TBS cancels Miracle Workers with Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi

After four unlikely seasons of genre-jumping comedy, TBS has canceled Miracle Workers, The A.V. Club reports.

Miracle Workers was never a ratings juggernaut, but it was hard not to admire its innovative spirit. The show had a high-powered cast led by celebrities like Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi, whose presence probably helped the show last as long as it did. In the first season, Radcliffe played a hapless office worker in heaven while Buscemi played a lazy God. In season 2, Radcliffe was a prince and Buscemi a shitshoveler in the Dark Ages. Season 3 moved things to the old west and season 4 to a post-apocalyptic, Mad Max-inspired wasteland where Radcliffe’s character stripped down to his tighty-whities to fend off a horde of robot marauders.

I don’t know if he’ll ever live down that image. And then there was his drag performance from the third season:

Basically, if you weren’t watching Miracle Workers — and you probably weren’t — you heard about it every once in a while whenever Daniel Radcliffe did something crazy. I’ll miss that.

I’ll miss the show in general; it was fun and inventive, even if it rarely had me in stitches. I liked the idea of the show more than the show itself. Without it, the only scripted series left on TBS is American Dad. All the scripted stuff has moved over the streaming, which is fine, but I think TV is better off with more variety.
