cancellation bear

Originally used by TvByTheNumbers, the "cancellation bear" is the theory that TV shows are only in real danger of being cancelled if they're the lowest performers, much like the slowest in a group of people would get mauled by a bear.
I love Parks and Rec. I hope the cancellation bear is out to get Whitney so Parks gets renewed!
