Here’s a list of all of the regular ABC series that have aired (or are expected to air) during the 2011-12 season (now roughly September 2011 – August 2012).
Using this “cheat sheet” you can tell where your favorite ABC program 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 ABC program on this list, it may have been cancelled last season (2010-11) or perhaps the one before (2009-10).

What do you think? Which ABC TV shows won’t be renewed? Are there any that you wish would be cancelled?
What is going on with GENERAL HOSPITAL?Is it cancelled,and when will the lst episode be seen??I have watched it for 40 years,
Who are the IDIOTS at ABC that make these decisions about cancelling or retaining shows??? Of all the programs to be cancelled, MISSING is the BEST and they are cancelling it. Go figure! Guess we will start watching CBS or NBC. Screw ABC
I agree “Missing” was like a breath of fresh air after all the Bachelor, Batchloret, Dancing with the Stars, etc. shows. I think that Ashley Judd rocked the part! The entire cast of actors were terrific. This was my favorite show!
Dont cancel ‘Missing’. Ashley Judd rocks that character. Don’t be dumb, cancel the ‘bachelor/bachelorette’! Good Grief!!!! I loved ‘Missing’!!!!
“What would YOU Do?” isn’t on either list. It is one of the most intelligent and fascinating programs on television, with a great crew and excellent host JQ.
Sue L » It’s actually part of the “Primetime” series.
That was one of the best shows this year. Give it a chance. why more reality shows??
crazy
The first thing I looked for was “MISSING”, and it is cancelled! That was an awesome show and I agree with everyone else….Ashley Judd is great and the show is one I always taped just in case I missed it! How stupid, I can give you a long list of shows that should not even be on for one season and they are renewed again and again! What is wrong with these people? And where is “Person of Intrest”? Love that one also!
I am so angry with ABC. Two of my favorite shows have been cancelled – GCB and Missing. Both are well written, great story line(s), fine actors. They’ll probably replace them more stupid reality shows or others that you have to bleep most of the language, etc. I’m so disgusted with the networks.
Omg, it is so annoying how they are always get rid of the best shows. Missing was great and Expedition Impossible was new and had potential. I really liked it and will miss it. I think these people are making a big mistake about Missing though!
they have done that for years
I can not believe they cancelled Missing and GCB they are both great shows !!! ABC have you lost your mind?
Please bring back Missing. We just ended the story in the middle of the story. We have work the first 10 episodes on getting her son back and now you leave them hanging. We need a wrap up!! Give a final show to wrap things up. Ashley Judd and the cast has been great and love all the places that we have traveled. Thanks
really your canceling GCB, missing, the river,and pan am any of these are better that stupid reality crap. I have enough reality at home I watch TV to escape for a hour or two. Come on People, get your heads out of your a… and look at it from our point of view.
Really frustrated
I am so sorry to see Missing cancelled. It was an intriging, fast moving show with great actors.
I will also miss Desperate Houses. I think it was one of the best series on TV.
ABC is missing out by cancelling these shows.
I just don’t understand. Missing was one of the best new shows I’ve seen this year. It was in a bad time slot. Instead of all the bachelor and bachelorette episodes put Missing in this time slot. Ashley Judd was great and a great story line. I can’t wait for the next show to aire. The Bachelor and Bachelorette have run their course. I also love Scandal. But it has Grey’s anotomoy to lead into it.
I am tired of all these reality shows! They are canceling shows that are ten times better than those that people think they will find true love on…
Missing was one of the best shows on abc. Its sucks it only got one season.
I completely agree. Its my favorite show currently.
I agree. I loved missing. You actually had to pay attention to it unlike some of these really stupid shows. I also like GCB. It was funny and clever. Instead they will re[lace these two with mindless reality shows. Oh, well, I watch too much television anyway.
Rething GCB cancellation please. ….. This is a great show and has a wonderful cast. I don’t think ABC gave it a real chance. At least give it a whole season before you cancel it.
I agree !!! It’s a GREAT SHOW
