It’s bloodletting time in the TV business. As the networks prepare for their annual upfront presentations one week from now, during which they will announce new programming for the fall, they are dropping the hammer on underperforming shows. The time-travel bubble looks to have burst, with shows like Making History and Timeless being discontinued; while the heroes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will live to protect another day, the heroes of Powerless will not. Here is the running list of dearly departed shows.
