NBC has canceled the gay-themed The New Normal, and ABC has pulled the plug on Happy Endings, which has a prominent gay character, although another network may pick up the latter.
The New Normal, created by Glee's Ryan Murphy and starring Justin Bartha and Andrew Rannells as a gay couple seeking to become parents with a surrogate mother, had just modest ratings in its one season. NBC announced the cancellation today; the network's only returning sitcoms will be the popular Parks & Recreation and the cult favorite Community, Deadline Hollywood reports.
On Happy Endings, an ensemble comedy about a group of Chicago friends, the nonstereotypical gay character Max, played by Adam Pally, became a breakout favorite. ABC today announced that the show, which has been on for three seasons, will not be renewed. The USA Network, however, has expressed interest in it and likely will begin serious negotiations about picking it up now that the cancellation is official, according to Deadline Hollywood.

She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
