Next week marks a rite ofspring: The upfronts, or the pres-entation of the broadcast net-works’ fall TV slates toadvertisers, beginning May 15.

But first comes the culling ofthe herd.

This week, programming execsare deciding the fates of on-the-bubble shows, either giving underperformers another seasonto find an audience or castingthem off to make room for whatthey hope will be new hits.

The main factors in their deci-sions: ratings trends, creative mo-mentum, profitability and theirownership stakes.

So far, the networks have beensilent about the fates of the top fivevote-getters from this year’s SaveOur Shows campaign: Timeless(NBC), Elementary (CBS), Blind-spot (NBC), Last Man Standing(ABC ) and Chicago Justice (NBC).

But in the past few days, Foxhas canceled Sleepy Hollow, Rose-wood and Pitch, while NBC issuedTaken a stay of execution, givingit a 16-episode order for the 2017-2018 season.

Check our list to see whereyour favorite shows stand. Note:All the prime-time series aregrouped in one of three catego-ries — already renewed or verylikely to return; on the bubble;and on death’s door or alreadycanceled.
