Upfronts week has come and gone, and that means broadcast networks have canceled many a show to make room for their newly-ordered series. But not every program that got the ax went out with bad Nielsen numbers. And then, of course, there are the series that had planned endings, like “Gotham” and “The Big Bang Theory,” the latter of which boasts some of the most impressive ratings of any show currently on TV.
