NBC pulls the plug on Powerless

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Deadline is reporting that NBC has pulled Powerless from its schedule, essentially dooming the sitcom to cancellation. Though the DC Comics-backed show had a choice time slot—8:30 p.m. ET on Thursdays, after Superstore—and an all-star cast that included Vanessa Hudgens, Danny Pudi, Alan Tudyk, Ron Funches, and more, it never quite found its mark. Audiences didn’t glom on to the show’s high-concept premise, which focused on a witty gang of Wayne Industries co-workers focused on creating gadgets to protect people from superhero-related damage; the show debuted with a “soft” 1.1 million live viewers (3.1 million, all told) and remained static after that.
