Report: Constantine Not Cancelled by NBC

Go to SyFy! Go to SyFy!

Well that's a bummer. I didn't watch it myself but it always sucks when your show gets canceled (especially since it's a comic show.)

Can't say I wasn't expecting this from the beginning. I knew NBC wouldn't have confidence in this show. Too bad, I really like it and wished they would've at least been able to finish its first arc.

Can't say I was a Hugh fan of Constantine, but I'm sad for its fans. I hope it goes to a network that actually treats it well.

gotham second season and constantine canceled .....no comments

After losing wrestling, they'll have some open slots in the schedule coming up.

Constantine had pretty much no chance at getting renewed by NBC. Sorry for the fans. :/

It's all about ratings, not quality.

Gotham is averaging a 2.28 rating(though it fell it's ratings fell 25% this last episode)

while Constantine averaged a 0.92 rating.

Still the best comic show

I like how crap shows like Arrow, Agents of Shield and Gotham can get second seasons but a decent show like Constantine gets canned.

At least make a reboot on SyFy !

How does AoS go from the best CBTV show(after the winter finale), to a crap show?

Weren't they pronouncing his name wrong in the show anyway? I read somewhere that the pronunciation of his name is a huge deal in the comics but they just went full steam with the mispronunciation on the show.

I hate s*** like that.

@transformers1024: to each their own. I agree with your sentiment completely it's rather baffling but not that much considering NBC's time slotting

AoS may have gotten better since the first season, but it's still cr** compared to other shows (Flash, Daredevil).

Also, I don't understand people that call Arrow a cr** show. Yes, it's third season has been slower compared to the first two, but those seasons were awesome. You can't judge an entire show based on one season.

Sad that this was canned but Gotham is still lurking about, but hey what you gonna do? Pray for SyFy to pick it up though I doubt it would be as good as it would probably get half the budget.

I didnt watch this but sorry to all its fans...

What was Gotham last episode 18-49 rating 1.7? Isn't that to low for the first season in a Fox series? AoS first season that was not good until Cap 2 connection never had 18-49 ratings bellow 1.8...

I don't think you need to censor crap. Anyway the user i was responding to, had said aos was the best CB show on tv after the winter finale, so i wanted to know how his opinion had changed so much.

AoS this season imo is just as good/better then The Flash.

You can't judge an entire show based on one season. And yet that's what everyone does to AoS.

@solomongrundysm: shhh, be quiet. Or else the DD fanboys will hear you

It was actually a 1.5.

it was bound to die because they put it on Fridays which is a graveyard for shows ...it was destined to fail

GOOD! I for one i'm glad this bland series is getting dumped! More like "Watered Down-Blazer"

A series based on hellblazer will never work if networks and show creators are too worried about "offending" someone

People will watch garbage if it's connected to Batman but won't watch a good show if they don't know who the main character is.

1.) It's quite far from the "best CBTV show" regardless of whatever happened after Winter Soldier. Walking Dead and Daredevil are leagues ahead like I've already expressed to you numerous times in other threads amongst other (admitedly changing) opinions that I've had about these shows.

2.) I don't think your properly read what I wrote so I'll explain;

I like how crap shows like Arrow, Agents of Shield and Gotham can get second seasons

Now the key part is obviously the underlined section where I stated how these shows can get secondseasons. Now since you obviously don't want to discuss Arrow & Gotham I'll continue this conversation with Agents of Shield.

Yes the second season vastly different from the first in many ways; hell it could almost be considered an entirely different show when comparing both seasons. But referring back to the first season like I've explicitly stated now and many other times; it sucked whether hardcore fanboys want to admit it or not and honestly did not deserve a second season at that time. Ranging from cheesy one liners, to clunky dialogue, to subpar CGI, I'm surprised the show made it past the pilot episode. Amd whether fanboys want to admit this part, the only thing that kept that show alive was the fact it was a Marvel Studios production and tied in with one of the biggest films of all time. That is literally all that it had going for it throughout 17/22 episodes of its first season -- and somehow managed to score another season despite pisspoor reviews and a drastic drop in ratings before the show could even find its stride. If this was any other show it would have been cancelled so damn quick we wouldn't even remember the show even existed. But Marvel/Disney/ABC refused to let the show die despite all of that because they finally saw the potential that it had to offer.

