcements got early exposure Thursday.

Wasn’t there a version with San Francisco as the setting?
I was really enjoying Alcatraz and it was killed just when it was getting interesting. I wanted to know how the cons and warden were doing the time thing.
Me too. Just finished watching the latest season of "Vera." Thankfully she'll be back for another season next year.
He seemed to fit in "Enterprise", though.
I was disappointed when they cancelled that too. I like Sam Neill. Not sure if you'd ever be able to find it, but he did a series (Australian production) in 2014 with Bryan Brown titled "Old School." Synopsis: "The eight-part series follows the adventures of the retired criminal Lennie Cahill and the retired cop Ted McCabe." A very funny program. I was hoping they'd continue with the series, but they never did.
I have been watching the episodes on MeTV when I get the chance. Unfortunately, it isn’t every day.
I think I will have to check out the dvds and watch the episodes in order. I should have plenty of time to watch them when I drop Uverse in a month.
I must have missed that one.
Most shows are so PC bad, it’s one of the better ones. The Flash is a metrosexual who gets slapped around by women and sits around and cries.
Me too. I haven’t watched more than a handful of episodes of network shows in the last 25 years. And haven’t missed a thing, either.

“Let’s go back to the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a ninety-pound girl, ‘cause I don’t think that’s ever gonna get old.”
Say what you will about the Walking Dead but at least the show runners have the characters look like they live in a world where society has collapsed and the characters appear grungy and disheveled like one would if their was little hot water to be had for showers etc.
Good one
You left out The Witness. I LOVE her eyes!
I’ve been watching “Man in the High Castle” too. Interesting take on the original Philip K. Dick story. It kind of rhymes with it, same characters but differences with the book. Which is I guess typical of his stories put to movie/TV. It’s pretty interesting. I also hope they have another season.
I understand this is the last season for Person of Interest.
Elsa as a lezzie is just a fan petition, nothing more. My feeling is that if they really want to go in that direction, Frozen 2 will leave it ambiguous, with Frozen 3 the big reveal. Just this simple techno-serf’s opinion.
