One Reason TV Networks Cancel Good Shows

Obviously the primary reason for TV cancellation is that the show just doesn’t have high enough ratings and, therefore, is not making the network enough money. However, at times, new executives come into the company with pet projects they want to push into production, but in order to do that they have to cut existing shows, so they sometimes cancel a good show that’s underperforming but not so much that it couldn’t yet turn around, just so they can replace it with a show they want on the air.
