BrainDead and American Gothic were the only two new series put into production for summer releases at CBS, so it is somewhat strange that both of them would get axed so quickly. CBS is a network known for bringing in massive audiences for stalwart hits like NCIS and The Big Bang Theory, so perhaps the lower turnouts for the freshman series were below even the minimum expectations, thus cementing their fates.
