Isn’t this way too premature? I don’t understand why you are even starting your predictions when shows haven’t even been on a month.
If that! Click-bait. (Got me though :) )
They always do it around this time of year last years (2015 for the 2015-2016 season) was posted mid-October if I remember correctly
It’s not like it used to be, if ratings aren’t at a certain point, networks don’t keep shows around. It’s not too early.
Networks are way, way more patient now than they were 6 or 7 years ago. CBS may be the exception. Fox used to yank a show mid-run and you’d have to go hunting for unaired episodes, and they almost never do that anymore, ABC has gotten better with that as well, and The CW is exceptionally patient compared with UPN and The WB.
I can’t believe that Grimm is not coming back, you don’t need writers, that had so many good story lines that could have been pursued. They could at least moved it to SYFY. Every one of them were being into much deeper characters. The show started with the Captains role being tied to Europe and the Royal Families. Nick’s mom had to hide the coins, so they were still out there. And TRUBLE…She was so good as a Grimm, more like Nick’s Mom was.Adeline’s mother was a good side character, so there could be more Hexinbeasts, causes around Portland. You put HEROES on Monday night. That is where Grimm should have been put. If that is a larger marked. I found out that Nelson controlst he whole thing. I am much closer to Gainseville ,but have to get Orlando chanells, because Nielsen said that all of Marion county had to be marketed though Orlando. I wrote my Senator,he contacted the Fcc and told him tough luck buddy. This is just like political parties set the boundaries of who votes where..
I know, I love that show, can’t believe it. They need to rethink this and put it back on
I totally agree that Grimm was the best show. I can’t believe the stuff that stays on and Grimm gets axed.
I agree. Fun show
I agree. GRIMM should be renewed!
I’m going to die with this one. I love the show and I hope that they will do a spinoff show from the original show and pursue your dreams.
Grimm is already cancelled with great ending. I loved the show as well but it did it justice.
I completely agree.There are SO many shows on tv that I can’t even IMAGINE anyone ever watching…..really stupid shows..and they get renewed.This one required you to pay attention…had great actors..and I wouldn’t have missed it for anything….even bought all the seasons so I could replay the prior seasons at the beginning of the new season so I didn’t get lost.They had MILES of material to use for story lines.
Grimm was one of the best well written, well acted shows in a long time. It stood out among all the garbage that is on. I can’t imagine anyone being interested in all those ignorant, boring show out there that stay on and on and on!
I agree 100% that the good ones get axed and the stupid ones stay. There’s no justice
I agree Grimm was a great show
Grimm needs to come back… They replaced it with a show that is going to be somewhat like it but more zombie, vampire. That was one of the reasons why I they were saying they were taking it off we it was gross unrealistic… I am a Grimm lover so much more they could had done with this show!!!
Amen I agree I hate almost all the net works any more
You are right about Grimm. Best show on.
They do the scorecard relatively early, that way us AusHoles can keep track early. Some shows go QUICK. Remember Emilys Reasons Why Not? Me neither.
Inevitably some or a chunk of new shows will be gone in a matter of weeks, if not days. It’s not too early for many of those shows, and also how early it is makes a game of watching things slide from sure things to safe bets to gone…just have fun with it or you know, wait to read the post for a month or two :)
The page is going to be running all season long, so might as well create it with the start of the season. To early to put much stock in the predictions yet, though, for sure.
First cancellations will start any day now. Networks are so quick to pull the plug anymore, that if a show doesn’t show some promise after 3 or 4 episodes, it’s gone. It’s really not too early.
We had the first cancellation already
If you were paying attention, you would see that my original comment was made in October. Long before the first cancellations started rolling in.
LaDonna is spot on about promise after 3-4 episodes. Like your common sense comment.
I know and it is obsured! Why can’t they give them better shots. Sometimes people don’t even know they exist until a few episodes in or even until the 2nd season then they binge watch the first season. People have their favorite shows which usually come before new shows so they tend not to know about them right away until they hear about it from someone or see an ad for it especially if they normally don’t watch that particular channel. Keep Quantico, Conviction and Notorious for another season. I think they will do great. They r great shows!! Watch them and u will see for urself! I think shows should at least run for two seasons unless it completely tanks(which means almost no one is watching it!). They need to relax on their standards a little especially with people now a days not watching things on tv as much as they use to and watching more online and on apps like Hulu and Netflix.
I agree they also need to get rid of some of the reality shows that are dumb and makes no sense then you wonder why the other shows don’t get rating.
