Renew/Cancel Odds for TV Shows Still on the Bubble
At this time last year, there were fewer than 40 broadcast shows still on the bubble. This year? Nearly 70. While The CW has given early pickups to nearly every one of its shows, the other four networks have renewed only a select few, leaving the fates of many series up in the air with less than two months to go before the networks make their 2017-18 schedule announcements.
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 over 60 scripted shows still on the bubble (listed in alphabetical order).
Update 3/23: The show has been renewed.
It's not an especially strong performer for the network, but this reboot of the oft-parodied 1980s action series has one thing in its favor: there are at least five other CBS dramas with far worse numbers. Unless the network decides to clean house (which would be completely out of character), MacGyver should be back.
