Each year, I run my own internal personal fantasy TV pool, first guessing how new shows will do based solely on their description and premise, and then updating my prediction after watching the premiere. Now that most of the cancellations are known, I want to see how I did.

For six new ABC shows, one is still undecided/unannounced. For the other five, I got 3 right on description and 4 right after watching the premiere.

• A Million Little Things (ABC) — cancellation + renewal –> RENEWED (0, 1 point);
• Single Parents (ABC) — renewal + cancellation –> RENEWED (1, 0);
• The Kids Are Alright (ABC) — renewal + cancellation –> CANCELLATION (0, 1);
• The Rookie (ABC) — renewal + renewal –> RENEWED (1, 1);
• The Fix (ABC) — cancellation + cancellaton –> CANCELLATION (1, 1);
• Whiskey Cavalier (ABC) — cancellation + cancellation –> ?

For FOX, I thought they would keep one and I went with The Cool Kids. But it didn’t really go anywhere after the initial episode. Of the four new shows, I was right for 3 at the start and the same 3 after watching the premieres.

• Rel (FOX) — cancellation + cancellation –> CANCELLATION (1, 1);
• The Cool Kids (FOX) — renewal + renewal –> CANCELLATION (0, 0);
• Proven Innocent (FOX) — cancellation + cancellation –> CANCELLATION (1, 1);
• The Passage (FOX) — cancellation + cancellation –> CANCELLATION (1, 1);

For CBS, they had a lot of new shows, with eight predictions although we only know about seven so far. For those seven, I only got three right from the description, and that only goes up to four after watching the premieres. I thought Murphy Brown might go somewhere for nostalgia sake, but I didn’t like it and nobody else did either! I didn’t think God Friended Me would catch interest and it did. Mind you, I’m shocked for FBI getting renewed, along with the Neighborhood.

• Magnum, PI (CBS) — cancellation + renewal –> RENEWED (0, 1);
• Murphy Brown (CBS) — renewal + renewal –> CANCELLATION (0, 0);
• God Friended Me (CBS) – cancellation + cancellation –> RENEWED (0, 0);
• The Neighborhood (CBS) — cancellation + cancellation –> RENEWED (1, 1);
• Happy Together (CBS) — cancellation + cancellation –> CANCELLATION (1, 1)
• FBI (CBS) — cancellation + cancellation –> RENEWED (0, 0);
• The Code (CBS) — renewal + renewal –> ?;
• Fam (CBS) — cancellation + cancellation –> CANCELLATION (1, 1);

For NBC, the outcomes are only known for 3 so far, and on those, I got 1 right on description and 2 right after watching the premieres. Surprisingly, New Amsterdam caught on.

• Manifest (NBC) — cancellation + renewal –> RENEWED (0, 1);
• New Amsterdam (NBC) — cancellation + cancellation –> RENEWED (0, 0);
• I Feel Bad (NBC) — cancellation + cancellation –> CANCELLATION (1, 1);
• The Enemy Within (NBC) — cancellation + cancellation –> ?
• Abby’s (NBC) — cancellation + cancellation –> ?
• The Village (NBC) — cancellation + cancellation –> ?

CW shows are the hardest to predict given their joint ownership by two other networks so some stuff that might not otherwise continue gets renewed. So on initial predictions for the five new shows, I only got 1 right. After watching the premieres, that went up to 3 / 5.

• All-American (CW) — cancellation + renewal –> RENEWED (0, 1);
• Charmed (CW) — cancellation + cancellation –> RENEWED (0, 0);
• Legacies (CW) — renewal + renewal –> RENEWED (1, 1);
• Roswell, New Mexico (CW) –> cancellation + renewal –> RENEWED (0, 1);
• In the Dark (CW) — cancellation + cancellation –> RENEWED (0, 0);

Overall, not so great:

• ABC: 3, 4 / 5
• FOX: 3, 3 / 4
• CBS: 3, 4 / 7
• NBC: 1, 2 / 3
• CW: 1, 3 / 5
• Total: 11, 14 / 24
