2013-14 Preseason Renewal Odds

I have only included new shows that are scheduled to premiere by November 30.  On this blog, the term renewed means that a show will be on the schedule for the 2014-15 TV season, not just that it will air a full season.  I also do not make predictions on news programs, such as Dateline, 60 Minutes, and 20/20, although I am very confident that all 3 will be on the schedule for 2014-15.  Also, know that predictions for new shows will change greatly once we have data.



VETERANS ON ALERT IN 2013-14:
Two and a Half Men
Bones
Community
Parenthood
Law & Order: SVU
The Apprentice
The Mentalist
The Good Wife

2013 TV Upfront Renewals and Cancellations

-NBC has decided to cancel four of its comedies.  Up All Night and 1600 Penn were pretty much just formalities, and Guys With Kids was not surprising.  On the other hand, Whitney was a bubble show that I had actually pegged as a renewal in my final projections.  Grimm is now the last surviving member of the NBC Class of 2011-12.

- Meanwhile, NBC renewed Parks & Recreation for a sixth season.  It will be NBC's oldest comedy next season and will likely have to anchor a block.

- CBS reached a deal with the cast to bring Criminal Minds back for a ninth season.

- FOX, in what was already certain, has canceled Touch.

- The CW renewed Nikita, as expected.  It will air a short 6 episode season per both Dateline and TV By the Numbers.  Surprisingly, it also renewed The Carrie Diaries, which I had given a 0% chance of renewal.  Where will it fit everything?

Will There Be a How To LIve With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life) Season 2

How to Live With Your Parents had a late premiere.  It has had solid, but volatile ratings in the few episodes that it has aired.  My guess is that ABC will wait to see tonight's ratings to make a decision.  As I said on the posts concerning Malibu Country and The Neighbors, ABC may have to squeeze one comedy that deserves a renewal out of one.  With that said, here is what I think is likely based on tonight's ratings:

2.1 demo or above: RENEWED
1.8-2.0 demo: TOSS-UP
1.7 demo or below: CANCELED

However, I have to make an official pick without that datum, and I will say:

Prediction:
RENEW

Confidence:
60%

Will There Be a Betty White's Off Their Rockers Season 3?

Reality renewals are notoriously hard to predict (and I am one of the only people who even try to do so), but I will say that Off Their Rockers is great spackle that NBC should have around.  For a show that costs little to make, it averaged a decent 1.43 rating in its second season.  However, NBC may do a number of things with it.  It could move it to summer (a partial renewal), air it as midseason filler, or completely dump it.  Betty White is also 91 years old, and she could want to stop making the show at any point (or she could even die).  Ultimately, this one is impossible to predict.

Prediction:
RENEW

Confidence:
51%
