May 11 will be remembered as a deadly day for ABC as it canceled many fan-favorite shows. All the major networks have announced the renewal and cancelation of a number of new and established shows, as reported by Pop Culture.

Many series that have been axed by their networks were already setting up a new arc into their scripts and may have to end the series with unresolved storylines.

For instance, crowd-favorite Brooklyn-Nine-Nine was canceled by Fox despite high ratings.

Rosanne was canceled after ABC decided to distance themselves from the lead star Roseanne Barr following her controversial tweet about former aide of the Obama administration, Valerie Jarret.

It got a 0.5 in the 18-49 demographic and garnered a total of 3 million viewers. The third season was abbreviated in terms of the number of episodes.

3. The Crossing:

The single-camera comedy about a rapper running for office failed to make an impact, despite being well-placed considering the political atmosphere.

10. Ten Days In The Valley:

The Kyra Sedgwick-drama did not manage to get high ratings in the Sunday 10 p.m. slot and was moved to the Saturday slot after 4 episodes. The show ran its course of 10 episodes before being canceled by ABC.
