The TV landscape is changing fast.

Tonight may be the final episode of “Young Rock.” Dwayne Johnson’s comedy about his early years has never caught on with viewers.

This is the end of season 3, which had 1.4 million average per episode. NBC owns the show so they’ve let it drift on, but by now the show is in a headlock. Johnson just thanked fans on Twitter, basically saying goodbye.

Meanwhile ABC is finally burying “The Goldbergs.” George Segal died, Jeff Garlin left, no one really knew the show was still on. But since those two events there was zero need to watch it. I guess “The Goldbergs” will rattle into syndication as a cure for insomnia. They treated Garlin very badly, Good riddance.
