The TV season is just about to wrap up and already most of the major networks are about to or already have announced shows that will not be returning in the fall.

The obituary is a long one with an astounding 104 shows either calling it quits or being canceled by the networks for lack of viewers.  While people are watching less TV than ever before, DVR ratings for some of the remaining shows have helped saved a good number of shows that could have been cancelled.

Some were surprises ('Nashville,' 'The Muppets') and others were no surprise at all ('Galavant', 'Castle').  In fact, the long-running 'Castle' I believe would have been renewed  of it were not for fans objecting to the main character "Becket" not returning to the series so the network decided to kill the show off.