I agree! They keep these horrendous reality shows (The Bachelor, The whatever Paradise, etc) all extremely stupid and about nothing other than sex but inexpensive so they remain.
Great shows get cancelled because ratings for the night of airings are low…so many are like me…I don’t have time to watch night of but I typically always watch the next day or two. Then you have stations that pull shows from Hulu, like The Blacklist, Quantico, Arrow and The Flash which used to play in Hulu the next day and then I can’t watch until next season since I can’t watch the night of.
Makes no sense…we keep getting more crappy shows because the pull the good ones before they even have time to be seen or they are up against other extremely popular show and they don’t count DVR or HULU counts.
Amen to that!
I totally agree! Why is Big Brother still around? Why has Survivor & Grey’s Anatomy not retired by now? I think those shows have been around for like 20 seasons!?
Exactly .. like who watches the several different versions of Survivor, or the narcissistic Kardashians, or something called Big Brother, while shows with some intelligence are cancelled? I suppose, with all tge crap that’s coming put abput shpw biz, the crappy shows that are renewed are done so because of blackmail.
I just stumbled on to FreeForm, and found Shadow hunters, Stichers , and other great shows!
Me too! Love Shadowhunters!
Shadow Hunters is absolute drek, nothing remotely like the books and far from interesting even on it’s own merits. Nothing but CW wannabe teenage angst and pretty people doing mysterious things. The only mystery is how anyone thinks this is a good program.
I agree! Also I think Ransom and Pure Genius should be brought back for at least a 2nd season. These are all unique shows. I get tired of all the sex shows. I honestly don’t know if networks even read our comments or if we just get to talk to each other.
I’m with you on both Ransom and Pure Genius. I really liked both these shows because they were different, but as usual the shows I get interested in are pulled. I also liked Timeless and Time After Time, but both on different networks were both cancelled. It makes you wonder if you should even start watching anything until it has made the 2nd season and then catch up with Season 1. At least that way you know you haven’t wasted your time getting interested for nothing.
PURE GENIUS WAS MY FAVORITE SHOW!!!!!!
I agree complely i love those two shows give them the chance u gave some of the others like izombie so stupid but got renewed
I agree; I’m devestated!
Pure Genius was my favorite and I was looking forward to seeing where they were going with it! Ransom was a good show as well and I was just getting into it!
Timeless isn’t canceled.
I totally agree. But in todays world Sex Sells. I love Pure Genius! I love how they help people that have given up. But just cause no one is taking their clothes off and tonguing someone down.. They call it bad t v
Loved loved loved pure genius it needs to come back also timeless
The networks don’t care what we think. They pretend they do; they tell us they do, but they really don’t. They play whatever crap they’re told to play. Like I said in an earlier post, with all the stuff going on in the entertainment industry, I’m pretty sure, the crappy shows that are renewed, are done so because of blackmail.
Once things start to get canceled why not start keeping score?
Election watching affected everything for many people. Not me . Watched and on
DVR every week.
I agree. That show’s a goofy hoot all the way. I love it.
Secerets and Lies should get a chance and be picked up for another season !!!
Agreed
agreed
Yes….that show was really good. Even my teen daughter loved thst show.
Agree!
I agree loved that show. Makes u think why watch anything on reg tv might as well just watch netflix
My husband didn’t watch season one but started watching season two and really liked it and you should try to bring it back
I’ve been trusting this list less and less every year. I know scream queens isnt the same as last year, but i still die laughing every week. KEEP SCREAM QUEENS!
One of the categories is “Too early to tell.”
The renewal scorecard is a year-round feature.
I hope Scream Qeens gets renewed. I know it didn’t do well in ratings, but it’s still a great show.
I agree
Also, how come stupid OUAT is a ”safe bet” when they’ve been saying for a months that show is on the bubble?
#It’sTimeToCancelOUAT
I keep looking for Timeless and don’t see it.
Third-to-last listing on the NBC page: https://tvline.com/2016/10/03/renewed-tv-shows-2017-renewal-scorecard-cancelled-series/4/
I was so disappointed to hear Timeless was canceled. Very different and enjoyable show gone.
Please renew Blindspot, Taken, Timeless, and the Blacklist Redemption….really good actors and great shows, give them a chance. The Good Place and Superstore should be canceled, not renewed.
They uncancelled it.
It’s May, so now it makes sense. Too bad there isn’t a way to read the newest comments first.
How come Supergirl was only a safe bet instead of a sure thing when Supergirl was getting better ratings than Arrow and Supernatural?
What about Braindead on CBS? Silly but fun.
