Tear. Shortly after granting all other freshman series full season orders, NBC decided to axe the spy series with potential Undercovers. And just when the creative team was about to retool the show’s structure by injecting some exciting mythos into it. Too little too late, as they say? I happened to highly enjoy this series; the writing is smart, the action is cutting edge, and the small, vibrant cast is worth investing in. And to think that a J.J. Abrams show could ever be cancelled! Never thought I’d see the day come. You can blame it on the lack of a gripping subplot (but that was coming!) and poor ratings; the show hit a series low last night drawing only 5.8 million viewers.
But enough grieving for now. Bet you’re wondering about the remainder of Undercovers episodes. NBC will air three more episodes in the short term (11/10, 11/17, 12/1) and may run three additional episodes at a later time. The information regarding those lingering episodes remains unclear right now. RIP Blooms. I just hope that we find out what Shaw, Alan Dale, and the CIA had in store for the sexy duo.

bull shist… best show on tv
Sad,I enjoyed the show and once it leaves I doubt that I will watch NBC much again during the week except for Sunday Night Football.What is sad is that NBC/Universal has some lame shows on it other networks like USA that they continue to air that are worse than this one.Just air it on cable along with those shows.
