Is your favorite NBC TV series returning or has it already been cancelled? What TV shows have been renewed for another season? How many episodes have been ordered? Here’s a list of all of the regular NBC series that have aired (or are expected to air) during the 2011-12 season (roughly September 2011 through August 2012).
Using this “cheat sheet” you can tell where your favorite NBC TV series stands; how many episodes are in the current season, when it’ll be back on the air and, of course, if it’s already been renewed or cancelled.
If you can’t find a particular NBC program on this list, it may have been cancelled last season (2010-11) or perhaps the one before (2009-10).

Almost every show that I watch on NBC (except 1) has been cancelled. Maybe it is time to cancel my cable subscription. It would save quite a bit of money.
Such a shame….”Who do you think you are” is such a good show. It is not only interesting, entertaining but it is informative. I can not imagine why you would cancel it and keep some of the other “JUNK” on. It is also not a “DIRTY< SUGGESTIVE, CREEPY "
I really like that the mature, wage earning demographics are totally ignored when deciding programming. I’m 59 and really enjoy shows that have characters that are interesting and actors who can know how to act. But this is all lost to the 18-49 demographics that would rather see a reality piece of crap then something like Harry’s Law. My only hope is another network that may have an ounce or brain matter will pick it up.
Harry’s Law and WDYTYA absolutly unexceptable! Both are well written and have something intelligent to say and we can learn from them. Guess that says what I think of the “intelligence of the CEO’s who cancell good shows and leave the questionable ones on”
Time for another network to pick these shows up are you listening ABC, CBS and FOX???
WOW, Such total lack of intelligence, remove Harry’s Law, Who do yo think you are? and keep a bunch of reality shows that are not reality for most of us. Does this network have issues with adults who think, rationally and prefer quality? I’ll stay with CBS, PBS and keep reading.
Harry’s Law for one – finally a show that caters to the over age 49 group. A pathetic decision to cancel this show – NBC is the network for reality shows – which most are ridiculous. No wonder I find myself on CBS or ABC. BAD DECISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I definitely agree with this comment. I think the “boomer” crowd is more likely to be home watching this show and not out driving and texting!
HARRY’S LAW, The SING-OFF, and WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE…
Incredible that these well-written, interesting shows are gone.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz reconsider!!
Harry’s Law provided real actors of quality. Great story lines and the very fact cancelled because of an older audience; how much more discriminating can a statement be? You now can hire some teenagers drinking beer and having sex on the beach. Yes they will be millionaires soon. Get a grip NBC or you will always be in last place as a network. Maybe all the older audience members should do a total ban on NBC. This would be a great time to reconsider this decision, or maybe change Program Directors.
Wait a minute. I just saw that Betty White’s Off their Rockers is being renewed and Harry’s Law isn’t? I watched that show once, and while I like Betty White, the show was pretty gross. Everything was about sex. How could that show play to the younger crowd, (it’s all older people doing stupid stuff) but not Harry’s Law??????
Sad to see AWAKE and HARRY’S LAW go. Guess they were too interesting and smart. Glad to see GRIMM will be back. Oh, as stated by others, I may be 50, but no longer have a mortgage — only disposable income!
is it any wonder that most people watch cbs? every time abc or nbc get a good show and we get sucked in to watching those 2 channels again they cancel the shows. makes you wonder whose running these channels and why they still have a job!!?!? i read the other day that the reason harry’s law s being cancelled is because the audience watching is too old – how discriminating!!! what, do they 15 year olds running the studios? (i wouldn’t doubt it!) the firm is a really good show too and of course it’s being cancelled, back to cbs for me! wonder how long before abc cancels castle and body of proof? they’re really good shows too!!! please, reconsider and leave the firm and harry’s law on the air, at least you’ll know that there are at least 3 programs (dws, harry’s law and the firm) that people are watching, cuz personally you can keep all your reality shows – the really, really suck!!!
We cannot believe that another really smart program is biting the dust. Clever writing and creativity nearly wiped out Community, and truly inept programs like Two and A Half Men(has anyone noticed that the 1/2 has grown up) still grace the airways.
Harry’s Law is smart and quirky and in my community has had a great cross section of loyal viewers. I read one of the comments on canceling centered around demographics. Whose??? It like THE FIRM is just too well written to let go of in this way. WHY ARE WE DUMBING DOWN OUR PROGRAMS?
My family adores Harry’s Law . Kathy Bates and the whole cast have done an amazing job… Let’s GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE…. COME ON PEOPLE!!!
I would rather watch “The Sing Off” anytime, than listen to the judges argue on “The Voice”. I am sorry that AWAKE got cancelled as well, I really liked that one. I guess it is back to Food Network and Netflix for me.
Hello….Awake was such a cool show — I watched every single episode, PLEASE don’t cancel this show!!!*@
And I totally loved The Firm, always a cliff hanger wondering what would happen next.
Why do all the exciting, good ones get cancelled??
What were they thinking when they cancelled “Harry’s Law”?? One of the few shows with such brilliant dialogue, interesting plots, and, of course, the great Kathy Bates.
It’s really a shame. Hope that they reconsider and give it at least another season.
I agree, great show! Please bring it back!
I AGREE!! I’m 41 years old and LOVED HARRY’S LAW!! Where they get that it’s for 50′s and older crowd is beyond me!! I get tired of beach party, alcohol drinking, sex every where and way possible kind of shows dominating the airways. (I like them, just not dominating the airways) Harry’s Law had a terrific cast (kudos for bringing my guy from Human Target to the cast….that show shouldn’t have been cancelled either!) All those wonderful actors/actresses and the great plots….such a shame to see something so terrific be taken off the airways!!!!!