Agreed. I think it may be “essentially cancelled” but any new info would be greatly appreciated.
i think is not going to be there, i think it might be the blindsided show.
I would love a season 2!! Braindead was a great show.
Totallyagree, loved Braindead. Original and showed the foolishness that is our government.
Already cancelled did you read all of article?
Most shows haven’t premiered yet in the fall but you’re already predicting whether they’ll return next year?
Shouldn’t you wait until early next year for predictions?
I love these renewal score cards but always find them hard to read. Would you consider grouping the series by “category” under each network with headings for your 8 bullet items: Too Close to Call, Safe Bet, etc.? When a shows’s status changes, the show just moves from one grouping to another. (The prior status can remain as you do it today, with a strikeout, when you move the show.)
.
This would make it SO much easier to see status at a glance: “oh, Fox canceled 3 shows already”, or “oh, NBC has 6 shows on the bubble”. This would be a lot easier for this reader (me) and hopefully many others, so I hope you consider it…
I disagree completely. Most people are looking for specific shows. Your way, they’d have to search through each category until they found their show. This way you go to the network, then find the show right away. Much easier!
Drew, very good idea. That would make it much easier to extract useful data. Also, when a show changes categories(strikethrough, lighter shade text), the date of the change and the new category should show on the same line. For consistency, so that every listing has a date, shows currently in a category, should show the date they entered.
This way we can see “3 networks cancelled 8 shows within a 2 day period”.
opus, it will still remain just as easy to find the specific show you are looking for. You will still go to the network, then scan down the list for the specific show you are looking for. Just ignore the category headings and any strikethrough text.
Wasn’t NCIS renewed for 2 seasons?
YES
It was renewed through season 15. Season 14 premiered this year.
Why does CBS have Good Wife spin off and not Star Trek Discovery ?
I thought Star Trek was on Netflix? Or did I read Netflix would distribute it then stopped caring as I don’t have traditional cable?
CBS online. I don’t think they’re doing the scorecard for Internet releases
That was the point, Good Wife spin off & Star Trek are both on CBS All Access
so it’s both or neither but only one seems weird !
I think they’re showing the first episode of Good Wife spin off on the CBS network as well as CBS all access, maybe that’s why it’s on this list with the * beside it.
The premier date has been moved.
CW: Significant Mother. Yes, it’s from last year, but its fate is still listed as “on hiatus/TBD” at other sites so I would love an update!
.
(I may have been one of the few, but I really enjoyed this show for it’s simplistic charms and the often nearly-nude Nathaniel Buzolic.)
Why is Timeless left off of NBC’s list?
DOA……jk, I noticed that also. Probably just an oversight.
Timeless IS listed under NBC–see third from bottom of list.
Imagine about changing the past and the outcome the future would currrently be. Kennedy would have stopped the Vietnam war and so on.
11.22.63 explored that. It was VERY interesting.
It is on there as a Long Shot. I really like it. I wasn’t going to watch it, but decided to online. Will miss it, if it is cancelled.
I hate that it’s labeled as ‘A Long Shot’. I really enjoy it. The cast has great chemistry, and they are just starting to dive into the big mystery of the show.
True, true, I enjoy it very much, as well. Braindead was excellent, as well, with all of its social and political sattire, criticism, and wit!
I am also enjoying Timeless. I really hope it isn’t cancelled.
It would really be a shame if NBC cancels Timeless. My wife and I started power watching the show during the holidays and stuck with the show through the remainder of the 1st season. We ended up getting hooked. It is a wonderful show with a great cast. The chemistry of the main characters is perfect and the concept of time travel and the ability to change both the past and the future is fascinating. We LOVE this show and truly hope NBC will not base their decision solely on ratings. It would be a huge disappointment, especially after we ended up getting wrapped up in the show.
I agree, I caught up with the episodes, very interesting, not ridiculous like the Good Place and Superstores, you can be entertained and learn history too!!!
Timeless is up in the air, it might not be renewed. It’s on the list though.
i dont see to tell the truth where is that
why is Designated Survivor and Speeachless listed as too early to tell? it got the full season pick up
The list is for shows renewed for next season. The pick-ups were for this season only… so far.
Blue Bloods could go either way? I thought that their ratings were really good…please advise…
That could be because Tom Selleck only resigned for one season and may want to see how he feels next year. Just a thought,…………………………..
It 100% depends on whether Selleck wants to continue… He has to fly in to shoot the show where as all the other actors pretty much live around NY anyway… makes you wonder if it’ll continue long enough for Danny’s kids to grow up and want to be policemen.. not sure if it’ll make it that far.. The CBS shows on Friday skew older but that’s who’s home watching TV…
If you have caught any of Tom’s guest appearances on talk shows, he is all in for doing more of Blue Bloods. The too early to tell is TVLine hesitating to commit itself; nothing else.
