Is it still/already confirmed that this is _Law & Order: Criminal Intent_’s last season?

FWIW, American Idol released dates/cities for auditions on this weeks episodes. I guess they can always be cancelled.

Pretty sure you’ve got The Cape one category higher than it should be. There is 0% chance of it returning (sorry Abed!)

Boy, I’m glad I made the decision not to invest in _The Event_. I’ve been burned to many times by those high-concept shows that get cancelled after one season (see: Flashforward).

Does anyone know why CBS is dragging their hells on re-newing the Good Wife? I know it’s not a ratings blockbuster, but it wins awards. And it rocks. I have to assume CBS has a no-female-leads policy, or perhaps a no-shows-that-aren’t-total-garbage policy.

I thought flashforward had a satisfactory ending for the most part.

House is renewed? Yay. I’m not surprised they came to an agreement. The show is too lucrative for Universal and Fox not to renew… And I understand that Hugh Laurie, Olivia Wilde, Omar Epps, and Robert Sean Leonard all have contracts signed to return. The rest are merely a formality. Leonard’s signing is particularly good news. House needs his Wilson.

I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that “Lie to Me” is the only show I liked that is being canceled.

I think this is just a not-yet-official version: there’s no way in hell ABC isn’t renewing _Dancing with the Stars_ and _The Bachelor_, which are reliable hits for them. Ditto for _Good Wife_.

I wanted to see how much of a disaster David E. Kelly’s “Wonder Woman” was going to be. I guess it was such a disaster, it didn’t even get picked up.

I’d hope/assume _Hawaii 5-0_ fits that category as well.

I’m still rooting hard for **Off the Map** , but it’s not looking good ☹ Maybe being created by the same person as Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice will help.

But on the plus side, I’m excited about the upcoming series **Grimm**. I’ve always wanted there to be a _Law and Order: Fantasy Creatures Unit_, and this is about as close as we’ll ever get to that.

_Grimm_ sounds somewhat a little bit like _Lost Girl_.

Fine by me, I love **Lost Girl**. (season 2 airs in September, by the way)

I never saw Mr. Sunshine, but apparently Matthew Perry is taking the bad news somewhat hard, as he mentioned today that he’s going to re-enter a rehab/retreat center to “remain focused on my sobriety.”

Though I guess it’s nice to hear of at least one celeb not looking for an excuse to go on a self-pity induced bender.

(that said, did I read here on SDMB that he is supposedly a pretty arrogant guy in person, or am I thinking of one of his other “Friends” male co-stars?)

</div>

_Better With You_ was a big bag and half of steaming dull suck. I like to see those shows canceled just so it frees up money for something that might be good.

I liked _Mr. Sunshine_ - well, I didn’t hate it, anyway. It was rather predictable, but I still watched.

_Mad Love_ falls into the same category for me. I still watch.

I’m stunned that _Mike And Molly_ is looking good. I watched a couple of times and it seemed to be just: look, they’re fat, that is \*so \*funny!

I don’t know why, but I wanted to like _No Ordinary Family_, but I stopped watching after the 4 or 5 week.

I always record _Rules Of Engagement_ but usually nap through it - it does have some hot women.

I won’t miss _Sh#t My Dad Says_ if they drop it.

I think all my other shows were picked up.
