This was a fairly slow month up until the last couple of days. A lot of these renewals and extra episode orders were actually announced yesterday.

This week was a slow one. Outside of Empire, there wasn't much to talk about. Next week should be a little more active with quite a few season finales lined up.

This is here much later than usual but these things cannot be helped.

This was an active week. There's a series premiere, a series finale, three recently renewed shows and of course The Walking Dead to grace the list.

Network heads are not ready to see The Walking Dead return because it will really emphasize how sorry the ratings for their shows look at this point in the season. I'm ready for it to return because it's damn sad when not one show from my pool of cable shows that I use to make this list can attract 3 million viewers per week.

Quite a few renewals this month and as promised I cleaned up a lot of those shows that have been straggling on the list for months. Perhaps only one of them may not be truly canceled though its chances for returning dwindle with each passing month but the rest probably should have been updated months ago and I gave networks the benefit of the doubt because the holiday season tends to be slow. That being said, upfronts will be rolling around in a few months and those are always packed with renewals of more recent shows.

A lot of CW shows in here mostly because I'll try to avoid talking about them for the rest of the season unless I absolutely need something as filler.
