?? How about Ghost Whisperer, Medium, Moonlight, Jericho

True but they probably went 'HELL NO, never again!' after. Hence why they'll keep on churning spin offs of spin offs and tons more procedurals.

Thanks for the info! Going to be on pins and needles over Community and Fringe and Chuck for another 2 months I guess!

Yeah I hate waiting for news of a shows renewal or demise and love when we get news early but most networks wait till May to tell us

Those are my three worries as well, though I would add The Chicago Code to that too.

I wouldn't be devastated if Chuck got canceled. Love the show but we got 3 more seasons then anyone thought and long seasons to boot, as long as it has a proper ending I will be happy.

But I would be devastated if Community and/or Fringe got canceled.

Yeah now it seems that Fringe and Chicago Code are fighting each other for a renewal which I would rather Fringe win but hope both come back next season.

Fox ordered like 15 pilots so I will be curious to see how many return next season. I may only be watching Raising Hope when the dust settles.

How I Met Your Mother has reportedly been renewed for 2 seasons.

Which of course is 1 traditional TV season - but this seems to be sort of a no-brainer. If I were CBS I'd renew Survivor Ad-Infinitum, even if I had to move it to Saturdays, just to keep someone else from snagging it.

Yeah 2 games 1 TV season. Yeah I would try to keep it away from other channels as long as I could as it seems nothings slowing this show down.

That's cause it stays awesome every season. Redemption Island is AWESOME.

I dropped off from about Season 5 to ALL STARS then again to HEROES vs VILLAINS. I've been watching it since. It is among the most tolerable reality style programs.

[Gamma_Winstead]

I think it's probably the best reality series. It's very addictive. Some bad seasons, sure. But when it's good, it's REALLY GOOD.

Really hoping that Perfect Couples and Outsourced get picked up. I see potential in both shows, PC more than OS though. OS is easily comparable to The Office in many ways. PC on the other hand reminds me of the different stages of a relationship/marriage every time I watch it.

Perfect Couples has no chance at renewal. It's ratings have been horrible. In addition at least 2 of the show's leads are starring in new pilots, and while they have second position to PC it's still highly unlikely they would have gotten the pilots if there was a realistic shot at PC returning. In addition 1 of those stars is doing a pilot with the same production company as PC and for NBC. That production company wouldn't be taking a star from 1 of their current shows if the show had a chance at renewal.

I'd be surprised if Outsourced returned. It's ratings haven't been great, especially since it got moved to a later time slot. It's unlikely NBC would keep more than 4 of their current comedies and with The Office and 30 Rock returning that leaves (at most) 2 slots for Community, Outsourced, and Parks and Rec. Community has consistent ratings in a brutal time slot, and Parks and Rec has done comparable to Outsourced in the post-Office time slot, and both Community and Parks and Rec get favorable reviews, so I'd guess Outsourced won't get picked up. It is possible that fewer than 4 comedies return based on how NBC's comedy pilots look.
