I know I'm missing some and that it's not a Fox exclusive thing... It's just that they seem to have a habit of doing it more often than most other networks.

All those shows pretty much had horrid ratings and low ad buy rates by advertisers, so really not surprised by Fox cancelling those. Of those above, Fringe was an interesting case in our biz, while live ratings where bad, the + DVR ratings were good, but hard to pitch to advertisers with low live viewing rates and only so much in-show sponsorship space, being on the WB end, we produced the show but sold airing rights to Fox, we weren't shocked when Fox pulled it from their schedule and with those ratings numbers, no other network was interested in making space on their schedule. I understand it sucks for fans, I was a big fan of Gang Related and Fox canned that, but really hard to justify the numbers.
Caught Gotham, thought it was ok, Bruce Wayne parts were annoying, I think its the kid actor that annoyed me. Gotham is another WB produced show picked up by Fox, hopefully it'll have a better fate than Fringe.
