Bob Hearts Abishola Renewed by CBS
CBS has completed a comedy grand slam, renewing their last remaining comedy, Bob Hearts Abishola, for a fifth season. Though the series is the lowest-rated of the network's half-hour sitcoms, it is a solid same-day performer anyway, with a 0.42 18-49 average, a performance that puts it in-line with the league average for the season. Co-created by Chuck Lorre, it was one of two of his series to survive the previous season's CBS comedy cut, which saw the cancellation of Lorre's United States of Al and B Positive and the number of comedy slots on CBS slashed from six to four. With the renewal of all four veteran comedies this year, a comedy expansion could perhaps be in the cards. Bob Hearts Abishola stars Billy Gardell, Folake Olowofoyeku, Christine Ebersole, Shola Adewusi, Barry Shabaka Henley, Matt Jones, Maribeth Monroe, Vernee Watson and the series' co-creator, Gina Yashere.

The Neighborhood Renewed by CBS
One of TV's top comedies, The Neighborhood, will be back for another season next year. The CBS sitcom, in its fifth season, has secured a sixth season renewal after another season of strong ratings. It currently rates as television's #4 comedy with a 0.53 in the key 18-49 demo, behind fellow CBS comedies Young Sheldon and Ghosts and ABC's The Conners, and is one of the few series to secure a hefty syndication deal in recent seasons. The series will surpass the milestone 100 episodes mark this season, and stars Cedric the Entertainer, Tichina Arnold, Max Greenfield, and Beth Behrs. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

FOX Renew/Cancel Week 10: ’The Resident’ Is Now In Critical Condition
Predictions for 1/21/23

The Resident: On January 17th, 'The Resident' finished out its sixth season with a perfectly fine 0.37 rating in the Adults 18-49 demographic. This serves as the drama's strongest performance since November and would generally be solid enough to justify a renewal on the Fox network. Despite those decent numbers, this series is no longer expected to return for a seventh season. For one, this season had the smallest episode count (13) that the show has had in its run. Considering that the program's 5th season had a full-order of 23 episodes, this type of reduction is clearly not a sign of encouragement for the aging veteran. On top of that, six-year contracts are the standard for regular cast-members on a television series. This means that the stars of 'The Resident' would likely have to sign new contracts for a potential seventh cycle. 'The Resident' may provide modest ratings but it is definitely not strong enough to warrant renegotiations. Filler content like 'Hell's Kitchen' and 'Name That Tune' can provide similar (or better) results at a much lower cost. 'The Resident' is now Likely to be Canceled, even though it deserves a renewal off Nielsen ratings alone.
Alert: For its third episode, 'Alert: Missing Persons Unit' held at the same putrid 0.22 that it garnered for episode two. The small consolation here is that it grew by three-hundredths of a point from its 'Fantasy Island' lead-in (0.19). Though growth like that is usually a good sign, this is surely not enough to help its chances. 'Alert' is once more Likely to be Canceled and probably won't lose that distinction any time soon.
What's Next?: New drama 'Accused' debuts on Sunday, January 22nd. The fourth season of '9-1-1: Lone Star' premieres on January 24, 2023. Both dramas will enter the chart in the next update after their premiere ratings are made available.

NCIS: Los Angeles Canceled by CBS
CBS is saying farewell to one of their longest-running series, announcing today that NCIS: Los Angeles will end after its current fourteenth season. This announcement comes less than two weeks after the NCIS crossover event involving LA, which was a ratings success that saw LA hit its highest rating since April 2022. In spite of that, NCIS: LA was one of CBS's lowest ratings performers this season, ranking fourteenth among seventeen scripted programs on the Tiffany Network this season. This is not the first NCIS series to be canceled, as NCIS: New Orleans was canceled while airing in LA's current time slot just two years ago. Barring the announcement of a new spinoff, or the cancellation of a different NCIS series, next season will be the first with only two NCIS series on the CBS lineup since the 2013-14 season. NCIS: Los Angeles starred LL Cool J, Chris O'Donnell, Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen, Medalion Rahimi and Gerald McRaney. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
