I would say Melrose Place, but that's already gotten a full season pickup. So my vote goes to The Forgotten.
 
The vibes I'm getting are for Eastwick to get the chop. I don't think Dollhouse should be on the list because it's technically been cancelled already, just Fox has promised to air all the produced episodes. Same diff.

Why Fringe?

TV Guide is listing Fringe as a "bubble" show, due to the ratings slide this season.

I feel the shows most deserving of the cancellation are Brothers and 'Til Death, which are being shelved along with Dollhouse for November sweeps. However, Fox may be slow to pull the plug on them, so my vote goes to The Forgotten.
 
I'll say Hank because it has Kelsey Grammer playing a character not named Fraiser.

As far as I know it hasn't actually been canceled. Fox decided not to show it during November sweeps but that doesn't mean they've canceled it. Granted it almost certainly will be canceled but you never know.
 
In a way, it's unfair to list FOX shows. They will often cancel shows but not formally "cancel" them, leaving its line-up full of the walking dead. That's what they did to Futurama, Tru Calling, and to a lesser extent The Critic. Many are resigned to that fate for Dollhouse. I suspect Brothers & 'Till Death are not long for this world either. I think Fringe & Melrose Place will at least last until the end of the season.

Of the non-FOX shows, I'm surprised Eastwick has lasted this long. I don't think Three Rivers has much time left either.
 
Eastwick for sure.
Dollhouse is sadly coming but its not technically there yet. Some of us hope for a type of early Christmas miracle.

Fringe should not be on the list, its very safe.
 
Eastwick is a terrible show. Too bad, too, because I was really hoping it would be decent. I watched 2 1/2 episodes and turned it off. It was torture to the point where I'd rather chew a roll of tin foil than watch another episode of that moronic and mega-boring drivel.

The Forgotten isn't a bad show, really - it's just sort of another humdrum Bruckheimer crime addition....and lord knows, we already had enough of those. Plus, I think it overlaps too closely with Cold Case...and Cold Case has alot more likable characters and great music.

I won't shed any tears at all about Dollhouse. I thought that concept was terrible - essentially condoning slavery, and peripherally, sex slavery.

And the only thing Fringe has going for it is Walter. Walter is all kinds of awesome...but the other characters (except for Olivia) get a giant 'meh' from me. And Olivia is just downright annoying. As great a character as Walter is, he can't carry an entire show on his own. They might do better in another time slot though. They are in a tough one, IMO.
