Arguably, some of the best nights are spent wrapped up in a warm blanket watching a new episode of your favorite TV show. Sadly, a majority of them are going to end in 2017.

Some longer running shows ending are this year are “The Vampire Diaries,” ”Teen Wolf,” “Duck Dynasty,” and “Pretty Little Liars.”

Shows like “Dead of Summer,” “Crowded,” and “Aquarius” are leaving our screens after just one season.

“I started watching “Conviction” because I liked Hayley Atwell. Then it got cancelled after it just began like “Marvel’s Agent Carter,” said Tabitha Wright, sophomore.

Ultimately, TV shows are cancelled due to ratings, or lack of. Some shows get to reach their full potential and are cancelled when the cast and crew think the show has run its course. Others need TV euthanasia, a term used in the industry, so they do not lose their way like “Lost” did.

   Since Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and other internet media got into the television game, cable shows have been smacked with a big “cancelled” sticker. People realize they should not have to pay for cable when they have easy access to binge away a weekend with “Gossip Girl,” every DC comic show the CW has to offer, or Netflix breakout hits like, “Stranger Things.”

“Douglas and Lee, just like the rest of us who go to the movies, are a tad puzzled about why so many good American roles have been going to English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Australian, and Canadian actors,” said Terrance Rafferty, reporter, The Atlantic magazine.

“Sleepy Hollow,” “The Walking Dead,” and “Arrow” are all victims of the British-American switch.

Shocking major character deaths give fans reasons to stop watching shows, too. When ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” killed off Dr. Derek Shepard, one of the few cast members who made it from season one to 12, fans started a Change.org petition. When writers killed off Beth Greene on the AMC hit “The Walking Dead,” fans started a Change.org petition that got over 65,000 signatures. Both of these incidents were featured on multimedia news outlets like “Good Morning America” and “The Daily Show,” and gave the already popular shows more publicity.

While not every show may have fans as loyal or fierce, every show does have fans, and when the show is axed after little screen time, it hurts just as much. Whatever the reason for it, it is always difficult to say goodbye. Especially if these season one cancellations were supposed to fill the void left by …
