10:40 pm - 12/16/2011

2011 was a brutal year for television. Shows dropped like flies. From decades-old daytime shows to quickly-canceled prime-time fare, the 60 programs featured in this slideshow all ended their run. Now, sit back with some tissues and take a moment to remember the television shows we lost in 2011.
Also a video montage with other some shows that were omitted from this list.
Hannah Montana: March 24, 2006 - January 16, 2011
As the star went up in smoke, so went the show

There is no defense in the end.

The Cape: January 9, 2011 - March 11, 2011

Detroit 1-8-7: September 21, 2010 - March 20, 2011
1-8-7ed before its time.

The end was not a secret.

Brothers & Sisters: September 24, 2006 - May 8, 2011

Outsourced: September 23, 2010 - May 12, 2011
Replaced by a cheaper program from India

Smallville: October 16, 2001 - May 13, 2011
Perhaps kryptonite was its undoing...

What's the code for cancellation?

The Oprah Winfrey Show: September 8, 1986 - May 25, 2011
You've got a cancellation! And you've got a cancellation!
And you've got a cancellation!

The times got too hard.

United States of Tara: January 18, 2009 - June 20, 2011
Not so united anymore

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: September 30, 2001 - June 26, 2011
Does the absence of law and order mean TV anarchy?

Much like men of a certain age, this show's time was limited.

Law & Order: Los Angeles: September 29, 2010 - July 11, 2011
Crime once again can control the City of Angels

CHAOS: April 1, 2011 - July 16, 2011

All My Children: January 5, 1970 - September 23, 2011
Nothing lasts forever, but at least this came close.

The Playboy Club: September 19, 2011 - October 3, 2011
No one wants to remember that part of the '60s.
Free Agents: September 14, 2011 - October 5, 2011
They were agents of their own demise.

H8R: September 14, 2011 - October 5, 2011
H8d 2 D3th

and so damn scripted
And Paul Reiser had a show that only lasted a week? Somewhere, Helen Hunt is laughing and watching Pay It Forward.
LOL Skins
I just re-watch it over and over on Netflix
Bye you flop post-season 1 piece of shit
(except there is a special place in my heart for dean + jeff "kiss from a rose" and the racist trampoline guy)
DYING
lmao
and I thought the ones that lasted only a month were bad.
Was anyone really surprised? Anyone? Bueller?
By god
They are bad
I GOT PAID $500
But it did validate my taste in TV shows, though.
I had to stop reading them, they were painful.
I miss them most of all
this show went on for too damn long
Once they brought Lois in they should have just killed it. Or way before then, but still.
7th Heaven was the absolute worst.
I hated that show but I used to love reading the recaps on TWoP.
