Now that 2022 is underway, and with it a crop of new TV shows set to debut, it's hard not to take a moment to think about all the excellent TV shows (and some less than excellent) that were lost in 2021. All told, 62 TV shows were canceled last year, ranging from long-running series to shows that dropped dead as soon as they got off the ground. Even a long-running awards show got the ax.

As we prepare for a year that will surely include so many more shows coming to an end, let's take one last look at the series we said goodbye to in 2022. We'll miss you forever, Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Once you take a look at last year's cancelations, make sure to also take a look at all the shows that called it quits in 2020. And while you're at it, make sure you keep up on what shows Netflix canceled last year, as well.
