FRESHMAN SCORECARD: May 2014

Final Freshman Scorecard of the season! Check back often for upfront news and commentary! As always, these are ranked from best to worst chance of survival.

Past May scorecards: 2013   2012   2011

ABC

The Goldbergs/Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D./Resurrection - All are sure thing renewals but I guess I wouldn't be shocked if Resurrection was held until midseason again.

The Great Christmas Light Fight - Could be used as filler.

Mixology - If rumors are to be believed, this show has a better chance than one might think. ABC has renewed low rated "edgy" comedies like this before but who knows.

Trophy Wife - Looks like if one low rated comedy gets a renewal, it'll be Mixology over this one despite its critical love.

Black Box - Too early to tell and it's actually more of a summer show that just started early, but it'll have to stay pretty steady to have a chance at a second season.

Super Fun Night/Betrayal/Killer Women - Basically cancelled.

Mind Games/Once Upon a Time in Wonderland/Back in the Game/Lucky 7/The Assets - Cancelled.

CBS

The Millers/Mom - Renewed

Friends with Better Lives/Bad Teacher - It's still pretty early to tell with these two, especially Bad Teacher which has aired just one episode. But I guess I wouldn't be shocked to see one of them renewed and it seems like CBS is more invested in Friends.

The Crazy Ones - It's not looking good at all.

Hostages/Intelligence - As good as gone.

We Are Men - Cancelled.

NBC

The Blacklist/Chicago PD - Renewed.

About a Boy - Despite the ugly drop on Tuesday night, this is a sure bet for renewal but I'd be surprised if it got the post-Voice slot again.

Growing Up Fisher - Less of a chance than About a Boy but it's still ahead of anything NBC has tried on Thursday so we'll see.

Dracula - Again, the cheap co-production aspects make this a toss-up but the ratings don't warrant a renewal.

Believe/Crisis - Next to no chance of returning as NBC has plenty of dramas.

Welcome to the Family/Ironside/Sean Saves the World/The Michael J. Fox Show - Cancelled.

FOX

Sleepy Hollow/Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Renewed.

Dads/Surviving Jack - It seems entirely possible that one or both of these shows could get renewed considering their demos are not any worse than New Girl and The Mindy Project.

Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - Really intended as a limited run and it'll be just that.

Enlisted/Rake - Basically cancelled.

Almost Human - Cancelled.