Don’t forget Harry’s Law that had high ratings, but not in the demo. Drat, love them both.
Omg, loved Harry’s Law!
Loved Harry’s Law too. Networks don’t try to put their good shows up against bad shows on other networks like they use to. I hate reality t.v. because it is not real it is fake. Who cares. What needs to stay on is Code Black! Great cast and very realistic. Characters are good…older experiences cast and there is good tension. Just a great show. Pure Genius is another very good show. Good strong acting. Good stories. These two are probably gone but Superior Donuts stays??!! Stupid tired comedy. There is more trash on television than on trash pick up day.
I saw an interview with Meryl Streep, years ago, and she slid by a quick sentence observation of reality shows, “All the lines go up at the end.” (indicating some kind of training?)
I agree, I like these shows too…can’t believe some of the shows canceled.
Most of FOX’S shows should be it could go either way given how they are struggling. Empire and their cartoons are their only safe bets so far. Gotham should be a safe bet as well but since FOX doesn’t own it I understand its designation. Even though its early in the season you never know when a network will pull the plug on a show
I just realized that 80% of the shows I watch are on the CW.
You all do realize this is the post that gets updated throughout the TV year, not just a one-time post looking into a crystal ball. They refer to this post (the yellow link up in the very top) whenever anyone asks about a shows status.
Already? Wow!
What about Whose Line is it Anyway?? Has it been renewed for next summer??
can you please revise the Cable scorecard and remove a good chunk of the shows that have been cancelled for more than 2 years?
I don’t understand why everyone is saying that Notorious is dead. It’s doing low 1s, which is what all of Thursday’s scripted fare are doing except Grey’s, which is doing better, and Rosewood, which is doing worse. Plus, isn’t it a lowest man on the totem pole type thing? A number of ABC shows still have to premiere. I know that these days shows can get cancelled quickly, but ABC historically takes their time with these decisions. Also, Notorious didn’t go down in week 2, which almost all new shows do. So I don’t get why we’re all giving up on it.
I just started watching and love it! Hope it doesn’t get cancelled. Although it reminds me of their other failed attempts like Into the Deep and Off The Map.
Couldn’t agree more. Love this show. Quantico is on the bubble too. Bummer!! All the good shows get taken away. I loved mistresses too and they left that on a cliff hanger. Not happy
Yeah, me to. I just came into this page trying to find out when a new episode would be arriving in my dvr. sad. I hope it comes back.
They must fail to realize Thurs is football night
I thought that the good wife spinoff was supposed to be online only.
It said it will go to online CBS All Acess. I guess it will premier on TV then go online. Get you hooked then make you pay extra for it.
My Diet is Better than Yours?
Still in mourning for Grimm :(
At least we get an ending and they didn’t just cancel it. Glass half full.
Me too!!! But I agree, at least the way they did it allowed the writers to end it properly and not a cliff hanger
Oh I love Grimm . I wish they would move it to another night and try it . I am so upset over that one and I don’t watch many shows on NBC now and after Grimm I want be watching anything that I can think of ,
I love Grimm, too. Wish they wouldn’t cancel it. Try to do whatever it takes to keep it on
I love Grimm and I am so upset that they are taking it off it has a lot more years it could run also I am a big Supernatural fan on CW channel and it is in its 12th yr and already renewed for season 13 and if it can run that long then Grimm could to I am blaming NBC for it being cancelled I am hoping with enough comments CW might pick it up and I cant think of much that i watch on NBC so they will go to bottom of my list for watching
Agreed!
I’m surprised you didn’t list ‘Man With a Plan’ as ‘likely cancellation’ based on what people are saying about it. ;)
That The Family dig was tres harsh!
I wish the CW would pick up Grimm. There are a lot of us out here that love it. It is at least original and I am always glad to see Supernatural that is always fresh and is always great!!!Thanks ‘CW’ for getting it!!!
Why would the CW do that? Grimm is neither a CBS Television or a Warner Bros. Television produced show.
Yes me and my dauughter love grimm
Couldn’t agree more. Love this show. Quantico is on the bubble too. Bummer!! All the good shows get taken away. I loved mistresses too and they left that on a cliff hanger. Not happy
Me too! That would be cool! Supernatural and Grimm should have a cross over!
Wow the preview copies that bad eh?
Yeah I suspected such.
