Fall is in full swing. Leaves have turned, school has begun, the holidays are rapidly approaching – and all those new TV shows are learning if they will land a full season commitment, or be laid to rest with last summer’s bathing suits and pool toys. Now, our friends over at Deadline Hollywood have given us the latest scoop on which shows will be returning, cancelled, or remain “on the bubble.”

Let’s start by getting the bad news out of the way. CBS’s legal dramedy “Made in Jersey” was the first Fall 2012 series to be put out to pasture; cancelled after only two episodes, it was a dud by any measure – Entertainment Weekly reported that the first episode pulled in 7.7 million viewers, while the second drastically dropped to 5.8 million. EW also tells us that NBC’s “Animal Practice,” starring “Weeds” funnyman Justin Kirk, was put to sleep after five episodes that played to a low of 3.8 million viewers. Proving once again that monkeys will only get you so far in life, the animal hospital comedy will air three more episodes before it’s officially replaced by returning sophomore comedy “Whitney.” Rumor has it that “The Mob Doctor” will soon be off the air as well, which means it basically fared as well as David Duchovny’s “Playing God” and that mob doctors aren’t very compelling entertainment; Deadline lists it as “all but cancelled.” Zap2It speculates that the only reason the show is still airing is that FOX doesn’t have a replacement that will bring in any more viewers than this flailing drama. With a measly 4.6 viewers, not even “Friday Night Lights” alumni Zach Gilford could keep this show afloat.

Moving on to some slightly better news. Many shows are “on the bubble” or still getting a chance to rake in viewers with a few more episodes. ABC has ordered two more scripts for “Last Resort” and “666 Park Avenue,” while “The Neighbors” is receiving three more. The CW is giving “Beauty and the Beast” and “Emily Owens MD” three more episodes each. FOX and NBC are doing things a tad differently; Fox gave non-traditional six episode orders for “Ben and Kate,” while NBC asked for five more of “Guys With Kids.” The verdict is still out on CBS’s “Partners,” but the shows’ fate will likely be revealed after next week’s episode.

Now on to the good stuff. NBC’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi series “Revolution” is proving to be this season’s most popular new show, and has been picked up for a full 22-episode season. Heavy Olympics advertising, “Breaking Bad” Emmy nominated character actor Giancarlo Esposito, and the fact it’s a brainchild of “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams are probably large reasons for the show’s success.

Meanwhile, NBC’s heartwarming Matthew Perry comedy “Go On” and controversial family comedy “The New Normal” have also been picked up for full first seasons. Overcoming some bad reviews out of the gate, CBS’s “Elementary,” starring Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu, is second only to “Revolution” in freshman popularity. The Sherlock Holmes show and CBS’s new casino drama “Vegas” are both receiving 22-episode runs.

Over at Fox, lighthearted “The Mindy Project” has been ordered for a total of 24 new episodes, while the CW’s superhero hit “Arrow” will also get a full first season. The fates of ABC’s musical drama “Nashville” and NBC’s “Chicago Fire,” however, are both still TBD since the shows haven’t had much air time – but so far, things seem to be looking promising.

Be warned: It’s still early in the season, and anything could still happen – at this time last year, “Pan Am” looked like a hit. So, did your favorite new show survive the first round of cuts? What shows deserve more viewers? Let us know in the comments!
