In what will sadly not be the last of these kinds of reversals, ABC decided yesterday to cancel the Cobie Smulders dramedy series Stumptown despite having renewed the show for Season 2 earlier this year. ABC Signature, the studio behind the show, plans to shop it around to hopefully find it a new home. The reason for the cancellation is partly COVID. Production was obviously expected to begin on Stumptown Season 2 earlier this summer, but TV shows are only just now getting back to work. Further complicating matters is the fact that the series changed showrunners ahead of Season …

And now, in great news for "people who don't have basic cable," or people who just …

The Wonderful World of Disney has a long history, and some of it that output has been quite odd.

The cast of High School Musical really is all in this together. The original one.
