Round One: Which TV Show Should Be Saved from Being Cancelled?

As you can tell by looking at this page, several shows have already been cancelled this season. And unfortunately, the blood-bath isn’t over yet.

By May, numerous other TV shows will be cancelled and loyal viewers will have to say farewell to characters that they’ve come to know and love. There are more than 30 shows that are very possibly on the chopping block right now.

Some are almost certainly goners (Better Off Ted, Brothers) while others are very likely to return for another season (Fringe, Castle). Crazy things can happen though. Who would have guessed that NBC would end up ordering seven more episodes of Trauma after essentially cancelling it?
