For the past week, the mass premieres of Home Free, Boston EMS, and Save My Life: Boston Trauma came by with warped speed. The ratings for all three shows are not too terrible especially since Boston EMS is on Saturday. More than likely I will hold off on making any renewal or cancelation predictions until I see one or two more weeks of their ratings. For this they'll start as Toss Ups to be canceled or renewed. 

BattleBots' finale held steady in the ratings. At this point there is no chance that the show will be canceled, so I have upgraded it to a Certain Renewal.

Boom! is not so lucky. With a decline to a 0.6 A18-49 rating, I'm more inclined to believe that cancelation is inevitable. The show is now a Certain Cancelation. 

CW shows Penn & Teller: Fool Us and Whose Line is it Anyway? have been steady in the ratings with 0.4 and 0.5 A18-49 ratings respectively. That's great for summer standards on the network. But I'm holding on for another week, hence the Likely Renewal predictions.

UPDATE: After Penn & Teller: Fool Us rose to a final 0.6 A18-49 rating (and a preliminary 0.7), and a repeat of Whose Line scored a 0.4, I have upgraded them to "certain to be renewed". Obviously with those ratings, expect them to stick around for anther season.
