A complete guide to what's in and out on the networks

60 MinutesJust in time for the May upfronts (that time of year when all of the networks - ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and The CW - unveil their lineups for the fall), The Futon Critic has a complete guide to what shows have been renewed and what shows have been canceled for the 2007-08 season.

Most of the news isn't that surprising. We already know that shows like The Black Donnellys and Six Degrees and King of Queens are ending, and that shows like Lost, Bones, and 30 Rock have been renewed. However, I wasn't aware that Men in Trees had already been renewed, and isn't it a little odd to put 60 Minutes in the "Fate To Be Determined" category? I would assume it's definitely renewed.

There's also a very handy guide to all of the pilots that are currently in development (at the top), so you can see what shows just might replace your favorites.

I cant believe NBC is cancelling The Black Donelly's... it was the best show on tv. why did they give up on the show so easally? it was doing great on iTunes

And indeed the Futon Critic piece says that `Studio 60` is on the `To Be Determined` list. On the other hand they list `The Black Donnelly`s` as cancelled.

On the whole though I`m not entirely convinced of the usefulness of the Futon Critic list - The Nine, Knights of Prosperity, Big Day, Help Me Help You and Extreme Makeover `to be determined` but In Case of Emergency definitively cancelled tells me there`s something screwy with it.

I suspect the deal that NBC and Warner made midseason to extend the original order for "Studio 60" to a full season was at a substantially reduced license fee. I bet Warner elected to finish production at break-even or a loss in hopes for secondary markets (this won't do well on DVD, but whatever) and a second season (fat chance, though ABC did renew ratings-challenged "What About Brian" last year).

With all the TBD's on this doc, it's not really as useful as you imply.

Since Studio 60 is still in production and the remaining episodes aren't available online (like The Black Donnellys), I'd say that its cancellation, while likely, isn't a sure thing.
