It's not easy for whatsoever TV show — whether new or returning — to avoid the ax. Some start out strong and stop up losing viewers over time, while others just can't make information technology work in their freshman season. Plus, every bit audiences know all likewise well, cancellations aren't always predictable. While some seem doomed correct from the start, others remain on the bubble for some time.

In the coming months, all v major TV networks will have to decide which entries from their lineup — from sitcoms to fantasy dramas — volition get officially pulled. Here'south a look at xiv shows that may exist counting this TV flavor every bit their last.

1. Ten Days in the Valley

Fifty-fifty before it premiered, star Kyra Sedgwick knew no one had heard about this freshman drama. The lack of fizz in the lead-up to its premiere is reflected in its extremely low ratings. The prove is not only ABC's lowest-performing new series, information technology's also the lowest-performing evidence in its unabridged lineup period.

ABC has already taken the offset stride toward cancellation, moving the underperforming series from Dominicus to the low-trafficked Saturday nighttime after merely 4 episodes. The series is being pulled from Sundays effective immediately and will accept a break before starting its Saturday run in December.

2. Me, Myself & I

Well, that was quick. CBS's freshman generational one-act, starring Bobby Moynihan, is essentially dead after just six episodes, making it the first of the fall 2017 Boob tube season to hit the chopping block. The network yanked the show from its lineup, post-obit weeks of low viewership (an average of 4.96 million viewers put it among the lowest of every CBS show) and a mediocre 1.0 score in the key 18-49 demo.

Though the bear witness likely won't be getting another flavour, CBS reports the comedy "will render to the schedule at a later engagement" — which typically ways viewers can wait the network to fire off the remaining episodes in a different, less popular time slot.

iii. 9JKL

Another CBS comedy that'southward probable to bite the grit is 9JKL, the sitcom loosely inspired past star Mark Feuerstein and his family unit. The evidence earned negative reviews and hasn't done much improve in ratings.

It's currently pulling an average of 6.1 million viewers and a .80 demo score, which, while seemingly not terrible, is far from the lofty standards of the network that'due south dwelling house to juggernauts similar The Big Bang Theory. Given those figures, the show is probable in danger of getting cutting after this season.

4. The Exorcist

Flim-flam'due south second season renewal of The Exorcist came as a big surprise to many, considering how poorly the show performed the start time around. In Season 1, the prove averaged a 0.68 rating in the 18-49 age group and 1.9 one thousand thousand total viewers. That hasn't improved much in Season ii.

Despite the network's efforts, The Exorcist is currently sitting equally the lowest-rated testify in both viewership and demographic in Trick's unabridged lineup. With no signs of improving, the horror series certainly seems doomed.

five. Wisdom of the Crowd

CBS is really not having any luck with its new shows. Freshman crime drama Wisdom of the Crowd is as well struggling to find an audience, pulling in an average of 7.6 million viewers. Even more problematically, that viewership is just translating into a 0.ix score in the 18-49 demo.

Combine that with the fact that star Jeremy Piven recently faced public accusations of sexual harassment, and it's like shooting fish in a barrel to see why the network opted to pull the plug on this evidence after only 13 episodes.

6. Inhumans

Later on finishing its rather unimpressive run this fall, it seems like the writing is on the wall for Curiosity's Inhumans. To say the show earned both less attention and praise than the visitor's other Tv series is an understatement. The disquisitional response was downright dismal (seriously, just expect at that 8% on Rotten Tomatoes).

Considering nobody can finish talking well-nigh how terrible the show is, information technology'due south no surprise its ratings are as bad. The season finale matched a serial low of ane.95 million viewers and a weak 0.5 rating in the coveted eighteen-49 demo. To put that in perspective, Marvel's Agent Carter  wrapped up its second season with an boilerplate of 2.35 million viewers and was still canceled.

At this point, the only possible reason for this prove to keep is because it's tied to a larger, powerful brand. If Disney intervenes, Inhumans could find itself safe, although we're not betting on it.

