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).
NBC's decision to make Undateable primetime television's first all-live series in nearly 25 years failed to translate into higher ratings. In fact, its numbers were worse than they were last season. Still, NBC has already renewed the comedy twice before despite unimpressive ratings, and some experts aren't quite willing to rule out a fourth season—even if it would be one of the lowest-rated programs ever to earn a renewal.
