It's that time
of year again, folks! Yep, some of your favorite shows are on the cancellation bubble and you can vote on which
ones you'd like to see next fall and ones that should go far, far away. It's an annual tradition that sometimes
predicts what shows will be renewed and which shows won't. So far you want your Scrubs.
In fact, according to the ninth annual USA Today 'Save Our Shows' survey (say that five times fast) a whopping 61 percent of you would like to see the NBC comedy renewed for a sixth season. Only fourteen percent of you want to see the show die a quick death. Scrubs is a good bet to be renewed for the fall, as long as the network is willing to pony up the increased dough to the show's production company, Touchstone Television. If NBC doesn't renew the program there is an equally good chance that Touchstone's sibling ABC (both are owned by Disney) would pick up the show.
Six more shows on the USA Today survey have more supporters than detractors: Veronica Mars (UPN), Commander in Chief (ABC), Everwood (WB), Invasion (ABC), Reba (WB) and The King of Queens (CBS). After ABC shelved Commander in Chief this week, there is a good chance that it will not be renewed; Kevin James, the star of The King of Queens, wants a bigger paycheck for the new season; and Veronica Mars and Reba are vying for spots on the new CW network, which will be a combination of the WB and UPN.
What shows have the least amount of supporters? FOX's one-camera comedies The Loop and Free Ride and UPN's Half and Half and One on One.

Is Scrubs a hit? I saw the ratings and there low. Everyone kisses the ass of the star of the show. That guy can never get bad press.

The Loop is one show that kept me howling. It is full of humor, and is a show that deserves to make it to a better time and night. Not many folks have given it a look.
I hope that you will give this fresh new show a chance in the Fall.

Are you crazy !!!!!! Scrubs is a stupid show. I can think of other shows that they should keep on the air. And they are better than Scrubs.

I'm just getting into Scrubs this season because my best friend watches it, and he's right... it's hilarious! The characters are well-defined, the asides and daydreams are funny, and the cast is great. I hope NBC keeps it around for a while longer.

Oh, please save Invasion. My favorite shows this year were Surface, Threshold and Invasion, and only Invasion has made it this far. Shaun Cassidy is doing a great job. This one is even spookier than American Gothic, which was fantastic. It is so spooky for me that I have to TIVO it and watch it the next day. Watching it before bedtime gives me spooky dreams. Love it!!!!

Please renew the West Wing series. It stimulates a positive interest in our country's executive branch of government and through it kids learn more about our executive branch than they do in an "american government class".

Scrubs is hysterical if you are alive and breathing. How can anyone think it's not funny? It's like not loving American Idol.

Commander In Chief was the only show my daughter and I went out of our way to watch, now it is off the air. ABC is making a big, big mistake! How dumb are you guys??

By far the best drama on TV is "Boston Legal"--brilliantly written, socially relevant, exquisitely acted by the ENTIRE cast: Spader, Shatner, Bergen, and Auber***ois, as well as the special and recurring "guest" stars. I only wish I could count on its offering a new episode EVERY week; I am never so disappointed as I am when I tune in only to find that it has been pre-empted by some kind of "special".
