The Only TV Column That Matters™ knows the fate of your beloved network series—or, knows enough to make a wild guess as to whether or not they'll return next season. Could an NBC exec wake up tomorrow and say "Cancel Parenthood—we're going with Hollywood Cornhole on Thursdays"? Sure. Is it possible that Fox, and America, finally realizes the comedy genius of Surviving Jack before it's too late? Remotely. Could CBS decide that one NCIS is enough for the nation's shut-ins? Yeah, right. Will The CW's show-cloning machine run out of unicorns-and-glitter fuel? Not likely. Might ABC embrace the concept of hate-watching weapons-grade crap and squeeze out another 13 episodes of Black Box? I almost hope so. These be the stats as I know them right now:
