Prime Time TV Score Card: What shows are truly on the Bubble

Here is are the shows that are on the bubble and my preditions on what shows will make it. Keep in mind these are the scripted sitcoms and dramas. Again Reality and newsmagazines have been left out.

ABC:
Blind Justice
Less than Perfect
8 Simple Rules
Eyes

Likely ABC shows to be renewed:

8 Simples Rules: Other ABC sitcoms like 'George Lopez' and 'Hope & Faith' get around the same numbers as 8 Simple Rules does. Sure it is not the same show without the late John Ritter but hey why chuck it if you don't everything else.

CBS:
Listen Up
Joan of Arcadia
Judging Amy
Yes Dear

Likely CBS shows to be renewed:

Judging Amy: It still pulls in very good numbers on Tuesdays along with NCIS and Amazing Race.

Joan of Arcadia: With JAG gone CBS might keep this show. It still beats ABC's 8 Simple Rules but not by much. Changes are that Numb3rs will take over JAG's old time slot on Fridays.

Yes Dear: Big mistake to dump this show for "Center of the Universe." Thanks to Idol this show even overtakes ABC's Alias statistly. It is a great companion show for "King of Queens."

FOX:
Life on a Stick
Bernie Mac
Arrested Development
Quintuplets

Likely FOX shows to be renewed:

Arrested Development: Sunday nights have not been kind of FOX recently, but since they are keeping Malcom in the Middle and King of the Hill for one more year why not. Maybe this could help Seth McFarlane's cartoon shows as well (Family Guy, and American Dad)

Life on a Stick: Its new but it shows promice in recent books. NBC did not help this week with the end time min-series.

Bernie Mac: It is not a big ratings getter, but like some UPN shows, it's ment for the African American audience. If it gets that group then its likely safe.

NBC:
Will & Grace
Committed
The Office

Likely to be renewed by NBC

Will & Grace: The reason why this show is on the bubble is because of the money. You know how these "stars" want more money in their checks when their shows do well. NBC will come though for them.

The Office: Its unique like Scrubs and better American version than Coupling. Both came from Britian. Shame on NBC if they chuck The Office.

UPN:
Kevin Hill
All of Us

Likely UPN shows to be Renewed

Kevin Hill: He is the black male Alliy McBeal. Kevin is just as unique as Veronica Mars

WB:
Jack & Bobby
Summerland

Likely WB shows to be Renewed:

Both and that is a longshot
