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.
If CBS sticks to its previous target of 5-6 renewals among its first-year shows, Superior Donuts would appear to be right on the cusp as the 6th of those shows. So its future may depend on the strength of the network's comedy pilots. The show's ratings have dropped a bit since its premiere in February, though they are still comparable to those for fellow Monday night comedies 2 Broke Girls and Man With a Plan.
