Is your favorite ABC TV show returning or has it already been cancelled? What TV series have been renewed for next season? How many episodes are there?
Below is a list of all of the regular ABC series that have aired (or are expected to air) during the 2012-13 season — roughly September 2012 – August 2013. (I’ve also included Summer 2012 shows because people will be wondering about them too.)
Using this “cheat sheet” you can tell where your favorite ABC television 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.

Please bring back DUETS. I”ve been waiting since it ended last year. Still have it on my DVR.

Nashville is one of the best shows on TV. The music and the stories are always fun. I live in Nashville and this is very close to how the industry actually operates here. I love it.
Give it up with the reality shows! I can’t believe people support that crap!!!
I agree – reality shows are exactly that – no acting experience needed and it shows! PLEASE KEEEP THE COMEDIES! NOT ENOUGH FUNNY IN THE WORLD!!!
Wow how ridiculous is ABC getting? it makes me not even want to try and watch any shows that they have to offer anyone! ABC u SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
ABC, shame on you for cancelling a fantastic show like ‘Last Resort’! I have watched every episode and like someone mentioned previously, I know several people who watch the show, so were are you getting your information to make a decision to cancel?! You will keep shows like ‘The Bachelor’, ‘The Bachelor Pad’ (watch a joke of a show!), ‘The Bachelorette’ and many other reality type shows that I won’t even let my dog watch because they are sooooo ridiculous. It is hard for me to believe that enough people watch those crappy shows to warrant keeping them around over… Read more »
I can’t believe all these lame reality shows get spots but an awesome show like last resort gets cancelled!! That’s why I hate starting a show it always gets cut!! Make reality a time of the past
Are you kidding me? If you are going to cancel anything it should be Nashville. The accent of that Australian actress is so fake and over the top. In fact I stopped watching it for that exact reason. How come no one else in town has such a ridiculous exaggerated accent? I also also agree that there are too many reality shows. Cancel them! And what happened to GCB? It was a cute tongue in cheek show.
You clearly have no accent recognition, since she is English, not Australian. I know plenty of people who speak that way – Southern accents still have regional variations. I love Nashville, but I find it extremely irritating that it airs so sporadically.
Malibu Country…I love Reba but that show stinks…I hope it gets canned!!
I can’t believe you are cancelling Last Resort! One of the best series ever! Everyone I know watched it and it kept them spell bound! Big Mistake! I am very upset with you for doing this! I don’t know who you pull but you left a whole lot of people out! Please re think this!
