TV Guide put together an odds sheet to determine what television shows are the safest best for surviving the season. Luckily, Moonlight got an 8 out of 10 (phew). Where does your show fall?
Aliens in America
The bad news: The ratings suck.
The good news: The show doesn’t. It’s really funny. And smart. And the CW knows it.
Odds of Survival: 3
Back to You
The bad news: It didn’t experience enough of an American Idol bump back in February to make it a lock for next season.
The good news: Fox is as enamored of the show as Kelsey Grammer’s character is enamored of himself.
Odds of Survival: 7
Big Shots
The bad news: Horrible show + even worse ratings = buh-bye.
The good news: Lots of really talented actors are free to appear in better TV shows!
Odds of Survival: 0
Boston Legal
The bad news: That cast doesn’t come cheap. And they’ll come even less cheap next year.
The good news: It continues to be a solid, if not spectacular, performer for ABC.
Odds of Survival: 6
Cane
The bad news: Nestor Carbonell is back on Lost!
The good news: Nestor Carbonell is back on Lost!
Odds of Survival: 2
Cashmere Mafia
The bad news: Viewers gave it a lukewarm reception and critics give it a downright chilly one, making Mafia a likely candidate for getting whacked.
The good news: One less Sex and the City clone to clog up the airwaves!
Odds of Survival: 0
Cavemen
The bad news: Oh, where to begin….
The good news: I can stop feeling sorry for the inimitable Julie White. She deserves better, and maybe now she’ll get it!
Odds of Survival: 0
Eli Stone
The good news: Following Desperate Housewives, it scored its highest ratings since its premiere. Even more importantly, ABC loves it!
The bad news: Eli needs to hang onto the extra viewers it gleaned from Desperate when it returns to its regular Thursday time slot tonight.
Odds of Survival: 7
