ABC posted most of its renewal news Friday afternoon. Bless The Mess somehow squeaked a second season. The Kids Are Alright, and Splitting Up Together weren't so lucky, both were cancelled. Fans of The Rookie were happy, their show was renewed. Grey's Anatomy got a two year extension, renewed through at least 2021. The Fix was cancelled, along with Speechless (no surprise there), For the People, and Whiskey Cavalier. Still no word on some of the reality shows.

NBC had most of its schedule already renewed. Fans of Blindspot get one more season. World of Dance was also renewed. This Is Us was renewed for a whopping three more seasons. That may be a first. I Feel Bad was cancelled. Still no word on Abby's, A.P. Bio, The Enemy Within, or the The Village. Abby's and probably A.P. Bio will be quietly written off when they don't appear on the Fall schedules.

FOX had a couple of shocking cancellations with the news Star and The Cool Kids were both axed. No surprise really that Lethal Weapon was cancelled, the same for Proven Innocent and The Passage. The Orville was renewed. No word yet on the reality shows, though all of them will probably be back for another season.

The CW was business as usual, all of their programs already know their fates. Network execs may start looking up if they can un-renew things like Dynasty and In The Dark. Sub-500,000 viewers is not the way to run a network, no matter what kind of deal you have with the streaming services.

Grey's Anatomy keeps running well!
Dag NCIS:LA is the lowest watched of the franchise. I hope I won't be losing one of my faves soon.
With the exception of a few established ones like Young Sheldon and Mom. You could make the argument with Big Bang as well, but I've felt that the writing has been pretty bad since season 10. I only kept watching through the series finale, hoping it would get back to how it was in the earlier seasons.
No. CBS did not have much luck with the comedies this season.
Not really surprised that Fam got canned, the few episodes I watched while giving it a chance weren't that good (in my opinion). Happy that the shows I like got renewed. :)
