From USA Today:
“Save Our
Shows 2021: Is your favorite series canceled, renewed or ‘on the bubble’?”
Decision time
is here again. Major broadcast networks are weighing the fates of 25 endangered
sitcoms and dramas, hovering "on the bubble" between renewal and
cancellation. USA TODAY's 24th annual Save Our Shows poll asks you to weigh in
on which you'd like saved – and which dropped – as the networks set their
2021-2022 schedules to be unveiled in mid-May. Last year's winner: NBC's
"Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist," the musical drama that is once again
"on the bubble" due to modest ratings and high costs. Many factors go
into renewal decisions, including Nielsen ratings, creative quality,
profitability, digital viewership and program ownership. The coronavirus pandemic, which shuttered
production of pilot episodes for new series replacements last spring, remains a
factor, but network executives say it's less critical this year in determining
the fate of series. Instead, it may impact when (not if) they continue: NBC's
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" was renewed last spring for what was planned as
its final season. The pandemic prevented a return to production until this
month, so 10 remaining episodes won't air until fall. And CW's "Supernatural,"
due to end in May 2020, delayed its final episodes until last fall.
