This week, I've done some spring cleaning and decided to combine network shows and make one post for the scripted shows and one post for the reality series. 

This week, I've upgraded Astronaut Wives Club to a Toss Up, and Mistresses and Rookie Blue to likely to be canceled. The reason why is that the unscripted series ratings averages were skewing the predictions. Despite the fact that the ratings aren't that great, the Certain Cancelation predictions were too harsh. 

Dates premiered straight into the cancelation radar, with a 0.2 A18-49 rating for the premiere episode and a 0.1 A18-49 rating for episode two. An import from the UK, the show so far has aired its only season. Also, it was paired with Beauty & the Beast, which is questionable considering that the lead in has very woeful ratings to begin with. I'm expecting that sooner or later, the show will be pulled any day now.
