Guess "WHO'S" Cancelled and Who's Not!

May is always one of the hardest months to bare if you're a fan of scripted television. You're favorite shows are going on summer hiatus and the destiny of them lies in the hands of the networks execs. The recession has execs questioning every episode of the programs they put on the air. Just to get out of the way the list of great shows that will be coming back next fall.

30 Rock
The Office
How I Met Your Mother
Parks and Recreations
and
Lost

I would just like to thank the executives for not canceling the only reason to watch network television anymore. In case you were wondering reality shows are never cancelled they just go away and if you are one of the people that constantly watch them, don't worry something will take it's place.Programs on HBO and Showtime aren't decided on in May. Now moving on to shows that bit the bullet and were renewed.NBC's fan favorite "CHUCK" is picked up for 13 more episodes but will unfortunately suffer budget cuts. Scrubs is also renewed by ABC after being brought over from the peacock network.


Now moving on to shows that won't be with us next fall.
King of the Hill (will finally be gone)
Terminator: Sarah Conor Chronicles (much better in movie form)
Knight Rider (Thank goodness)
Prison Break (How many times can they break out... Once right)
Samantha Who? ( Never got around to watching it)


A few shows are still up in the air at this time.
One show I hope they save is "My Name is Earl." It's rumored to be picked up by FOX if and when NBC passes.