So yes, I stand by my statement when I say; "I like how crap shows like Arrow, Agents of Shield and Gotham can get second seasons but a decent show like Constantine gets canned."

Yup, his name isn't pronounced "Constinteen", it's pronounced "Constintyne" which is one of the things that bothered me. Also the "not being able to smoke" bothered me because that's a huge part of his personality, dude's a heavy chain smoker

this really blows.I really loved this show a ton and it got me into the character and I even read some of the comics,and just felt season 1 was solid.Sad day for me as a fan of this show and just the great people who worked on it :(

I stopped watching this show anyway.

I was talking about the winter finale this year, and i was referring to your comment not my own opinion

I never thought there would come a day where I would admit that this is the best comic book show on television.

Ok, so you're not saying it's a crap show now, you're saying it was a crap show in season one, is that correct?

In the 2013-14 season Agents of SHIELD was ABC's 5th highest rated show, any show with those rating's would've been renewed. But i'm sure it didn't hurt that it had those connections.

It's Firefly all over gone...

:(

Maybe Justice League Dark will get the audience to realize the awesomeness that is John Constantine.

:(

If this is true I will go to America and bitchslap any and all NBC employees >:|

I'm truly heartbroken, I absolutely loved this show.

... #SaveConstantine

(I don't care if it's hopeless, I still wanna try)

Do I really have to surf the interweb to find the link and specific posts to show you where I flat out corrected myself to you and elaborated on my evolving views on these shows? Because since that post you just quoted, I've had to explain myself to you numerous times about how I find the first season to be crap yet the second season is better. In one of those posts, I distinctly telling you that while I did say at one point that this was the best CBTV show (still miles behind The Walking Dead), I had re-watched the second season and noticed many areas of improvement and how it's not quite on the level of quality I thought this show was on but how was getting there.

In the 2013-14 season Agents of SHIELD was ABC's 5th highest rated show, any show with those rating's would've been renewed. But i'm sure it didn't hurt that it had those connections.

Okay, that still doesn't help the fact that they lost over 60% of their viewership before the S1 mid-season. Especially when you compare it to other shows on different networks. But that isn't the topic nor argument that I'm trying to get at so whatever.

AoS is the only bad show from the ones he mentioned.

@matthewparker: Second season of AoS is so good. The MCU is being very well fleshed with the show. The show has been great since Cap 2. Seeing the fallout of Shield on TV is a smart move since AoU probably doesn't have enough time to discuss much. With Slade Wilson/Deathstroke the second season of Arrow had one of the best depicted villains in a comic TV series (although season 3 has slumped a bit). I have no idea if Constantine was good or not but AoS and Arrow are both pretty damn good.

Nooooooooooooo...... *breathes* ooooooooooooooo! I am really hoping this survives on another network... was expecting this but still... poor Constantine just can't catch a break :(

@goonage: I kind if agree, but when you compare Arrow to Flash, Arrow comes up way too short. And I'm a fan of Arrow.

I was enjoying Constantine. Gotham is absolute garbage.Arrow is getting worse by very small amounts. But Flash is what makes every week worth waiting for

DC has HBO at their disposal,I don't see why they don't dump some shows on HBO.

@transformers1024: Yeah,I mean what's next?Cancel The Walkind Dead but keep the iZombie show?

Damn.....no bueno

I wasn't watching this (I've never been too much into the whole magic-corner of the DCU) but based on the articles and news I saw on comicvine I gotta say: weren't we all expecting this to happen?

Which by the way, I find a shame, if only out of solidarity with my fellow comics fans.

I couldn't remember exactly how the conversations went, but I remember your opinion going from it's the best CBTV to it's good/ok. But i was just surprised you now thought it was a crap show. But now i know you were talking about S1.

It's really not a bad show, but everyone has different opinions.

Yeah i'm sorry man, hopefully another network will pick it up.

:\

RIP

Because opinions? I didn't like Constantine, but I like Arrow. Not that I thought Constantine was crap, just not something I'm into. Granted, pretty much everything has an audience. They just have to tune in. Isn't always the case, such as was this. They tuned in for Arrow, AoS, and Gotham.

This guy gets it. I'm just waiting on them to do a movie about the first time Bruce Wayne went to a public bathroom. No doubt it would outsell most anything else on the market.
