----------------------------------------
Human Target is very unlikely to return next fall because if American Idol is your lead in then you have very little excuse not too even break 10 million and 3.0 in the demo. FOX has tried and tried with this show but its never quite worked though the one night it could of survived ironically has been given little test...Fridays 8pm before Fringe.

Live To Dance will soon die when CBS get around to just saying "oh btw its cancelled", its been one hell of a failure. Blue Bloods has seen big increases in the total viewers but not enough in the demo to warrant moving from fridays. Next fall I expect a friday night partnership of Blue Bloods and The Good Wife 9-11.

The Middle is worthy of its 3rd season pickup up against Idol its holding at solid numbers. ABC though could do better with the lead out and I would cancel "Better With You" but for now it remains 50/50 on my Axe List. Speaking of my Axe List, newbie "Mr Sunshine" goes right into the "Likely to be Renewed" section despite the fact it will probably face some droppage next week...

I personally plan to watch it over the summer should the numbers indicate a long future

I found Mr. Sunshine disappointing... I'll probably watch it again, just to give it a fair shake, but... meh.

Modern Family had a series high in total viewers.

Mr. Sunshine is a fun show, with ABC wanting another night / block of comedy no matter what it drops it will be back. I have started to really enjoy Better With You, but the ratings just don't fit in with the other shows. However I still think Cougar Town should have been canceled, after Modern Family it should still be doing better. So BWY might have a chance for a 13 episode pick up.

And NBC really should have kept the mother L&O.

Solid debut for Mr. Sunshine. It was ok, and I'll give it at least a few more weeks because I like the cast a lot. Cougar Town's first few episodes were awful and now it's possibly my favourite comedy currently.

Looks like Mr Sunshine didn't help Off the Map any though.

I really hope BWY gets a second season too - it's consistently hilarious, again mostly because of the great cast.

As for Live to Dance, that's gotta be the lowest demo ever for a CBS show....
