When is your favorite ABC TV show coming back or, has it already been cancelled? What TV series have been renewed for another season? How many episodes have been ordered? Well, wonder no more. 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 love Missing. They didn’t even give it a chance. It’s action packed and Ashley Judd kicks butt! I don’t get TV executives decision making.
[…] search is truly over for the Magus crew. ABC has cancelled The River, their mid-season thriller series, after just one season of eight […]
Pan Am was a great show!! ABC are a bunch of IDIOTS that only care about making the all-mighty buck and pushing off on the American public,CRAP like wipe-out,The Bachelor, The Bimbbo-ettes,GCB ,ECT.!!!! ABC and Mr. Paul Lee are JERKS!!!!!! Long live Pan AM ,The Clipper Majestic, and all it`s LOYAL FANS, ON ANOTHER NETWORK or CABLE!! To HELL with ABC!!!!!!
Why Is Missing being cancelled? Is it over peoples head? Obviously the persons at ABC who made this decision is dumber than dirt. I finally get a show that interests me only to have it cancelled and i’m not watching your other crap you pedal to people with a first grade education. I’m sorry but watching 25 men slober on one woman does not interest me, but i can see how you would save money.
Finally, I can watch a show that when the hour is up, I’m wishing for more. It should have been made into a feature because obviously, it takes an audience that actually thinks and has to pay attention. A bit over the head for the “Bachelor or Wife Swap” audience.
Shame on you ABC! Hell, you hardly have anything on your channel worth watching, your at the bottom of the ratings and you cancel “Missing”… Executives that are clearly 12 years old…
[…] Winstone’s chase is over. ABC has cancelled Missing, their Thursday night TV series, after one season and 10 […]
Now I know why cable TV is better, everytime I get into a show the network cancels it uugghhh so frustrating. Pan Am, missing and combat hospital all awesome shows and are now gone so sad.
Bring gcb missing back
oh and the bachelor pad and the other stupid shows like that, is all fake, fixed and nothing but a bunch of people being paid to put on a sl……………… show. really who can fall in love like that and all the kissing and ……………. american idol, use to be a good show, but it shows to be fixed more and more and lost alot of hope, awake, the river, missing and Alcatraz were really good shows and many people liked them, not everyone wants to see a bunch of ….. kissing and ….. and singers, dancers, etc. I mean… Read more »
i thoroughly enjoyed Castle, too bad it ended.
I think you should dump cougartown and wife swap.
Some of the show titles were so weird I didn’t watch because of that.
And some of the new shows were on when music programs were on so i didn’t get to see those.
Missing cancelled? I just don’t understand. ABC what are you thinking? A was shocked to hear this. This was one of those shows that I would not miss an episode. See, I am so shocked I can’t even write in full sentences! Thumbs way down for whoever made this decision.
I cannot believe that GCB is being cancelled!!! It is such a funny show. A show people!!! If you don’t like it because of the name, maybe you need to look in a mirror.
I’m happy that REVENGE was renewed – but I question why they are apparently trying to ruin their own product??? I have watched all season and I am a loss to understand WHY I never know what will be on this week! Some weeks there is no episode at all – others have a rerun – why can’t they do like other networks and just show one NEW episode per week? People loose interest when the show does not go on!
So so happy they renewed Body of Proof
Super sad to hear Pan Am and the The River might be cancelled. They have been two of my favorite new shows of the season. Once upon a time and GCB keep Sunday nights fun….hope both shows make it or I have nothing to watch!
I love, love, your new show “Missing” with Ashley Judd and Adriano Giannai. Please continue this program for another season. The storyline, the actors, and the scenery have been amazing to watch. I watch this over American Idol any day.
