The 15 Most Painful TV Cancellations And Endings Of 2013

Gone, but not forgotten. R.I.P.

Smash

Now before you scoff, hear me out. Smash was one of the best shows to hate-watch, an activity that everyone loves to do, and we lost that with the cancellation of NBC's "drama" about the behind the scenes world of Broadway. However, the "so-good-it's-bad" show ended up on the chopping block as a victim of low ratings and a mismanaged creative team. But thankfully the show was on long enough for the world to fall in love with the darling that is Megan Hilty.

The Dana Delaney drama underwent some retooling for the third season, and while Delaney consistently sold the hell out of Megan Hunt, the series still received mixed reviews. ABC pulled the plug on the medical drama, but rumors picked up that it would receive a second life (which Delaney refuted).

Dexter

This show would probably be up higher on the list had it's finale not sucked so bad. Dexter consistently fluctuated between good and bad, and it's a shame that it had to end in such a terrible way.

Showtime

Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23

The axing of this show meant the loss of Krysten Ritter's truely great Chloe, but other than that, the show's departure was not a great loss. What was so painful was that ABC completely cut it off the air with episodes still left to air, then made fans wait until May to throw them all on the internet for a limited time. Ugh.
