Cancelled & Renewed NBC TV Shows for 2009-10

Published: May 16, 2010

Law & Order and The Office canceled or renewed?NBC has the biggest problems of the major networks. They had a lot of weak programming (including five nights a week of The Jay Leno Show) and so will have a lot of slots to fill next season. They’ve already renewed several borderline shows and let a lot of others go.

Here’s a listing of NBC TV shows with their current status. This list encompasses shows that have aired from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.

Renewed
30 Rock: Tina Fey and company to return for season five.
America’s Got Talent: The talent competition returns this summer.
The Apprentice: The Donald will be back to bully more potential employees.
The Biggest Loser: More public weight loss in season 10.
Chuck: The adventures of the geeky spy continue in season four.
Community: Chevy Chase and the gang will be back for year two.
Dateline: It’ll be back next season on Friday nights and as needed elsewhere.
Friday Night Lights: It will be back for season five, the show’s last.
Law & Order: SVU: The spin-off will be back for year 12.
The Marriage Ref: Tom Papa comes back next season for year two.
Minute to Win It: Coming back for round two of more quick games.
The Office: No surprise that we’ll get season seven.
Parenthood: One of the few new NBC shows to get a sophomore renewal.
Parks and Recreation: Coming back for year three.
Who Do You Think You Are?: The genealogy show’s renewed for year two.

Cancelled (or ending)
The Great American Road Trip: No season two for the reality competition.
Here Come the Newlyweds: After two seasons, it’s over.
Heroes: No season five but hopefully a wrap-up movie will come instead.
The Jay Leno Show: An interesting experiment that was almost universally reviled.
Kings: This interesting drama didn’t find enough viewers.
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! One season on ABC, one on NBC. No more.
Law & Order: The granddaddy show ends after 20 seasons.
The Listener: This drama was renewed in Canada but cancelled in the US.
Mercy: Disappointing ratings meant no season two.
Merlin: The BBC export was cancelled by NBC but picked up by Syfy.
The Philanthropist: “The Complete Series” was released on DVD in January.
Southland: NBC cancelled it but TNT picked it up and later ordered season three.
The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien: It didn’t live up to expectations and O’Brien and the network parted ways.
Trauma: Ended after 18 episodes.

What do you think? Any news that makes you particularly happy or sad? Surprised? When compared to other networks, is NBC better or worse about cancelling shows?

I was reading this article on shows renewed and shows ending or being cancelled. Out of all the shows renewed and can not say I honestly would sit down and watch any of them. But of the shows cancelled or ending I recently found Kings on hulu and loved it! As well as Merlin and enjoyed that one too!, Also I found a show called flash forward on hulu and loved it too! Seems to me that the networks need to fire the people that are supposed to promote the shows (as I knew none of these exsisted while they… Read more »

Why Mercy!!! I loved it. I am getting tired of Greys Anatomy and would stand by it even so, but Mercy was something new – in the Bay Area of Northern California and thought it was great. My husband and I always watched it. Bring it back! Why do you cancel the great ones. I do watch the Apprentice, but give me a break. Why does Trump need one more thing on.

All I have to say is it’s no wonder CBS has better ratings. They keep the good shows. I thought NBC was making a come-back as I used to watch primarily NBC many years ago but now it’s CBS. I really enjoyed watching Mercy and Trauma, even though Trauma wasn’t as realistic as it should’ve been, it was getting better. I heard through the grape vine that Parenthood was going to be canceled… if that happens, I’m done with NBC!

Bring back Mercy. One of the best shows since ER. The only reason to watch NBC was Mercy and the Office. Fox and CBS are really killing NBC. Mercy,Mercy,Mercy!!!!

I think that it is a huge mistake to cancel Mercy. This show is awesome, and my husband and I love it….you cant just cancel it due to low ratings on the first season, you need to give it time to grow. With everything new that came out last year and everything canceled before a second season can catch peoples eyes, you havent given it time. This wrong and not right. I am not happy at all and I was really looking forward to the next season….

What a bad mistake.. great show Trauma and Rabbit was the best! Sexy but compassionate. There is nothing good anymore on TV.. enough with the reality shows, give us back Trauma and good shows like the old days, Carol Burnett, All in the Family… more shows for the whole family… BRING BACK TRAUMA!

I couldn’t agree with you more. The major stations, give us nothing but trash, except for ABC, Brothers and Sisters always leaves me wanting more. Their hour show always seems as if it is a half hour clip.
I find that our home is watching more and more of the cable stations. Nikita and Southland are two favorites.

Very very disappointed in NBC . You have canceled some of my favorite shows why I have no idea. I really enjoyed mercy and trauma I was also disappointed when they canceled southland as well, but I still kept watching. I am refusing to watch the new shows NBC is putting on instead of what was supposed to be on. Hopefully they will get the hint if not let me just say “stop playing with people’s emotions “. Bring the shows back keep your veiwer’s happy, figure things out don’t just cancel.
