Fate’s Of Your Favorite Shows? EW’s Michael Ausiello’s Renewal Scorecard

In the world of TV gossip there is one big name, and it is EW’s Michael Ausiello. He produces nice little tidbits of information every day, and then also releases a Q&A every week called “Ask Ausiello”. Well, today he put up something nice that I thought you guys might be interested in.  It is a list of all the shows on network TV right now, and what their status is. Let’s take a look, and I’ll chime in if I think differently.
