Continuing our look around the dial at bubble shows, the television shows still to be given the thumbs-up or thumbs-down for another season, ABC is next.

There are seven shows to be assessed. Overall, ABC has had a lot to be happy about this past season, especially the Wednesday night sitcom successes lead by the award-winning 'Modern Family.'

But amid the positives were the negatives, like 'the forgotten.' The Christian Slater action show was most definitely forgotten by viewers despite the Jerry Bruckheimer production. Looking ahead, here are the shows that ABC has yet to either cancel or renew thus far:

1. 'V' The ratings have not been what ABC had hoped for, but the sci-fi buzz for 'V' has been better than 'FlashForward,' and conventional wisdom in the biz is that one of these two ABC dramas will survive, if only so ABC can say one of its drama series made it this season. HitFlix suggested that 'V' warrants a better shot than it received from ABC, and we're inclined to agree.

2. 'FlashForward' All hope that 'FlashForward' would be the next 'Lost' faded after the showy debut and the ratings started to tumble. Despite a fascinating idea, 'FlashForward' has never caught fire with the audience -- not the way 'Lost' did. Hurting the prospects for a pick up is the size and scope of the show; it's too expensive for it not to be a popular success. When ABC adds it all up, 'V' is more likely for a renewal and 'FlashForward' will be a goner.

3. 'Romantically Challenged' As HitFix noted, the ratings have been decent for 'Romantically Challenged.' Better than the reviews, actually. Considering the quality of the cast – including Alyssa Milano and Kyle Bornheimer – ABC might stick with 'Romantically Challenged' with a mid-season pick up. Not a great vote of confidence, but a chance to re-jiggered and make the show better.

4. 'Happy Town' Although it's only recently premiered, things have not been happy for this mystery drama. It didn't even have the initial fascination of a 'Twin Peaks,' and ABC didn't help by sticking it in the Wednesday, 10 PM timeslot that was a graveyard for 'Ugly Betty.' 'Happy Town' has little chance to get picked up, but a good chance at being played out over the summer to resolve the mystery ... like CBS did with 'Harper's Island,' another wreck of a mystery show.

5. 'The Deep End' Do you even remember this legal drama? Don't chastise yourself; the ratings indicated that virtually nobody was watching. Collider.com thought it was already axed. To be honest, canceling 'The Deep End' is just a formality. It has no chance of coming back.

6. 'Better Off Ted' It would great if ABC decided to damn the ratings and renew 'Better Off Ted.' However, don't hold your breath. 'Ted' has a passionate fan base, but not a large one. If it were a cable show, the numbers would matter less and it would run. Alas, unless it migrates to another network, it's doomed. Too bad Fox doesn't snap it up; it has yet to develop a sitcom that's not animated.

7.'Scrubs' What are the chances that ABC would rescue 'Scrubs' one more time? Slim and none. Zach Braff has said on Facebook that the show's finished, and he's in a position to know.
