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?
I just discovered The River two weeks ago. I watched the first 6 episodes online in two days, then watched the last two on TV. This is an amazing show! I sincerely hope it doesn’t get cancelled. The foundation has been laid for an incredible second season. Now that Emmett Cole has been found, season two would even be a great jumping on point for new viewers. The River is the best show to hit TV since Lost, and in my opinion, has the potential to be even better. Please, ABC, don’t cancel my new favorite show.
Save the River and get rid of stupid sitcoms and reality stuff. Lots of us are sick and tired of them. How can you build any kind of an audience when YOU CANCEL shows before the storyline is even given a chance? I think there are 10 year old kids making decisions for the networks.
Please have The River get renewed. That is probably best show I’ve ever seen. I’ve never gotton so attached to a TV Show. It deserves to have a second season with more episodes. I’m sure the hits the show actually gets would increase as well anyway.. SaveTheRiver!!
I look forward to seeing the new series Pan Am on Sunday nights at 9:00p.m. If you cancel this show what will I do. Oh I know I will have a choice of which dumb reality show should I watch. I love the sixty era. That is why I watch Mad Men also. If you are considering canceling Pam Am because of ratings maybe try a different day or time to show the series. I think the show helps you see a side of life that maybe you don’t know much about. This kind of Drama is good for the… Read more »
Saw a preview for Snow White & The Huntsman – it looks awesome! In comparison – would not be all that sad to see the cancelation of the slow moving, nothing seems to be happening ” Once Upon aTime”
The river is what the show the river should be sent down.
Castle, Once Upon a Time(wayyyy better than Grimm), The River, and Revenge (not groundbreaking or anything but it’s fun and a guilty pleasure) are all really great shows. I especially hope they don’t cancel Castle(I LOVE NATHAN FILLION) or The River. The River is just a neat premise though I’m not sure how they’d go into next season.
Pan Am is a great show. This is one that the netwoeks need to give time for mature audiences, who look for interesting plots to find. Give it another shot for a year and I bet you won’t regret it.
Please don’t cancel Revenge! A classic guilty pleasure!
I really wish networks would stop cancelling all of the good shows and start cancelling the “reality tv crap”! I am so sick of the reality bull. We watch tv for entertainment and to excap “reality”.
Amen!
One of the few shows i really enjoy. please do not cancel. Hopefully, a cable
network will pick it up.
Please don’t cancel Pan Am! Finally a great show that everyone loves and you may cancel it?? Please reconsider!
The River is one of the best new shows on abc! I REALLY hope it gets picked up for another season PLEASE!!!
I hope so too
Revenge is finally the best show on tv. Its about time, the only one I can’t wait to see.
I was ready to give up tv altogether.
my wife and I love Pan Am. We now have others that we compare notes with at work. ABC didn’t give it enough time because the original pre-views didn’t do it Justice. please ask ABC to rethink their decision to cancel. CF
