Which of your favorite network TV shows are locks to return, and which are consigned to the heap of canceled series?
USA TODAY has your intel as part of our exclusive 28th annual Save Our Shows survey, which asks you to vote on which of 17 sitcoms and dramas hovering on the brink between renewal and cancellation deserve another season.
The list is weighted toward still-unproven freshmen shows such as ABC’s “Doctor Odyssey” and Tim Allen comedy “Shifting Gears,” NBC’s “Brilliant Minds” and “Suits LA” and Fox’s “Rescue: Hi-Surf.” But it also includes longer-running shows like CBS’ “The Equalizer,” Fox’s “The Cleaning Lady” (which just began its current season) and NBC’s “Night Court” revival. (Check the lists below, then vote for your favorites here:)
And the four major networks weren’t shy about planning exits of long-running series including CBS’ “Blue Bloods,” ABC’s “The Conners,” CBS’ “S.W.A.T.” (canceled for a third time) and Fox’s “9-1-1: Lone Star.”
Polls close later this month, and the results will be revealed in early May just as the networks make their final decisions about which shows will make the grade and which won’t, as they set their schedules for the 2025-26 TV season.
