Is Your Favorite Show in Danger?

It's that time of year: The networks are looking ahead to January and their midseason schedules, but some fall shows will have to be canceled to make room for the new stuff. Here's our list of 15 at-risk shows, many of which have posted significant ratings declines. Others are expensive to produce, a little long in the tooth, or just aren't performing as well as their timeslot competition — or even other shows on their own networks. Read about the issues each faces and then weigh in on which deserve to stay — or go.

(We'll keep updating the list of renewals and cancellations at the bottom of the page, so check back for the latest scheduling news.)

  • Glad Smallville isn't on that list... and neither are Supernatural and Heroes.... Good to know they won't be canceled mid season.... now just hoping for another season for the shows!
  • If "Fringe" is up against "The Office" then its also up against "CSI" and "Grey's Anatomy" and I'd be willing to be you that "The Office" isn't why it is getting beat in the ratings.
  • I Love Alex O'Loughlin and Three Rivers!!!    "A second chance is a powerful thing!"
