Earn points without the guilt of rooting for human beings to die! And it's easy to play. Pick 10 shows you believe will be cancelled by the end of this 2014-2015 season (which includes late cancellations announced next summer) and whoever has the most points at the end wins!

Shows that are cancelled but then picked up by another network are still considered cancelled for our purposes. Shows that are cancelled but then the networks pretend after the fact that they were just a single season series are considered cancelled for our purposes.

Points:
20 points for picking a new or returning cable series that gets cancelled. For our purposes, the current season of the cable series must begin after Sept 1 and/or end before June 1 of next year.
30 points for picking a returning series that gets cancelled.
40 points for picking a new series that gets cancelled.
10 point bonus for picking how many episodes into a season that a show gets cancelled. (total episodes that AIR, I mean)
20 point bonus for picking ONE series you guarantee won't be cancelled. If it's not, you get paid.

Here's the network show list for this season: http://www.tvguide.com/special/fall-preview/fall-schedule.aspx

You have until NOON on Sept 15th to make or change your picks. You can change your picks as much as you want before then.

I don't like this. You have been near the top every year. This year you picked Hawaii Five-O and Scorpion. Please be wrong!

I'm liking Scorpion so far, but the pilot set way too high a bar for emotional moments and killer popcorn-flick stunts that the next two episodes couldn't possibly have hoped to touch. But it's pulling in double-digit ratings, so chances are I'm gonna lose points on it.

 

I do see a lot of other dead shows walking on my list, though. And when Selfie falls, many of us shall dine on its misery like kings.
