Nothing is safe on TV these days, except maybe "Scandal." It's the grim time of year when networks start to set their upcoming lineups, cancelling shows that may have underperformed and picking up pilots to try to win viewers come fall. NBC's "Community" got the ax before it could make six seasons and a movie. ABC cut the hilarious "Trophy Wife," and FOX said goodbye to the great-but-ignored "Enlisted."
The networks have eliminated 17 shows so far, including meh comedies like "Growing Up Fisher" and freshman dramas like "Believe" (see the full list here). We were broken up about some of these great losses, but the stars themselves took to Twitter to say farewell to their shows. Take a look at how some TV actors said goodbye.
"Community"
Twitter isn't big enough to hold my condolences and more importantly my gratitude to the best fans, cast and crew in TV history. Excelsior.

With a 1.8 demo average rating and a People's Choice Award for 'Best New TV Comedy', I think we did pretty well for a freshman show x
