Well its become a traditional piece and project at USA Today regarding those shows that the networks have not decided to renew just yet, and what the viewers tell them to renew in hopes they will do. This feature also tells you which shows have gotten a renewal for next season and which ones are going to be put to rest. Before I link the story here is rundown for each network. Also for the shows that have gotten canceled, I will point out how long those shows ran cause some were on for quite awhile. One more thing, this survey ONLY deals with "scripted shows" (sitcoms and dramas) and does not highlight the newsmagazines, game and/or reality shows. With that I shall start with...
ABCRenewed or Soon Will BeAccording to Jim
Boston Legal
Desperate Housewives (I am a guy and I would rather watch the Bell Daytime dramas on CBS over this anytime. Oh for those who don't get, it Y&R and B&B. Still don't get it, please vist CBS's website)
George Lopez (Not a big numbers getter, but hey he is survivor in many ways. Not to mechion he stars in the very few sitcoms that have hispanics in the core cast. Remember "Que Pasa U.S.A?" which aired on many public television stations back in the late 1970's anyone?)
Grey's Anatomy (Would love to find a woman to make love with. Don't need to watch a series about the sex lifes of Medical Interns. I have to admit the Post Super Bowl have allowed this show to overtake the Housewives overall ratings wise)
Lost ('Bad Robot's' best show yet...Speaking of Bad Robot we move now to the first show of...)
ABC shows CanceledAlias: 5 Seasons, 105 Total Episodes (Hope the fans come support the show's final episodes. They need to if they want to see this cult hit wrap up.)

CBS Shows CanceledCourting Alex: 13 Episodes were ordered, 10 were produced but only 8 aired (Well I hate CBS when it comes to sitcoms anyway and that includes Old Christine)
Love Monkey: 8 Episodes Produced, 3 were aired (Note: The monkeys at USA Today missed/omitted this cancelation from the list. Hope they take note of it for the correction/mistake box)
Still Standing: 4 Seasons, 86 Episodes (Looks like Renee Olstead can focus more on her singing carrer. She was just in the adults shadow anyway. I will not miss this show)

Surface: 15 Total Episodes (The worst of the alien invasion shows that aired this season. Good riddance and to quote TV Guide of the 2005 Fall Preview regarding this show; "Glug, Glug, Glug." It took some time but it got their. Now I have one question. Deal...or No Deal? Ooops can't do game shows. The TV elites hate that. Lets move on)
The Book of Daniel: 7 Episodes were Produced, 3 or 4 episodes were aired (Again the Question is Deal...or No Deal? Note to the TV Elites; Most people would rather face that question that watch a show that mocks religious faith. The track record for this kind of entertainment is poor at best)
