Short answer, no.
Or more likely he's unhappy over things like this.

2017-18 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: E Corp does hostile takeover. Shuts down fsociety

Sounds like a a couple of series not making it past the pilot or even to the pilot phase, along with the Black-ish episode, may be his point to look elsewhere. I wonder if the Toni Collette drama was the toughest one, since it's mentioned as a passion project. Though one year into a four year deal, that may be more difficult than Shonda leaving with one year left.
NCIS is still on? humph.
If I had to wildly speculate, I would say ABC might be shopping another revival to pair with it.
I think Black-ish is still unapologetically Black, but the point is probably that it doesn't matter, because families are just families.
Never bet against old people!
It has no focus, unlike S1. Instead it's like several different boring stories going on at once.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Not really cancelled though, they always had a plan.
Oh ok cool deals. Thank you all for the info. Lol the theater i go to getting some TV time.
That's great news. Thank you. When I googled it the other day it said no new ep till next week.
Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Season 1 was fun, but I didn't quite get the massive love it got. Season 2 is an off-the-rails catastrophe.
It's interesting that they're trying to poach so many people from broadcast - goin for that mass appeal~
Like the THR article says, I'd be Barris is the first to jump ship. The shelving of a "Black-ish" episode and his pilot losing Baldwin are one thing, but ABC then giving a platform to a known anti-semite, Trump-loving, alt-righter must have killed any interest he had in continuing on with ABC Studios. I'd say Levitan is a stretch too far considering he seems to thrive in the broadcast TV model a la Chuck Lorre. I'd say Seth McFarlane is probably going to jump ship sooner rather than later considering his lack of new animated series, the now-non-existant film career, and the cost v. the audience of "The Orwell".
Except I think that's not really true at all. The experiences of a the typical black/Asian family are certainly different than that of a middle class white family. It would be like if someone commented that people are people when being criticized for the lack of diversity in Hollywood.
Anyway it's hard for me to ever give that show the benefit of the doubt despite who's writing it
Looks like the Monica Lewinsky/Clinton scandal season of American Crime Story is being scrapped. They're moving forward on the Katrina story for the next season.
(Warning: there's an autoplay video!)

I enjoy this show more than I liked to admit but Warren Kole really plays a despicable scumbag.
With Blackish I agree, but with FoB they might as well be any other family because of how generic their experience is.
I said this a year or so ago, but we live in an age where a show like Doctor Ken has come and went and no one gave a shit. There was no outcry from the Asian-American community about ABC killing an Asian sitcom, no hot takes from either the critic community or the blogosphere. We're sort of living in an age where it just doesn't matter anymore because they experiences are generic enough that anyone can watch them.
It's probably why the Carmichael Show was never really a hit. It had a sharper edge than Black-ish (and it was more 80s too in terms of just having a family sit around and talk for 20 minutes), so people liked it but no one really championed it.
Also, a couple of interesting tidbits:
So Shonda's deal was for a minimum of $100 million - she could potentially make a whole lot more.
Apple's two-season Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston series cost nearly $250 million?! That's like $120 million per season for a show set in the world of morning news! (and I'm sure a significant portion of that is going toward the actresses' salaries, but still!)
Also, THR needs to fire their photographer(s)
lol
At this point they could do a Trump/Stormy Daniels season. :p
At this rate Ill have nothing to watch as I continue to refuse to support netflix :(
why are they forking over this much money for these shows, I cant imagine people are truly making a financial contribution to these series, I mean, i dont think the normal person is buying merchandise, paying 4.99 for a download to own episode, or etc?
The point isn't merchandise, it's subscriptions.
Apple doesn't want you jumping ship to Spotify or Netflix or whomever. They want you to be an Apple Media subscriber till the day you die, so they can generate more money than what Apple Music makes for them. The name of the game is subscriptions, which means content is king. They who generate the most compelling content are they who end up controlling the entire landscape of media. Apple's in a good place to make such outlandish deals because the hardware side of the company mints money. They have enough in their coffers to make deals like this, something that Netflix doesn't have and Disney & Amazon do. Disney's streaming service isn't going to have R-rated content, which means Apple, Netflix, and Amazon are all competing for the prestige dramedy which means pulling out the big bucks for things like this.
Netflix shareholders know that which is why their stock keeps rising despite their increasing debt, because its now an arms race to see how many creatives one can secure before shit hits the fan. Amazon's still reforming after Roy Price's shit, Disney's still getting ready to launch, Hulu is a shitshow due to the multiple conglomerates that own a share of it, and Apple's new to Hollywood. This isn't even to mention the culture clash between Hollywod and Silicon Valley Netflix, as of now, is the most secure place to be for the burgeoning creative, but now that Jen Salke heads up Amazon and once Apple and co. get used to Hollywood, then you'll see a dynamic similar to broadcast emerge.
Imagine paying someone for that picture.Also, a couple of interesting tidbits:

A shitload of amateur, starving photographers should be pissed.

On a surprisingly related note:
History Scraps Bill Clinton Impeachment Drama Series 'The Breach'
I'm almost starting to believe in the Killary Clinton conspiracy theories, she's murdered two shows!
Fixed that for you. I'm going to frame that photo, it brings me so much joy.Also, THR needs to pay so much more money to their photographer(s)
Penny Dreadful is coming back? Awesome.Also, THR needs to fire their photographer(s)
All those Black Mirror fans and no one is watching Cunk on Britain. I really feel like a hipster fanboy right now. lol
That's good - not only was the Lewinsky affair close to the real start to the partisan politics that we now have - and thus heavily biased - but Lewinsky has done a lot to move away from just being "that woman", including giving anti-bullying talks. Be sad to see her become known again just for that.
You left out this important bit!
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same photographer that took all those pictures of Nic Pizzolatto staring at walls in that abandoned warehouse.
The Fox International / EPIX series 'Deep State' starring Mark Strong has been renewed for a second season ahead of its series premiere tomorrow.

This is one of its biggest issues. The characters are also poorly written, and their motivations are strange beyond words. None are likeable now, and the show keeps spinning its tires with silly plots and underwhelming big reveals.
I mean, it's still somewhat enjoyable, but it's really turned into a soap opera.
Atone by watching Cardinal. It's great.
I tried Bellevue, but it was weird and didn't do a lot for me. Maybe I'll give it a second chance sometime, since it seems to have blown up some and gotten into the US market.
My family has always watched Heartland and it's a quality show, but not exactly for me.
She'll never escape that network
Mark my words she'll be playing a mom in a CW (or whatever Netflix hybrid it's evolved into) teen drama by the end of the 2020s

I really hope she's telling the truth about not being in the inner circle of that sex slave cult and never having anything to do with that side of it before leaving.
I hope Netflix also targets Ron D Moore (yeah I know he is busy with Outlander), and that eventually they get to make a cosmic horror anthology or something.TV's First $300M Man: The Wild and Weepy Backstory of Ryan Murphy's Blockbuster Netflix Deal
It's a good look at what went on for Netflix to get Murphy on board. But what I find more interesting are the people Netflix is targeting:
Barris, for sure, seems like a lock because of the success of "Girls' Trip" and "Ride Along."
I'd kill to see R D Moore tackle some Lovecraftian stuff with R rating...
Apparently the show is actually "Burden of Truth" and not "proof"
EDIT: Never mind, Variety has corrected their pages now lol
Wait theres gonna be a Jennifer Aniston and Reese show? HYPED the next Big Little Lies is coming (alongside Big Little lies S2).
The Canadian crime shows feel strange to me because they're like the Nordic dramas twice removed - they're copying the American shows that are copying the British ones that are copying the Nordic ones.
