Well, I don't think many people would disagree that Iris is not really working yet, and maybe not ever - that could be an albatross around the show's neck as it goes on.

Breaks even!

It is definitely weaker than last season, but still very easily within renewal range by Fox's sad, sad standards this season.

Yep. I remember ABC Family aired Friday Night Lights reruns for a couple months a few years back before pulling it because I guess like twelve people watched.

To the best of my knowledge, the only two TV shows my father has watched this year are Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey and The Blacklist. One good show out of two ain't too bad, I guess.

Watching two people constantly in love makes me feel annoyed too in a comedy for some reason, but I can like it very much in a drama (Coach and Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights are, like, my favorite ever).

Loving that my favorite new show this season, The Flash, is in the locks for next season category! I would be sad that one of my favorite shows, Parenthood, is in the weak veterans category, but they announced this as the final season back when it got renewed, so mwahaha NBC, low ratings shall not foil Parenthood

I heartily endorse Fox's disastrous failure this season if their desperation for anything that can hit above a 1.3 forces them to greenlight 24 season 10 (or, uh, 24: Live Another Day season 2, whatever).

Red Band Society and Gracepoint will be following Bad Judge and A to Z into the grave shortly (though, like them, I expect both to air their full initial orders).

Thus embracing their fate of becoming the Voice/Blacklist/Dick Wolf network.

I've never seen an episode of Bleach, but upvote anyway because I was a DBZ head in my youth and that analogy made me laugh.

I have gotten used to it, but were the choice offered I would still go back to the old design in a second.

Arrested Development was the pioneer of bleeped cursing on network sitcoms, and has never been topped. It's been ten years and I'm still laughing at Tobias's mug coming up to block his mouth just before he says "Might as well keep this makeup on, since it takes so [bleep]ing long to get off."

Looks like someone didn't lose any points… :)

Network-by-network analysis, from the network with the most reason to celebrate to the least:

I mostly agree, though I also expect Cristela to be renewed on account of a much lower renewal threshold for Friday shows. Forever and Madam Secretary I both think COULD be renewed, though it's a relatively small chance for both.

Jus In Bello definitely rules. When I first watched it, I was like, holy shit, that 42-minute CW television episode might just be the best action movie I've seen all year.
