Last year, NBC had 19 shows up for review, and only cancelled five, three of which were new and two were just past their S4/S5 syndication dates. 

Returning shows that I think are safe for renewal:

• Blindspot
• Chicago Fire
• Chicago Med
• Chicago P.D.
• Great News
• Law and Order SVU
• Superstore
• Taken
• The Blacklist
• The Good Place
• This is Us
• Trial and Error

Returning shows I think will be cancelled:

• Shades of Blue – no way this makes it to syndication;
• Timeless – it was so close to cancellation, it actually WAS cancelled and then reversed when there was nothing else to replace it in the schedule, likely won’t get a third chance;

New shows that I think will make it:

• Champions – Two and a Half Men found an audience, this should find the same one even without Charlie Sheen;
• Rise – Mr. Holland’s Opus meets Glee, yep, it might find an audience;
• Will and Grace – duh;

New shows that I think will get cancelled:

• The Brave – Elite undercover military heroes…umm, no;
• A.P. Bio – bio teacher using nerds to attack the person who stole his dream job…umm, also no;
• Good Girls – Thelma and Louise meets Breaking Bad? … can I get a “hell, no”?
• Law & Order: True Crime – great idea, lousy premise for the case;
• Reverie – Save people from a VR game? Love the premise, hate its chances;

As always, red indicates shows I watch or will give a chance.
