CBS had a few surprises last week with its renewal of Elementary. Fans of the show got a reprieve as the low-rated series somehow squeaked a renewal. Fans of Criminal Minds:Beyond Borders, however, were not so lucky; the network announced the spinoff was canceled late Sunday night. The Eye will release its fall schedule on May 17. The only programs still awaiting news are Ransom, Training Day (both probably canceled) and Undercover Boss.

NBC announced its fall schedule Sunday morning, while at the same time stating no decision had been made regarding Chicago Justice or the comedy series Trial & Error. Chances are the possible renewal of both series' is down to license fees or other monetary consideration. As far as ratings are concerned, Chicago Justice, at least, seemed to be an easy renewal decision to make. First Dates was not on the fall schedules and is canceled.

FOX announces its fall schedule May 15 and there are several programs still awaiting news. Masterchef Junior, 24: Legacy , and Prison Break should get renewed. Shots Fired is iffy at best. FOX also managed to surprise everyone with a renewal of The Exorcist , one does have to wonder if the plan is to have The Exorcist and The X-Files share the same timeslot next season.
