Which [new] shows will be cancelled?

Richard Dower

I'm really quite interested to see which shows get axed, and when....i firmly belive that Lone Star will die a bad death tomorrow in the ratings, might get under 3 million. For Fox this is a major embarrasement, they don't want to be seen as the first network to axe a show.

My guess is they'll move it to Fridays and it'll fulfil it's 13 episode order...this way Fox saves faces. I'm very very interested to see how The Event does over the next few weeks, if it drops this upcoming week and how Undercovers does.

These are the three main [and most interesting] suspects.

They just started!

Every show needs a few episodes to establish itself.

Ratings dictate EVERYTHING!....good ratings = renewal, bad ratings = cancellation. If you're a fan of a particular shows ratings keep bringing you more episodes.

S.M.B.

But you love over analysing the ratings for EVERY show.

How did Top Model do this week? Still doing the best in terms of CW shows?

Lonstsar would fair better on another network imo like ABC it seems likely it will be first for the chop

Magic Eight Ball

What's the story with the 'V' reboot, is it still hanging in there?
I gave up on it after about 5 episodes and watched the original series on dvd.

What do production companies do when they've spent millions of dollars an months of time making a seies only for it to get canned after an hour? You'd imagine there'd be a place in someone's schedules for every half-decent series.

At least the US have balls to cancel a show after a couple of shows.. Here they show it till the end remember the 6 weeks of the english class..

An angsty new drama at ABC became the second casuality of the 2010-11 TV season today. ABC has confirmed that it put the kibosh on My Generation, an ensemble series about a group of youths who attended a suburban high school together. The drama attracted 5.17 million viewers when it premiered a week ago but dropped to 3.82 million on Thursday.
The network also stopped production on future episodes. For now, it’s unclear how ABC will fill the timeslot.
Earlier this week, Fox’s Lone Star became the first show to get the ax this season. Viewership sank to 3.2 million during its second outing.

The Whole Truth is next, followed by Outlaw...and soon after Undercovers.

It's already been given an additional 6 script order by The CW, scripts...not eps. , but it's a positive sign. It'll get a full 22 ep. order for sure!

I'd say "The Hard Times of RJ Berger". Fun show but didn't get the reaction it was hoping for.

Richard Dower

^ it's already been renewed for a second season!

NBC will burn off the remaining four episodes of Outlaw at 8pm over the next 5 Saturdays.

Looks like Chase and Undercovers could be next. Not really surprising, neither show is a must see. That index does have The Event in the happy smiley category though, which doesn't really stack with it's dwindling ratings.

I expect that Caprica will run out it's remaining episodes, and then no more.

Hard to see Rubicon renewed even though its the best thing on tv in ages.

I reckon the Event is this year's Flashforward, it will not make it past the first season!

Richard Dower

My opinion on Undercovers...it'll get a full season and no more. Abrams commands some clout and they might not wanna piss him off. It's a major embarrasment if UC is axed for NBC and JJ.
