In mid-May, the big TV networks will reveal their fall schedules to advertisers in order to milk every single penny they can out of them. But for us lowly viewers, mid-May is when we find out which shows will return next season and which shows will officially be dead air. It can get pretty confusing keeping track of what's sticking around and what's not, so we've gone ahead and put together this list for you. Bookmark this page and check back whenever you like, we'll update it as we find out more.
Here's the current breakdown, alphabetically by network:
What's Been Renewed, What's Been Canceled, What's Left
ABC
Renewed:
Brothers & Sisters ... Will be back, but without Rob Lowe.
Castle ... Sophomore charmer returns for Season 3.
Cougar Town ... For better or worse, it has its fans!
The Middle ... A solid component of ABC's new comedy block.

Limbo
Better Off Ted ... Needs a miracle to return.
The Deep End ... Just not officially canceled yet.
Desperate Housewives ... Barring any fallout from the Cherry-slap lawsuit, the ladies of Wisteria Lane are likely to return.

Grey's Anatomy ... Should be back for more hot doctor-on-doctor action.
Happy Town ... Way too early to tell.
Private Practice ... Should be back for more hot doctor-on-doctor action.
Romantically Challenged ... Too soon to tell, but early numbers did not impress.
