Tis the season to start feeling anxious about the fate of your favorite programs. Over the next several months, the broadcast networks will be deciding which “bubble” shows will be back next season and which will transition to the imaginary MIA Network. To help you keep track of what’s in, what’s out, and what’s in serious jeopardy, I’ve once again compiled this handy cheat sheet of the shows that are likeliest — and unlikeliest — to be renewed for the 2010-11 TV season. (I’ve also included those programs that have already been renewed.) My advice to you? Bookmark this page and check back for updates. It could be a matter of life or cancellation.
