Working the Engels… no longer is.
NBC has cancelled the Canadian-made family/legal comedy, pulling it from the schedule after just five episodes.

Engels’ Canadian broadcaster Global TV, meanwhile, is not expected to order any half-hours beyond its already aired 12-episode first season.
NBC will double-up on the Greg Poehler-created Welcome to Sweden — which was already renewed for Season 2 — on Thursdays at 9/8c, to fill Engels‘ void.
Fellow Peacock network summer shows The Night Shift and Undateable received pick-ups for a second run, while the jury is still out on Taxi Brooklyn.
cute, but this isnt surprising
Taxi Brooklyn is only NBC show I am watching.
This was a thing?
Taxi Brooklyn is also the only summer show I’ve been watching on NBC.
Andrea Martin is such a funny, charming woman–it’s so frustrating that she can’t seem to find a well-written vehicle in which to display her talents. The fact that anyone at the network thought this show had any redeeming qualities whatsoever amazes me. Then again, I feel the same about the Sweden show–but with Amy Poehler behind it, the network is supporting it anyway, which is a shame.
I didn’t even know this was a show , thats bad marketing on NBC’s part
Don’t see the point in not showing the rest of the episodes, it had it’s cute moment’s
First time I hear of this show then it gets cancelled. Ooookay. I like Kacey Rohl because of Hannibal.
Told ya ! it was so beige and dull as dishwasher . It had to go.
Canada’s five-week long embarrassment is finally over! I was embarrassed to have it airing here, but to foist on you guys? That’s no way to treat friends. ;-)
At least Welcome to Sweden is way better than WTE. Still worried about the fate of Taxi Brooklyn.
The Night Shift and Undateable were two of my favorite shows this summer. I can’t wait for them to come back for their second seasons. Too bad it will be a long wait.
I’ve never even heard of this show…
I know a lot about TV but I’ve NEVER heard about this show. That’s saying something.
Engels was a quirky, guilty pleasure comedy but I found that refreshing and like many others I had a tv-crush on Kacey Rohl (“Jenna”). Hope the cast lands successfully elsewhere.
I have never heard of this show before today… not even here on TVline, as far as I know.
