UPDATED APRIL 30TH! TV Survival Scorecard: Which shows will return (and which won't)

[Teh One Who Knocks]

by Lynette Rice and James Hibberd - Entertainment Weekly


It’s early to make a ruling on NBC’s The Voice, but those great premiere ratings have us feeling optimistic that the Mark Burnett singing show deserves a spot in the Strong Odds column. We’re also feeling pretty good about a One Tree Hill renewal — but not so for Mad Love. And we’re privately hoping for a cancellation of The Defenders so Jerry O’Connell can be free to replace Charlie Sheen on Two and A Half Men. Crazy, we know — but it was an awesome rumor in Hollywood this week.

Anyway, see our updated rundown below:

There are only around 3 or 4 shows up there that I follow, almost all the rest, I've never heard of or seen.

All the shows that I do follow closely are cable shows.

[Hal-9000]

You also forgot Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and Boardwalk Empire!


I can't wait for Breaking Bad to restart, that just had the best cliff-hanger since "Who Shot J.R." that is such a good show!

[beowulf]

If you have Sky, you get just about everything on that list! I have Sky, and I'm amazed at the amount of American shows that's on 24 hours a day!

[Hal-9000]

you don't get cable!

you get bbc 1 and for variety, bbc 2

[AntZ]

If you got the time, you need to check out Breaking Bad! Hell, I would dump Dexter if I had to make a choice! That show swept the Two best actor Emmie's!
