I actually think it works better on Screwed by the Network. It's specifically showing a network higher-up cancelling a show in spite of it being a hit, whereas Too Good to Last is a bit broader than that.

I find that the emphasis is far more on the show being good than it is being cancelled by an exec.

My read of the definitions is completely opposite to 7, as Too Good to Last is when the show is canceled despite being a hit with the audience, while Screwed by the Network is when the show has any number of detrimental things done to it to satisfy corporate demands for the network as a whole, with cancellation only being one of them. The latter could actually be a Sister Trope or even subtrope of the former.

[up]It could go either way, really. The image shows both a show getting axed despite being good and popular, as well as a an exec specifically shooting it down.

This one is just about at the clocking point, and since there haven't been any suggestions made for either page, I've hooked a crowner on the decision of which page the dupe pic should be pulled from.

The votes haven't shifted on this one; calling it for removing the pic on Screwed by the Network.

The pic's been removed and the page is tagged. Locking up.
