    I'm really surprised about My Name is Earl, first I heard about this.

    Yeah, I'm fearing the worst for Terminator.

    But at least Ghost Whisperer (though it's not listed), The Big Bang Theory, and Family Guy are safe.

    My friend is going to be disappointed if she found out Ugly Betty might get cancelled.

    That's too bad about The Unit getting close to the chopping block. My parents love the show and it's apparently really gearing up for serious stuff this year. Hopefully the ratings will improve.

    Prison Break
    shouldn't have even gotten to the point where its cancellation becomes likely. It should have ended after season two. I feel no sympathy for this one.

    My family was loving Nightrider. My Name is Earl? Ugly Betty? Wow. As for Terminator, I think it'll stick around to drum up business for Terminator: Salvation.

    As much as I'd love to see CSI: Miami get the ax, E's The Soup just wouldn't be the same without fresh David Caruso material.

    Interesting, but where is this info from? Ratings can't be disputed, but I'd like to know who grouped them and how much one should trust the information. Earl is not really a top performer, but it has done well enough for NBC to show faith in it in the past.

    If NBC can stick with Scrubs (and jerk it around for 7 years like they did with 3rd Rock From the Sun), I think they can do the same for Earl.

    Yea Im surprised to see Earl on the cancellation likely category, I always thought it did alright enough to stay around until its ended. The only other ones are Terminator and Prison Break. I still enjoy the show but Prison Break should've ended when there is no more prison thus the title makes no sense( save for season 2 ). Terminator I see ending probably after tonights episode.

    *pouts for ER*

    I'll have to agree with the people who're saying that Prison Break should've ended.
    Never made much sense to me how they could keep going. :/

    I know Earl's viewership is bad, but it has to bring in tons of Southern People/Californians! I'd hate if it gets cancelled, espeically if Kevin Smith is unable to get on the show (him guest starting as Silent Bob with Jay would be an awesome episode, consdiering Jason Lee has been in almost every View Askew movie).

    Fortunatly, I think Kath and Kim will be cancelled first. I couldn't even make it half way through, and doesn't fit well with the other NBC comedies

    None of the cancelled shows are really that suprising. Cold Case and Ugly Betty seem like unlikely shows to cancel, and the bottom list is pointless imo

    I wasn't even aware that the show had premiered.

    The show's had a good 15 year run, best to end it now before it turns into The Simpsons where it's just kept going just for the sake of keeping it going.

    It hasn't, it premieres on Thursday at 8:30 ET.

    I thought E.R. should have ended about six seasons ago. Once they killed off Dr. Greene, that was pretty much the signal it should have ended. The subsequent seasons were pretty dull.

    Good to hear my new favorite show, Fringe, is safe! As for Sarah Connor- I'm sorry, but that completely lost the luster of it's first season. Now it's just gotten stupid in my opinion.

    Nothing on Fox Network is save.

    Fox Network has axed more good shows for no reason, even if the ratings were good, than most networks have ever made.

    FX on the other hand knows how to keep their series.

    I meant safe as in "So far, so good, they're happy for now."

    I am well aware of Fox's bad rep with tv shows... I am a fan of Tru Calling and
    Futurama,
    after all.