7. The Brave

In improver to earning mostly negative reviews in its debut season, NBC'south undercover armed forces drama is only performing modestly so far. The bear witness has earned an average of v.1 million viewers and a i.0 rating in the eighteen-49 demo — not terrible, only not exactly smashing either.

Depending on the rest of the season, the drama could find itself in trouble. For at present, The Brave's fate remains a flake of a toss-up.

viii. Dandy News

NBC surprised many by opting to renew this well-reviewed, merely low-rated comedy for a 2d season. Unfortunately, Season ii hasn't improved much in viewership, despite once over again earning great reviews.

The show is earning an average of 3.nine 1000000 viewers this season and a 0.9 in the key demo. Given that the network already gave information technology a 2nd chance and other potentially more than successful comedies are on deck for bound, it doesn't look like "great news" (pardon the pun) for this prove after all.

9. Valor

Armed services dramas don't seem to be panning out for whatsoever networks this season. Like The Brave, The CW's Valor hasn't been able to draw much of an audition so far. Though the show has been pulling in an average of 1.02 1000000 viewers so far this flavor, its rating amid the primal xviii-49 demo is a very low 0.23.

Unless those numbers improve (and fast), the freshman series may find itself on the chopping block sooner rather than later.

10. Brooklyn Nine-Ix

The veteran police comedy is currently the second everyman-rated testify on Fox's lineup, earning an boilerplate of 1.vii million viewers and a 0.65 demo score. That puts information technology in jeopardy of cancellation, especially when combined with the fact that the series will cross its 100-episode mark in early 2018 and is already ready for a streaming deal on Hulu and syndication on TBS.

Since it's non really calculation much to Fox'due south bottom line at this point, it seems unlikely the channel will bring information technology back for another season.

11. In one case Upon a Fourth dimension

Once Upon a Fourth dimension | ABC

This was one time 1 of ABC's biggest hits, but it's at present a shadow of its quondam self. Following the deviation of several of its main stars afterward Flavour half-dozen, the network decided to try to reinvent the show without them in Season 7. So far, that doesn't seem to be working out very well.

The show is the second worst-performing testify in ABC'due south lineup, barely beating 10 Days in the Valley with an average of 2.5 million viewers and a 0.4 score. That's low, even for its Friday night fourth dimension slot. With that in listen, information technology's likely this long-running fantasy drama will come across its stop after this flavor.

12. Kevin (Probably) Saves the World

Information technology looks like Kevin really isn't saving the globe yet. The ABC freshman comedy's ratings then far oasis't been very strong, garnering an average of 3.1 1000000 viewers and 0.75 demo score. That being said, viewers shouldn't write the show off just still.

Despite being amid the network's lowest-performing series (and its actual lowest-rated comedy), Kevin got an boosted three-episode order from ABC in November — a small simply definite sign of conviction that may have been partially spurred by the show'due south decent reviews.

Depending on how the rest of the season pans out, the prove could have a shot at a renewal, merely isn't a certain thing.

13. The Blacklist

Consider NBC'southward veteran series, The Blacklist, on the chimera. The drama isn't doing besides corking ratings-wise (an boilerplate of 5.half-dozen 1000000 viewers and a 0.nine demo), merely that actually isn't very far off from Season 4's ratings.

There'south too the Netflix cistron to consider. The service is currently paying $two 1000000 an episode to include information technology in its streaming collection. That, combined with its relatively steady ratings, could be enough motivation for NBC to keep information technology around for at to the lowest degree one more round of episodes, just fans will have to wait to find out for sure.

14. The Terminal Human on Earth

Play tricks's The Final Homo on Earth is likewise facing an uncertain future, although the network'southward decision could get either way every bit of now. Information technology'southward far from a large ratings winner, only it besides hasn't dipped much since last flavor, with a current average of two.0 1000000 viewers and 0.85 demo score.

Though it's not definitively on the chopping block, the lackluster ratings mean information technology's also not rubber from the ax.
