More information to fill the lists for cancelled shows of 2012 and renewed shows of 2012. I remember I was excited for this show when it was first ordered as “Rookies”, But then it somehow got renamed as NYC22 and it looked more impersonal with that name, at least to me. Then it was premiere time, and after mixed reviews and lackluster ratings, the writing was on the wall. The show was going to go. Now it´s official: CBS cancels NYC22 after a handful of episodes and despite its pedigree: let´s recall it´s produced by Robert DeNiro and has a cast that includes Adam Goldberg and LeeLee Sobieski.
What was NYC22 about? Plot Synopsis
NYC 22 follows six diverse NYPD rookies as they patrol the gritty streets of upper Manhattan. The new trainees include Jennifer “White House” Perry, a former college volleyball star and Marine MP in Iraq with a take-charge attitude; Ray “Lazarus” Harper, the oldest rookie and a former police news reporter with better sources than most seasoned cops; Tonya Sanchez, who comes from a family with a criminal history; Ahmad Kahn, an Afghani native who fought his way to freedom; Kenny McClaren, a fourth-generation police officer with great instincts but qualms about joining the force; and Jayson “Jackpot” Toney, a young basketball legend who squandered his opportunity in the NBA. Their demanding Field Training Officer, Daniel “Yoda” Dean, is a case-hardened, unsentimental veteran of the force who emphasizes basics and holds each cop accountable for their actions. Rounding out the team is Sergeant Terry Howard, a no-nonsense plainclothes officer from the Gang Intel Unit, who trains the rookies on how to keep the gangbangers at bay. With unique backgrounds, personalities and reasons for being on the force, the new cops will make their share of rookie mistakes while they figure out how to relate to their boss, each other and the people they swore to protect.

Also, remember to follow me on Twitter for more scoop about shows getting cancelled as NYC22 did.
And they wonder why the networks are in the crapper compared to the cable channel! I LOVED this show. CBS has become NBC- canx shows after only an episode or 2. I am sick of this. I kknow a lot of people who liked it – AND CSI Miami ! They’re saying CSI Miami reruns have higher ratings than a good new show like this? STOOPID!!!!
Loved this show can’t believe it got cancelled!!!!
I HATE THE REALITY SHOWS – WHY ALL THE SHOWS ABOUT GETTING A DATE. I WANT HARRY’S LAW, CSI MIAMI, ETC. I HATE THESE NEW DUMB SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this show. Why are the good “clean” slows the ones cancelled while the junk with all the garbage language stay season after season? Let this show continue at least one more season and then make a decision. I am sure you will be happy you kept it.
i agree with the comment about CBS becoming NBC….NYC was a great show with great promise it was just starting to build up with enjoyable viewing. the cast was wicked awesome and the storyline was a new look into the lifestyle of rookies within the NYPD. im saddened by the thought that i have to find a new program to watch at 10pm on sunday nights. but yippie unforgettable is back, totally being sarcastic. i cant stand that show.
there should be a law requiring networks to keeps shows for at least 1 season im tired of getting into shows then next thing you know its cancelled
