ABC premiered Betrayal: Secrets & Lies to abysmal numbers. The question now is, will the rest of the series air, or will the network yank it? RJ Decker lost another one hundred thousand viewers it couldn't afford. Fans should probably prepare for bad news. Will Trent was down one hundred thousand viewers. The Rookie was up one hundred thousand viewers. Scrubs was even.

DMV lost two hundred thousand viewers after the cancellation. FBI was down four hundred thousand viewers. CIA was down one hundred thousand viewers.

NBC had a quiet week. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins lost more viewers last. It was down another two hundred thousand viewers. That sure renewal from a few weeks ago is starting to look like less of a safe bet. Law & Order returned after a couple of weeks off, down two hundred thousand viewers. Law & Order: SVU was down four hundred thousand viewers. Both shows are still likely to get renewals. The Hunting Party returned after the same two-week break and picked up a million viewers. That may have been too little too late, though.

CBS has made all of its decisions. The remaining networks aren't too far behind. Upfronts are in a month. Will your favorite shows be back next season?
