NBC's 'Sean Saves the World' is 2014's first canceled TV series in its first season

We said good-bye to a number of shows, many for being canceled, in 2013. So with that sorrow fresh in your minds, we would like to share the first casualty of 2014 in the television world. NBC's promising situational comedy show Sean Save the World featuring acclaimed actor Sean Hayes, has officially be canceled in its freshman season.

NBC originally ordered 13 episodes from this series about Hayes portraying a gay single father, but added five more to the season order. With only 14 episodes filmed and 12 already aired, the network has decided to not film the remaining four and just end production on the show completely. The final two episodes could air after NBC's coverage of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

Sean Saves the World had an uphill ratings battle from the start. Unlike Thursday neighbor The Michael J. Fox Show, which NBC committed to airing a full 22 episodes, Sean Saves the World was middling out of the gate with a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 and 4.4 million viewers for its October premiere. The numbers never improved. A recent move to 9:30 p.m. didn't increase ratings, with the latest episode averaging just a 0.7 in the key demo and a series-low 2.6 million.

Though this is the first series to be canceled in 2014, it isn't the first in terms of NBC's 2013/14 season. The network's show Welcome to the Family was canceled within a month of its premiere.

Do you think any other shows will be canceled any time soon?
