Some of the results are no surprise, but at least one hit show hasn’t been renewed yet, according to The New York Times:
CBS has renewed 11 series in total. “Cold Case,” “Ghost Whisperer,” “NUMB3RS,” “Two and a Half Men,” and “Without a Trace” were also renewed by CBS.
CSI Franchises are all in, along with Criminal Minds, NCIS, and The Big Bang Theory. Cane is likely to get canceled (which is no loss, from what I’ve heard) and Moonlight’s future is uncertain.
But one renewal I’m astonished not to see: How I Met Your Mother. The show was consistent in the ratings, ranking above it’s competitor at NBC (but usually losing to Dancing With the Stars). The critics are in love with it, everyone I know who watches it absolutely loves it. Why would CBS be hesitant to renew? Are there contract negotiations we don’t know about?

It would be a shame if HIMYM doesn’t get renewed. It’s a great show with a great cast.
This would be the second year in a row that it is on the bubble like this. Maybe they should try to wrap the show up this season if they get renewed.
Is this the one with Doogie Howser dude in it? That show really isn’t funny, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it gets the axe.
