TV shows about love, witches, reality and the law have all been canceled by network TV and cable. The proverbial axe came down last week as the list of Fall's first canceled TV shows was revealed.

The list of TV shows included ABC's "Selfie" and "Manhattan Love Story."

NBC said goodbye to love and drama with "A to Z," and "Bad Judge" (incidentally, there was more drama offscreen than on in Kate Walsh's "Bad Judge" -- more on that later).

Also saying goodbye is Fox's reality show "Utopia."

Plus, on Lifetime, the magic ended with the cancellation of "Witches of East End," ending on its second season.

The numbers and reviews do not lie when it comes to the end of a network TV show. ABC has not ordered any additional episodes of "Selfie" after its 13-episode run. "Selfie" partnering with "Manhattan Love Story" did not help either show, Entertainment Weekly reported. The show averaged at almost 5 million viewers, and a 1.5 rating among the coveted 18-49 age demographic.

"Selfie's" idea came from the play "Pygmalion," which also sparked the 1964 film "My Fair Lady," starring Audrey Hepburn. Karen Gillan played Eliza Dooley who was subjected to an embarrassing viral video that destroyed her personal and work life. Dooley then hired John Cho's character, Henry, to revamp her image.

Some reviewers liked "Selfie" after its first episode, but it was mocked heavily on social media. Unfortunately, "Selfie" makes a second cancellation for the show's creator Emily Kapnek. Kapnek created the ABC comedy drama "Suburgatory" in 2011, and it too was canceled after three seasons.

Similar to Kapnek's agony, ABC's "Manhattan Love Story" suffered as the lead into "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." This romantic comedy followed a couple, played by Jake McDorman and Analeigh Tipton, who were set up on a blind date. The twist was that the audience got to listen to everything that the couple said in their heads.

"Manhattan Love Story" premiered to 4.7 million viewers, but by the latest episode only around 3 million people were watching. And, it went from a 1.5 rating to a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demo, Business Insider reported.

No love for NBC's "A to Z" and "Bad Judge" either.

"A to Z," also a romantic comedy, has already shot 11 episodes; "Bad Judge" is one episode show shy of the rom-com, equaling to 10 episodes. NBC has confirmed that they will not be ordering any more episodes beyond that, according to one report. "A to Z" was planned to follow the love and relationship of one couple from start to finish and starred Ben Feldman and Cristin Milioti from "How I Met Your Mother" fame.

"Bad Judge" was about a tough party loving judge. The drama behind the scenes sounded better than the show. The pilot had undergone numerous transformations, so much so that some of the previews and images did not look like the same show, according to Business Insider.

Then the show was pulled from New York Paley Fest, and two days later the showrunner -- Liz Brixius -- left because of "creative differences." And, Walsh is now reportedly nvolved with a legal dispute with her ex-managers over commission from the show.

"Bad Judge" debuted to 4 million viewers but with a 0.9 rating in the 18-49 demo group. "A to Z" had 2.6 million viewers and a 0.7 rating, Entertainment Weekly reported.

Speaking of bad pairings, Lifetime's "Witches of East End" and the freshman show "The Lottery" did not help one another. Both shows had low numbers during the summer run. "The Lottery," a dystopian drama, took place in a world where women had suddenly stopped having children, until one day scientists discover they could fertilize 100 embryos and embarked on a national lottery to choose the surrogates.

The outlandish plot of "The Lottery" did not grow among its audiences.

Meanwhile, "Witches of East End" -- about the all female family of witches -- debuted with 1.1 million viewers, Deadline reported. The witch show was down 42 percent since the show premiered last year. Unfortunately, "The Lottery" equaled that number.

As for Fox's reality show "Utopia," it stalled before it even started. The show was based on a Dutch TV series with the same name. It was like "Big Brother" but outdoors and collected 15 people in an attempt to create a civilization that could either end in harmony or chaos. The reality show was chaos in the ratings and not watched by many.
