Anybody have an idea of which new Fall TV shows may be getting cancelled?

It sounds like Kidnapped ends with 13 episodes, and The Knights of Prosperity has been bounced to midseason in what seems like the brush off to me.

I say Vanished doesn't make it.

Look for "Friday Night Lights" to vanish quickly and Studio 60 to end up on the Tuesday or Wednesday night block.

Help Me Help You needs to go away.

Veronica Mars is one the bubble, I would suspect.

Runaway is also dying on Monday.

Smith isn't wowing CBS.

Six Degrees needs to go away.

Standoff is really lucky to have House as a lead-in.

Brothers and Sisters is also just as lucky.

Justice maybe.

I believe justice is gone already. They are airing repeats of House at 9pm on wednesdays

They just ordered a few more 'scripts' of Justice, they will air after the baseball season.

Also, Vanished is getting the switch of death:

This just means Fox believes in Justice and dislikes Vanished .

Sadly, Veronica Mars.

Vanished? Man i'm starting to like that show too.

From what I understand this show is safe for now. the CW does not have great ratings anyways, so the poor ratings for VM is not that shocking. Kristen from E Online says that the president of c-dub loves Veronica mars

That's good to hear. It may be safe for now, but that is hardly great news. The thought of this wonderful show being eliminated early makes me sad.

My guess would be that a 2.x would likely mean no VM season 4, not a cancellation of the show. It does pair nicely with GG, and it's not like the CW had anything close to a decent development season.

This is how the CW is spinning the Veronica Mars ratings:

Yep, the CW will cancel Runaway first, which is only getting a 1.x rating. I don't think they have many other shows lined up to fill too many open slots.

They could have had Everwood.

I think that new Joely Fisher/Brad Garrett show 'Til Death' won't be around for long...nobody seems to be watching and Brad Garrett has been acting like a diva refusing to perform unless script changes are made. Always a bad sign when a show doesn't have the ratings to back it up.

'Veronica Mars' is actually pretty lucky with their ' Gilmore Girls' lead-in and like creator Rob Thomas said over the summer - they needed to retain 66% of GG numbers to be say and they did that (barely though), so I think we'll atleast get the full season.

But for the other shows I see going soon:

- Vanished is already dead in the water
- 'Studio 60' might actually be a surprise cancellation because the ratings have steadily been going down, down, down
- 'Shark' & 'Smith' seem to not be doing well, which is good for me because it means 'Jericho' is safe (for now)...
- CW is hard to predict, but 'Runaway' is pulling in the worst numbers of any series on the network... but since they only have one series lined up for mid-season it should be interesting to see how they deal with it...
- As for 'Friday Night Lights', the numbers wheren't amazing, but NBC got demographics they havn't seen in years, which is what could have this series prevail over say 'Kidnapped'... but really 'Heroes' is the only safe show on the network at this point...

happy hour (fox) . It is already being replaced with repeats of Til Death which isn't saying much.

Studio 60. The rub against this show is that it is too inside baseball to carry viewers. Advertisers were apparently picking 30 rock over this show to survive. Ratings have fallen week over week and from the 1st half hour to the second. Not a good sign for such a heavily hyped show.

Smith isn't carrying enough of the lead in and dropped badly week over week.

I would say technically, Veronica Mars isn't a new fall show even though it really didn't do well leading out of GG.

I hope they don't cancel Friday Night Lights, as I enjoyed the episode.

I'd except Tree People to be gone. I'd never heard of it until I saw the preview on ABC and it looked awful.

That is excellent news for me. I really like Justice but wasn't going to be able to watch it now that Lost is back on. Airing it on Monday is perfect. I watch Vanished too but I couldn't care less if it gets cancelled.

Although the ratings for Studio 60 have not been stellar, they are still decent. But the show is one of the most expensive to produce and that could put it in major jeapordy. But that being said, NBC is trying to re-establish themselves as a quality network, and I doubt they would cancel this show for two reasons: 1) They have a relationship with Sorkin that they want to continue with, and to a lessar extent, Mathew Perry. 2) They have shown a recent willingness to continue with high quality, midling ratings show to improve the overall quality of the network (see The Office).

I see this show getting a full season from NBC to see if they've got something here.

Kidnapped is tanking though and I can see that being the first sacrificial Lamb for NBC.
I think Friday Night lights is safe for the season, its been a critical fave, and I don;t see NBC touching this show this year.

The other networks are in a different boat right now.

CW:
I doubt CW would can Runaway and V mars right away, they do not have enough in develepment right now. I see V Mars hanging on through the season or at least there 13 ep commitment and Runaway being axed by Dec.

ABC: Six Degrees is not long for this world, I see this going shortly, Men In Trees is actually a decent show, and is buried on Friday Nights, I don't see them axing this soon, as they must have not had high rating expectations for it there. brothers and sisters is a mess, but the ratings have been pretty good, they will trya nd fix this show in time before it completely implodes.

Fox: Fox has plenty of ammo coming in January, so Vanished, Til Death and Standoff are all on death watch. I think Justice has enough going for it, it's slick Bruckenheimer show, with a solid cast. If they put this show paired with Idol, House or 24 it would find it's audience, I have a hunch Fox will try and do this.

CBS: They have low tolerance for fledgling shows, (See Love Monkey), but right now, the ratings for Jericho, Shark and Smith have been decent enough. I think all of them hang on through the new year to see how they continue to shake out.

Actually, Shark is doing quite well. Maybe not as well as they'd like for a post-CSI show, but it's still attracting around 15m viewers and is #1 in the time spot.

Smith, though, isn't doing so hot.

That's an encouraging thought!

My sentiments exactly. What besides Gilmore Girls DOES get major numbers (even that isn't stellar for the big four)? Considering the limited viewership the CW has, they can't be terribly bummed about the show's viewership and as also pointed out - they have nothing in the pipe to replace it with - certainly nothing they should expect to do remotely as well at this point in the season!

I think they were anticipating better numbers for Seventh Heaven (didn't it used to score in the low 7s?)

Runaway is actually a really good show. The problem with it is the time it is on. With being up against:
Excellent Comedy (and the only one on at 9 on Mondays) 2 and 1/2 Men
Overhyped Sci-Fi Drama Heroes
Alias fan supported Justice (Plus has Prison Break lead in)
Reality favorite (The Bachelor)
Plus being on the bastard step-child network
