Renew or cancel? Vote on the fate of these TV series in USA TODAY's Save Our Shows poll

Once again, the ballot box is open.

The four major broadcast networks are weighing the fates of 17 comedies and dramas as they balance them against a smaller crop of new shows vying to replace them.

Now it's your turn to weigh in: Vote in USA TODAY's exclusive 28th annual Save Our Shows poll whether you'd like to save or cancel each of them.

This year's crop is weighted toward still-unproven freshmen shows such as ABC's "Doctor Odyssey" and Tim Allen comedy "Shifting Gears," NBC's "Brilliant Minds" and "Suits LA" and Fox's "Rescue: Hi-Surf." But it also includes longer-running shows like CBS' "The Equalizer," Fox's "The Cleaning Lady" and two NBC sitcoms, "Lopez vs. Lopez" and a "Night Court" revival. Vote here for your favorites: As always, Nielsen ratings play an important part in evaluating shows' performance. But how well they do on streaming platforms is an important (and more recent) consideration. So is their cost to produce or license, relative to how much money they bring in with ad revenue or subscriptions, and the availability of strong replacement series, which increasingly are spinoffs of proven commodities. Already, CBS has commissioned "Boston Blue," a "Blue Bloods" offshoot starring Donnie Wahlberg, and "Sheriff Country," a spinoff of "Fire Country," while ABC promises "9-1-1: Nashville."

Streaming series, which represents a larger share of TV viewing, aren't included in the survey because they are renewed or canceled throughout the year. Only broadcast networks largely stick to the traditional TV season and unveil plans to advertisers in mid-May. A couple more caveats: The poll is resuming after a one-year hiatus due to strikes by Hollywood actors and writers, which delayed many shows last season. ("9-1-1," then on Fox, was the fan favorite in the 2023 poll, and moved to ABC; runners up "The Good Doctor" and "Alaska Daily," both on ABC, were canceled). And CW, which under new ownership is largely airing series from Canada and elsewhere, is no longer part of the poll. If self-generated scandal is the internet's most valuable currency, Jack Schlossberg is continuing to grow his wealth.

Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, has become a buzzy, if not enigmatic mouthpiece for a younger generation of Democrats in recent years. On Sunday, he only added to that lore by posting on X that he was having a baby with Vice President JD Vance's wife Usha Vance.

"I'm having a son !! So excited about this," Schlossberg, 32, wrote in a post on Sunday. "Cannot wait for the birth of my next child because today was the best day of my life. Out of wedlock, yes. But we might get married."

"Little Jason and his mom," Schlossberg wrote. "You never feel like you're ready to be a parent. Until one day, you become one."

USA TODAY has reached out to both Schlossberg and Vance's reps for comment.

Among the youngest branches in the storied Kennedy family tree, Schlossberg represents just one part of the political dynasty's return to public life. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of former Attorney General Robert "Bobby" Kennedy, is currently serving as secretary of Health and Human Services in the second Trump administration. His position on the other side of the aisle has surprised some for whom the Kennedy name has become synonymous with the Democratic establishment.

Schlossberg, the son of JFK's daughter Caroline Kennedy and designer Edwin Schlossberg, is keeping that tradition alive on the other hand.
