The Totally Biased cancellation was odd t be sure. I swear there is some missing component that we just don’t know about.
I suspect NBC is hoping people’s memories of Last Comic Standing will help pull in viewers for a season. They’ll probably kill it again and bring it back in another couple years. Wanda Sykes is an executive producer so maybe she’s got some unique take on it.
I’m glad for the fans that The Killing is coming back and I completely agree that Netflix could do very well by being the one to swoop in and resolve unfinished series. Personally, as one who does write ups of final episodes for my site, I am getting tired of doing summaries and then having to chuck them three months later because this show gets brought back to life again! lol
