I never understand the networks doing this sort of thing. They already have the episodes "in the can". They are only showing repeats in its place. So why not just air the last 2 episodes? I get they felt the need to not make another season, but it just feels like spite to not air the last 2 of the current season.

Unlike most here, I enjoyed the show. I liked the idea more than the execution, but it was improving.

Bummer. I've grown to like this weird comedy.

Opportunity Cost. The episodes are sunk cost. But they can lose less money on advertising by replacing it with a better show that gets better rates from advertisers and/or has higher viewership.

Or so I guess.

Yes, my understanding is that repeats of other shows were getting better ratings than new episodes of "Powerless", unfortunately.

My guess is that they burn off the last two episodes this summer or make them available On Demand.

Nice seeing Adam West one last time. I thought he looked good.
Vanessa's doppelganger was played by her sister Stella.
