Renew/Cancel Odds for TV Shows Still on the Bubble

by Jason Dietz, Metacritic Features Editor – March 10, 2016

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).

The freshman comedy is not only the network's highest-rated new show, it is also the #3 show on the network, period (behind only The Big Bang Theory and NCIS). The network still hasn't quite found an appropriate place for it in its lineup (stylistically, it doesn't quite fit with other CBS fare), but It will almost certainly return.
