Who’s ahead in Save Our Shows, and which network sitcoms and dramas are desperately in need of a lifeline?
A glimpse at early results in USA TODAY’s exclusive 24th annual poll reveals that ABC’s “The Rookie,” starring Nathan Fillion as the LAPD’s oldest recruit, tops the list of 25 endangered shows with the most support: More than half of voters want it back for a fourth season, while fewer than 10% voted to drop it from the lineup. (The rest didn’t care either way.)
Behind “The Rookie” are NBC’s newest spinoff, “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” which premiered early this month, and musical dramedy “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.” “Zoey’s” won last year’s Save Our Shows poll with a record 67% of respondents voting to keep it for a second season. Their wish came true, but the level of support is far less this time around.
