ABC cancels five shows: Bless This Mess, Emergence, Schooled, Single Parents and Kids Say the Darndest Things

TheWrap

Comedies Bless This Mess, The Goldbergs spinoff Schooled and Single Parents have each been given the axe after two seasons. Emergence, one of the best-reviewed freshman shows from last season, won't return for a second season after disappointing ratings. Tiffany Haddish's reboot of Kids Say the Darndest Things also won't be back after premiering last fall. Meanwhile, ABC has yet to make a decision on midseason freshman series Baker and the Beauty and For Life. UPDATE: Single Parents and Bless This Mess co-creator Liz Meriwether wrote on Instagram: "Two shows canceled in one day? I get the message, ABC! This is my broadcast Red Wedding."
