The Resident: Now that I analyzed the situation with The Resident further, I decided to downgrade it to leans cancelation. A 0.7 is not bad for a veteran, but it is not great. The only way The Resident will sneak in a renewal and satisfy the third season rule is if Disney will significantly lower the license fee for FOX to even air it because it is unowned. The same thing may apply to Last Man Standing later on, but that's coming midseason. The Resident, as of right now, is looking to be this year's Star. But the question is, might The Resident move to ABC? At this point, it's not likely. But stranger things have happened. Brooklyn Nine-Nine got moved to NBC after FOX canceled the show. Many years ago, Medium moved to CBS after airing on NBC for many years. The Mindy Project moved to streaming site Hulu for the next three seasons. Cougar Town and American Dad both moved to TBS. A show moving networks has happened before, but it is rare for a show to move to another broadcast network. We may analyze this further on down the line.
Bless the Harts: Bless the Harts did not go up that much after a football-fueled The Simpsons. It was at a 1.3. It's a solid number, but retention is terrible for it. With only 13 episodes, it is looking like another Son of Zorn. Bless the Harts now leans cancelation. Don't be surprised if Duncanville or The Great North shows up midseason to replace it.
Almost Family: Almost Family adjusted down for a second week in a row to a 0.7 in the key demo with less than 1 million viewers. I don't know what that means, but that screams the show is dead. It's nowhere to be found in the Live+3 ratings last week. It wasn't even in the top 40. Almost Family is certain to be canceled now, but it not a question of the act of getting pulled, it's how long the show will last.
