ABC shows predicted to be canceled
Queens – terrible ratings, rookie show
A Million Little Things – terrible ratings, but wouldn’t be shocked if syndication economics kept it alive for another season
ABC shows predicted to be renewed
Big Sky – borderline ratings, but 10pm shows often survive with far lower ratings than other time slots.
Home Economics – borderline ratings, barely leaning towards a renewal prediction
The Goldbergs – highly rated, but old and expensive, cancellation would not be a shock.
The Conners, The Good Doctor, The Wonder Years, The Rookie – would be surprised by cancellation
CBS shows predicted to be canceled
Good Sam – terrible ratings, rookie show
NCIS:LA – when a cast member says it’s over, it’s almost always over.
CBS shows predicted to be renewed
NCIS, Blue Bloods – ratings aren’t a problem, but there is always cancellation danger for these very old, expensive CBS dramas, since their (non-public) syndication deals determine their longevity.
B Positive, United States of Al – One WB Lorre sitcom was renewed (Bob Hearts Abishola), these two were not. Would not be surprised if one of these were canceled.
FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, FBI: International, Magnum, PI, SWAT, Equalizer, NCIS: Hawaii – would be surprised by cancellation
CW shows predicted to be canceled
I won’t be surprised to see several cancellations, but impossible for me to predict which shows.
CW shows predicted to be renewed
Batwoman, Nancy Drew, Legends of Tomorrow, Dynasty, In the Dark, Legacies, Riverdale, Roswell, NM, Walker, All American, Superman & Lois, 4400, Naomi, All American: Homecoming – The CW is for sale! I’ve got no idea how that might effect the decisions that CBS & WB Studios make on their shows, but I’ll predict they renew them all, and take a few L’s on the shows they’ll inevitably cancel.
Fox shows predicted to be canceled
Pivoting – terrible ratings.
Fox shows predicted to be renewed
Call Me Kat – terrible ratings. Predicting renewal only on the guess that Fox won’t completely wipe out all their existing live action sitcoms.
The Resident, 9-1-1, 9-1-1:Lonestar, The Cleaning Lady – would be surprised by cancellation
NBC shows predicted to be canceled
Grand Crew– terrible ratings, rookie show
The Endgame – third episode ratings fell into the woeful range
Kenan– ratings went too low for a sophomore show renewal
NBC shows predicted to be renewed
American Auto – borderline ratings, but currently the highest rated of this year’s low rated NBC sitcoms
Law & Order: OC, Law & Order – would be surprised by cancellation
