Renew/Cancel Odds for TV Shows Still on the Bubble
We are now two months away from TV's upfronts, when the broadcast networks announce their schedules for next season—and, with them, the final fates of all of their current programs. At this point, ABC is alone among the major networks in announcing renewals for the bulk of its current slate, while NBC has renewed a handful of programs. Many shows on the other networks (and even a few on ABC and NBC) remain on the bubble.
To determine which of those shows look safe, and which are in danger of cancellation, we have surveyed a variety of experts. Below, browse the resulting renew/cancel odds for 40 scripted shows still on the bubble (listed in alphabetical order).
Easily the best new show in Fox's 2015-16 lineup, The Grinder is also the lowest-rated (aside from the effectively canceled Minority Report and soon to be canceled Second Chance). And its already low ratings actually got worse after a scheduling change left Brooklyn Nine-Nine—seemingly a natural fit—as its lead-in. Don't expect The Grinder to grind on past this spring.
