Cancelled
Unforgettable
CSI Miami

NYC 22

Renewed
CSI: NY

Unforgettable I saw a couple of episodes of when it was on. Nothing special at all.
CSI Miami... in a post wire world it takes some serious crime drama for me to bother with. A few things have got close but CSI of any flavour (or is there just one?) was probably the thing that marked the turning point.

I still can't believe shit shows like Big Bang Theory, Whitney, and Glee get renewed.

But Community is still alive so I'm good. It's pretty much the only show I follow nowadays outside of Legend of Korra.
Don't hate on Glee. But Community will be on Fridays for 2012-2013 so it might as well be dead, because Fridays are normally a death slot for a show. At least Whitney is also on Fridays.

Glee is an awful and shallow waste of time. It's like God spilled and made a mess of a television show.

I enjoy Glee, though to be fair I love musicals. I mainly watch it for Lea Michele, since she's not going to be in season 4, I don't know if I will still watch it next season, I'll give the first episode a try. But anyway Glee is awesome (kinda).

Glee has taken too many great songs and just completely shat over them. Like what fuckhead over at the Glee production offices thought doing a Rocky Horror Picture Show episode was a good idea? It's fucking Glee. It's not the fucking Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I guess they just enjoy making money off of trendy hipsters and not having to pay much to writers since half their content is fucking songs they didn't even write. "Oh, we need Character X to show romantic interest in Character Y? Why waste time writing that in when we can have them do some terrible romantic duet?" At least quality shows that have musical episodes write their own goddamn music. Community had a musical episode and it was original music, Scrubs had a musical episode and it was original music. Glee just rips it from other places. It's the Moulin Rouge of shitty television.

To be fair though, they are a glee club,to my knowledge a lot of glee clubs cover songs.

I have no problem with musicals, and there's a lot I really enjoy. I just have a problem with bad musicals.

I think Glee is enjoyable at times, and sometimes (not often) it's a bit predictable and boring.

Of course they have to write scripts and "develop" characters; every single tv show does that. The problem is, the scripts and characters they have are hackneyed, cliche, poorly conceived, or trying too hard to be shocking and relevant.

Yes, I know. Well we will agree to disagree.Glee is awesome.
goodbye desperate housewives ):
I know it's sad to say goodbye to Desperate Housewives after 8 years. But it's their time to go.

CSI Miami is maybe the only one I actually cared about

Rob was just a racist show so no surprise it got cancelled

Im pretty sure CBS will keep everything else, havnt heard anything particularly bad about their other shows

With the new season a week or two away (sometimes more like three) I went and had a look back as what happened since and that does include a lot of cable stuff.
Non cable chart
http://tvdonewright.com/2012-2013-preview/2012-2013-renewal-cancellation-chart/

Apparently unforgettable is not cancelled any more ( http://tvdonewright.com/2012/06/cbs-saves-unforgettable-from-cancellation/ ) which was a bit of a shocker but not outrageous.

Sanctuary is apparently gone which was a shame although for me it was mainly a Saturday morning TV show. There are a bunch more and some of those have now been and gone as the summer has now happened.
Just the cancellations
Sanctuary
Spartacus: War Of The Damned
Breakout Kings
Dog the bounty hunter
Weeds (series 8 was the last)
John King
