According to this report, the NBC lineup started seeing changes physically last week when it chose not to air two hours of The Cape, which it has decided to cancel, which based off my initial thoughts of the show was not a surprise.
I am a bit conflicted though as I was starting to take a bit of interest in the series, albeit solely for the quality of the villains, who were creatively designed and nicely executed on screen. The biggest mistake this show and network made right from the beginning was in the overly generic name of the character/series, The Cape. I know he had a fancy cape, but Batman had a fancy belt full of gadgets too and he was not named after that.
Granted, there are still a few episodes I have not yet caught up on via Hulu, but I am planning to watch them and absolutely applaud NBC for allowing the show, which they cut the episode order down of initially before outright cancelling, to have a series finale.

On a related note, The Event returns with episode 11 tonight on NBC. I stopped watching about midseason, but have been catching up on the missed episodes (Hulu) after hearing that part of the new story development is that the 'aliens' were actually previously on earth before the current human race - or something to that effect. Anyway, I figure I will give the show another chance to win me over.
They also deserve credit for giving the show additional time to rework the final episode which was supposed to air with the show that aired last week. Unfortunately, the news isn’t all that great for fans as the finale will only be available online, even though the network has plenty of dead hours in which it airs repeats that it could use.
