I saw that one coming but was kinda hoping it would last a bit longer because i thought it had the foundation to improve.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D gets unsurprising full season order.

I think there are quite few shows in trouble from the first few weeks. I expect to see the following end this season:
Revolution
Revenge
Ironside (probably wont make the season)
Nashville
Beauty and the Beat (how that got a second series is beyond me)
The Mindy Project
Revolution
Revenge
Ironside (probably wont make the season)
Nashville

The Mindy Project

Same here
Personally i always thought Revenge had a short shelf life because of the plot.

Revenge won't be cancelled, the fact that it will only need 1 more season for the big syndication bucks to roll in will keep it alive at least through season 4.

What are those predictions based on? Viewing figures?
I like all 3 but especially Nashville and hope it does survive.

Agreed, even if Revenge tanks this season, they'll squeeze out one more season to get it into syndication.
Betrayal on the other hand probably won't see out the month of October, unless they're stuck for something to fill it's slot but I'd be very surprised if it comes back even if they are taking the cable approach with it and only producing 13 episodes a year. Hostages, Dads, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Welcome to the Family are the other new shows that I can't see making it past their initial 13 episode orders if they're not yanked off air before that (Welcome to the Family being the main contender to be off the air within weeks).

Two seasons max i thought, not keen on the touchy feely soapie third season so far.

Yes especially the demo scores. I also enjoy Nashville and revenge so do hope both stay on.
The Originals, The Tomorrow People and Reign have all been given three extra episodes by The CW
Reign has not even aired yet, so The CW clearly have a lot of faith in it.

Tomorrow People - WTF! This must have been caused by some kind of scheduling cock up / another project crashing and burning as TP is so dire I expected it to die within the month.

Till I saw the pilot episode. Nostalgia I'm afraid
I haven't seen it yet, but i know what a bad pilot can do in terms of putting you off a show as a whole.
The CW got half way to getting it right this year.
Supernatural got 2.6million viewers for its ninth season premiere - that's one of the highest rated episodes in years and actually across the whole network outside 'Arrow' and 'Vampire Diaries'.
They need to stick with the genre shows but STOP trying to make them teen genre shows. Thier audience, their market really doesn't buy into the teen romance crap anymore. Look how hard Gossip Girl and 90210 fell.
The network should have one night that is dedicated to all that stuff and then use actually darker, grittier genre stuff like Arrow/Supernatural.

Supernatural has a very loyal tight fanbase and for a show in it's ninth season, it doesn't feel stale at all because of it's ever growing mythology.

Or making it up as they go along?

Caitlin Stasey back on my telly! I'm looking forward to it, although I suspect it'll be rubbish.

I thought the mythology growth ended in season 5.

Wow, the Aussies have flocked to The CW this season!

Fox do suprise me. If this was 10 years ago, they would of axed it immediatley. FOX were known for getting rid of their shows rather quickly at one point.
Us & Them has had it's order cut. It was given 13 episodes but FOX have ended production after only 7 episodes. Apparently they have told the cast and crew to already look for other work
Very worrying considering it hasn't aired
I am wondering if this is gonna be this year's The Goodwin Games. They did the same to that show and it never aired until May

That's ominous. It makes me think someone higher up in company, just got round to seeing the pilot and decided it just doesn't work.
