Shows With Uncertain Futures:

Crossing Jordan: Snitching sources claim Crossing Jordan’s livelihood depends on how strong NBC’s new pilots turn out to be.

Gilmore Girls: Whether or not Alexis B, who plays Rory Gilmore, decides to reprise her role is the biggest deciding factor in determining if the show will have a Season Eight.

She hasn’t signed a new contract, and Lauren Graham won’t do another season without her beloved television daughter.

How I Met Your Mother: “We haven’t heard officially yet about a third season, but we’re pretty confident,” says show runner Carter Bays. “The show has grown considerably this year, both creatively and in the ratings, and I expect season three—should we get one—to be even bigger and better. We’re cautiously optimistic.”

Jericho: According to CBS tattles, there is strong support for Jericho within the higher ranks of the peeper network.

Medium: “I don’t see why not,” an NBC network insider dishes. “It’s in a very tough time slot [at 10 p.m. against Lost and CSI: New York], but its ratings have been consistent.” Indeed, the show pulled in 8.67 million viewers for its last original episode earlier this month, a respectable number considering its competition. The cast and the crew, however, are not counting their chickens. Earlier this week, I spoke with Patricia Arquette, who said, regarding its chances of a third season, “This a grind. It’s a major undertaking, but I love everyone involved, and we have a good time. But I think that there’s always a higher power at work, and so I’ll be okay either way.”

One Tree Hill: Show Creator Mark Schwahn says, “Here we go again…Back on the bubble. As you know, I announced months ago that if we get a fifth season, we’re going to skip college and jump ahead four years. I’d love the opportunity to take this unprecedented step with One Tree Hill and give the best fans in the world a chance to continue the journey with the best cast on television.” Also, I’ve heard from lots of you One Tree Hill fans, and yes, it’s true, new episodes return on May 2, not this month as planned. According to my source, the CW is using the slot to make an additional push to the The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll, which is doing well for them in the ratings.

Six Degrees:

Supernatural: This show’s in trouble.

What About Brian: Sources tatttle ABC loves this show, but the rating suck.

Code Red:

The Class: Though it started out at a D-, The Class actually improved to a B+ over the course of the season. So, it looked like it might survive…until…whammo! Rules of Engagement premiered to strong ratings. And I’m pretty sure (unless you fans help) Class will be dismissed.

Close to Home: CBS insiders suggest this show isn’t likely to return, but the show’s devoted fans are hoping it sticks around—and star Jennifer Finnigan seconds that emotion. “I hope to see our show go for another season, mostly because I know we have so many more interesting stories to tell,” she tells me. “Who knows? Maybe Annabeth may even get a love life in season three!”

The Nine: Stick a fork in it. Sorry, I loved this show, too. But I’m pretty sure there’s nothing anyone can do to save this one.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: Sources claim with fan support, this show could get another season.

Veronica Mars: With rumors that supporting castmembers were told the series was canceled and the Pussycat Dolls’ well-rated reality series (blech) blowing Veronica out of the Nielsens water (double blech), it isn’t looking good for Veronica Mars. Says creator Rob Thomas, “Last year I was 70-30, thinking the show would be saved. This year, I have been holding steady at 60-40. But lately, I’ve become less than that.” If Veronica does return, it would likely become an FBI show with the feisty Miss Mars flashing forward four years into the future. (Which sounds pretty damn awesome to at least one fan.)
