   What about Off Their Rockers on NBC?

   Ratios of cancelled to renewed shows:

   ABC: 14/6
   CBS: 13/2
   CW: 6/3
   FOX: 10/7
   NBC: 10/10

   Looking at it this way, the best networks are:
   1. CBS
   2. CW
   3. ABC
   4. FOX
   5. NBC
   Since this is clearly not the case, this can be done differently;
   New shows, Renewed or cancelled?:

   ABC: 6/7
   CBS: 2/2
   CW: 1/2
   FOX: 2/4
   NBC: 4/8

   Most improved:
   1. CBS
   2. ABC
   3. Tied CW, FOX, and NBC
   This is interesting… I expect CW and FOX to fall below NBC due to the impending cancellations of LAC and Napoleon Dynamite. Also, when Unforgettable and Rob get cancelled, CBS will slip below ABC.
   So ABC will have had the best improvement, and The CW and FOX the worst.

   @Nick
   RoE will get renewed because at the end of this season it will have 1 eposode left until syndication.

   I don’t think one episode will make much of a difference in Sony’s ability to sell the show into syndication.

   That said, I expect CBS will renew it for either a full season or as a replacement if they expand their comedy hours. It’s unlikely they’ll pick up five sitcoms given the buzz about their pilots.

   I haven’t heard anything from NBC about unscripted renewals (except for The Voice, obviously, due to auditions for the fall). They will probably just wait until and announce them with their schedule.

   I’d be suprised if Off Their Rockers isn’t back though. It did well and has very low production costs. Makes it perfect as a replacement show.

   @Zach
   Off their Rockers is an unscripted show, and Robert only keeps track of unscripted shows as they are hard to predict.
   OTR has not been cancelled or renewed yet, but it probably will be. Here’s an article:

   Also, prospects look good as OTR’s episode order was increased:

   I expect RoE will get a Fringe-like 13 episode final season.

    So ABC will have had the best improvement, and The CW and FOX the worst.

    Which fits with the general impression people have had this season.

    ABC has had its best freshman class since 2004-05 (although their fall 2009 sitcom premieres were exceptional as well).

    The CW’s freshman class was atrocious.

    FOX had a poor showing with its freshman dramas, but overall I think they did fine. New Girl is their best freshman comedy in a long time and The X Factor pulled really good numbers, even if they were below the lofty expectations.

    I’m completely mystified that Bent was cancelled and Whitney was saved. How is that possible?

    @morningtvwatcher,

    30 Rock flopped hard this year.

    @Ultima,

    I wasn’t surprised by renewal of both or either Hart of Dixie and Nikita, or the cancellation of The Secret Cricle, but felt this was the general consensus.

    [Still can’t believe that DH will bid goodbye tommorow :’(]

    Tomorrow? I can’t beleive it’s here already.

    Why is this list only for scripted show? There are a lot of us waiting on pins and needles to read if American Idols is coming back? Survivor? The Amazing Race? Please help us reality show fans out!

    Been a really great year for me, all things considered. Every single one of my shows got renewed, other than Alcatraz and Secret Circle, and to be fair neither one of them is a massive loss for me. Both were great premises but lost their way very quickly. Secret Circle had improved towards the end but clearly not enough.

    And the even better news for me is that short of a currently successful show collapsing in the ratings next season, I’ve got very little to worry about regarding cancellation next year too. The only bubble shows I watch are Fringe (ending no matter what), Nikita (a show that will be only a season away from syndication numbers) and Touch… okay, that one I’ll probably still need to worry about…

    All the rest of my shows though, both network and cable, have been doing well enough for me to not have to worry about them ending before their time. Kinda like that feeling.

    The best renewals were Whitney and Nikita.
