Alcatraz, canceled

Detective Madsen and Hauser looking for another job;
"Doc" Soto was smarter and kept his.

I knew it, you knew it, everyone knew it, but an official announcement was yet to be made: Alcatraz has been canceled.

No surprise there, as ratings were terrible, didn't even reach the 5 million viewers' mark on its last episode, which is pretty awful for a Monday night, and even more awful if we're talking about a short season (13 episodes) and not a full season (22 episodes).

Well, Alcatraz won't be alone in the void, as it will join several other shows that were canceled this week, among them are The Secret Circle, Ringer, Harry's Law, The Finder, Are You There, Chelsea?, A Gifted Man, Awake, and more.

But there's hope for other shows, as they were renewed for another season: Gossip Girl (a short final season), Body Of Proof, Whitney, Nikita, Suburgatory, Castle, Parks & Recreation, The Office, Once Upon A Time, The Middle, Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy, Parenthood, 30 Rock, Community, among them.
