I don't really watch NBC or ABC or CW...so I'm not sure about those networks. Although, I did catch Medium, i thought it was good. And NBC should totally put it after heroes, it would get a large lead in, along with the regulars.
As for CBS, The Class, like we all remember me saying, I was TOLD, was coming back, but I'm not positive, maybe so many people lie at CBS to me, or not, anyways....I think they should give Jericho another chance, just one more season, and if it is the same as now, then AX it! Though The Class has gotten so much better, I agree with everyone that just posted that on here! So, I'm believing what I was told.
And for Fox, Cancel War at Home, the show is horrible! I find nothing funny in it. For Til Death, I am pretty sure it would do well, it's just that it's not promoted enough. I'm very eager to see what the numbers will be after it's showed after Idol. Also, I've never seen standoff, so no comment!
That's my thought

They are going to cancel Jericho? I think that show should deserve a second chance. So what about Close to Home?
I doubt NBC will kill 30 Rock. But I bet it cancels Friday Night Lights.

NBC: L&O: CI, Crossing Jordan, Medium, The Apprentice, Studio 60, 30 Rock
ABC: According to Jim, George Lopez, In Case of Emergency, Knights of Prosperity, What About Biran
CBS: Close to Home, The Class, Jericho
Fox: The War at Home, Standoff
CW: Gilmore Girls (Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham have not signed on for another season yet); Veronica Mars, All of Us, The Game, 7th Heaven (note - Battaglio states that if this stays we'll all "know that the CW's new-show development is lousy.")
My observations on Mr. Battaglio's endangered list...
NBC: It certainly would be bold of the net to cancel most of those series. I think that unless the new 10 p.m. time slot helps, "The Apprentice" will likely get fired. "Studio 60" is the most likely candidate for cancellation with at least one of the other dramas mentioned. "Law & Order: CI" has always been the least popular of the "L&O" franchise, so the net may cut it loose, but also risks making mega producer Dick Wolf angry. Perhaps converting "CI" into an occasional movie series will appease him.
CBS: "Jericho" may get a second chance if its ratings can stabilize once the "Idol" results show begins. The net may also give a second chance to "The Class" and surprise everyone by canceling "How I Met Your Mother" to make room for it. "Close to Home" is the most likely of these to get the ax.
ABC: I boldly predict that only one of these endangered series will return, most likely "George Lopez" or "According to Jim". All the others don't warrant a renewal.
Fox: Both series are toast.
CW: Maybe one of these will return. If so, my bet would be "All of Us", however, I wouldn't be surprised to see them all canceled.
Everyone, take note of his words about The Class!!! Also, I was told about HIMYM's cancellation too, but I doubted it. Though, as I think about it, it's been out for 2 years now, and is not improving much, so I believe what i was told now.

I don't know Marc. I think the NBC head honchos really like Friday Night Lights and its grown a bit as the sesaon progressed. Not to mention, its owned by NBC. I'd say if Friday Night Lights ends near the top of its ratings, then it will come back. If it exits with a whimper, then its curtains. Plus, this show is different from other NBC programs. It brings in a different audience, and I think that should make up for something.

I think you could be right on some of these, especially NBC's programs and possibly Jericho. If What About Brian improves substantially behind Dancing with the Celebs, then it could get spared and given a new night next year.

Originally posted by Slop Reilly: I think that there will be some surprising renewals.
I think NBC will definately renew Friday Night Lights, and possibly 30 Rock.
I think ABC will renew What About Brian and try it on a different night.
I think CBS will renew Jericho.
And I think the CW might actually give a 13 episode order to Veronica Mars.
These are my predictions...come May I will see how right I am.

Unless it reverses course, "What About Brian" won't be given much of an opportunity to reap the benefits of airing out of "Dancing With the Stars". Currently, ABC plans to air the season finale of "Brian" following the return of "Dancing" on March 26. After that the net intends to squander the lead-out on an expanded 90-minute season of "The Bachelor".
"Law & Order: CI" has always been the least popular of the "L&O" franchise, so the net may cut it loose, but also risks making mega producer Dick Wolf angry. Perhaps converting "CI" into an occasional movie series will appease him.
I don't disagree, but isn't Dick Wolf a one-trick pony? Outside of the Law & Order franchises, his only lasting show was New York Undercover on FOX. Now that ratings for the Law & Order shows are failing, what incentive should they realistically have to appease him?

I agree. They weren't too scared to cancel Trial By Jury or Convictions and they put the Mothership in the Friday 10pm death spot. I don't think Dick Wolf is all that scary to NBC Universal. It's what have you done for me lately and Wolf's batting average has taken a dive the last few years.
Isn't the TNT syndication deal for the mothership up this year? Would that have an affect on it's cances for renewal??

I think Criminal Intent should drop either Noth or D'Onofrio, preferably Noth. The fans in the past have expressed concern D'Onofrio would be dropped. I hope that's not the case. He makes the show in some respects, imo.
