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?
Round One: Which bubble show should be saved?

This is your turn to play network executive. Which bubble show would you save if you had the power to do so?
This is a smackdown-style game which means that we’ll be doing it in three rounds. You can only vote once right now but, next week, we’ll take the top winners and you can vote again on those.
Is choosing just one of these shows too tough? Is a TV programmer’s job an easy one? After you’ve voted, leave a comment below and share your decision. You might just convince someone to follow your lead!
UPDATE: This round is now closed. Please proceed to round two…
I love medium because it is based on a real lady. It is like a mystery show and you try to figure out how they catch the murder.
YOU CANT LIMIT US TO JUST ONE SHOW TO SAVE YOU NINCOMPOOPS!!
@Anonymous: This is round one of the game. Vote for your favorite from this list and then, in round two, vote for the top vote-getters from the first round. And watch the name calling. Thanks.
there are 3 shows on that list above that I would miss the most. First, BETTER OFF TED, which I think is really funny with a dry sarcastic sense of humor. Second is NEW CHRISTINE…I just love Julia L-D. Great writing. Third is LIE TO ME….but i think i would miss that the least. I like the stories and seeing them figure it out but I can see that it probably only has one more season to it. I’m not quite ready to let it go. the one that is totally past it’s life is MEDIUM. Last season they were… Read more »
Medium – good actors – writers need to use a little more imagination
Trauma – good new actors – very likeable
Mercy – again , personalities you can relate to , good acting
I love heros and medium…please don’t take them off the air.
save ONE TREE HILL, MERCY & LIFE UNEXPECTED! I love these shows!!
YAY! ONE TREE HILL AND LIFE UNEXPECTED FANS ALL THE WAY! 😀
OK, I made some typos. I get too wrapped up in what I am saying and my typing goes down the tubes. Sorry ’bout that! I would have fixed it if possible, but this site doesn’t allow you to preview or edit before submitting and I hit the button too soon!
Round One: Which bubble show should be saved? I cannot choose only one show! I do not want to give up either Castle or Lie to Me. Of all the rest of the shows on the list, I also enjoy Cold Case and the newest show, Human Target. I liked Mental and was sorry to see him leave the hospital. All I could wish for at that moment was that he was taking us to FL to be near his sister. Rules of Engagement is one of the few sitcoms I watched; it always made me laugh out loud. I… Read more »
Scrubs, Lie to me and Heroes all need to come back. As far as I’m concerned One Tree Hill was over the second they lost Chad and Hilary, you can’t have a show without the main characters. I was an obsessed fan from day one but stopped watching it when they left. You can’t have One Tree Hill without Lucas or Peyton it just doesn’t make any sense. They should have known better.
your right, they shouldn’t have taken them off! but i still love the show. it makes u love naley more 🙂 u should have seen last nights episode! i cried :'( very emotional episode for Haley and her sisters …
SAVING GRACE-one of the best shows i have seen in a long time.
Cold Case
Old Christine
Gary Unmarried These are some of the best shows on-Saving Grace is the most real, even with an angel in it.!!!!!!
Torn between campaigning for Chuck or Better Off Ted, but BOT is in deeper trouble (and slightly preferred) so that’s where my single vote goes.
As for having to vote for a single show, next time consider Instant Runoff Voting… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting
@plooger: Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the voting plug-in we use doesn’t work that way and I’m not aware of one that does. Be sure to come back for round two! 😉
Trauma, Cold Case, V, Life Unexpected, and FlashForward are only new shows that I love to watch. They maybe similar to some shows that are already out, but I don’t care. These shows are way better and more entertaining!
I think there are too many reality shows on right now. Especially the little copycat ones that pop up once in a while. I like Trauma, Accidentally on Purpose, Gary Unmarried, Castle and Mercy. These shows are exciting and funny and let me escape for a little while. With thing’s like the economy the way they are, that’s a pretty good thing.
like i said…..before…this is why i hate new shows…and all my fav old ones…. they get CXL’D so save….mediun, castle.bones,fringe, flash point,, human target,numbers, cold case….and if they do get CXL’D….haha…. i have cable…ill forever watch re-runs………..ALL the networks think about is money…not us…the very loyal fans that have been watching theses shows…from the start. oh and nbc u jacked up bad w/that leno guy….. lots of shows got lost or tossed around and us LOYAL FANS…from the very start…. still kept an eye out for OUR shows…watching em when ever u thought to throw us a bone and put… Read more »
Heroes, Chuck, Fringe, Castle, Medium, Flash Forward, V, Human Target & Lie to Me, these are all great shows. Heroes writers need to step it up, but I will still watch it till the end because I’m hooked.
