Yes, it's that time of year… The time for the dreaded Endangered TV Series list. Right now, TV networks are about to begin production on pilots for potential new series for next season. And that means eventually, something's gotta go. In the next few months, many big decisions will be made on what to get rid of and what to save. Yes, there are some shows that clearly are getting renewed, even if a formal announcement has yet to be made. But there are also many shows that are still in that uncertain place, some more dangerously than others.

Keep checking back to this story in the weeks to come, as we'll no doubt be updating frequently, as some shows get the good news that they're renewed, while others find their time on our televisions have some to an end.

Also, let me note we're keeping this list strictly for network series, not cable, who don't operate on the more formal September to May TV season and the final decisions on what to renew or cancel that come about by the network Upfronts in May. You also won't see some shows that still haven't even had their season premieres yet, such as Smash, Breaking In and The River, but those will be added once a few episodes have aired.

So far, so good for this new J.J. Abrams-produced series, which has done well for itself on FOX. The key will be if it can hold up in the weeks to come, as FOX ponders how many of their four rotating Monday night series this season they want to bring back.

NBC's attempt at a Wednesday night comedy block hasn't delivered, and Chelsea – lacking any real critical support or buzz – is unlikely to return.

Picked up for a second season after its midseason run last spring, Body of Proof has failed to find a larger audience this past year and struggled among ABC's lineup.

Yep, it's stupid to live in a world where Community is in danger. But even on NBC, where ratings are bad down the line, Community has struggled, leading to it getting benched for the time being. But don't give up! The fact that the Chelsea/Whitney combo is bombing even harder; the fact that NBC has so few shows to tout in any way; the fact that Community gets them such positive press; and the potential for Sony (who produce the series) to cut the network a good deal to get a fourth season -- and enough episodes for syndication -- all give us hope we'll see Greendale again next year.

The CSI franchise isn't what it once was, and it may be time for one or both of the spinoffs to say goodbye. While New York is more likely to be cut first, Miami is in danger as well.

See above.

This Bones spinoff disappointed in its early showings, not scoring nearly as high ratings as the show that spawned it. There is still potential though, as seen by a recent uptick in the ratings.

Boy have ratings been bad for this new NBC series. Like, "Premiered worse than The Cape" bad. Which is to say, don't hold your breath on a renewal.

Ah, a perennial part of our Endangered Series list! It's amazing this cool show has made it this far, but it's in a more dangerous position than ever, as FOX's president has noted that Fringe is now outright losing money for them. Still, could Warner Bros., who produce the series, offer FOX a good enough deal that they would bring Fringe back for one final season? After Warners and NBC made a similar (and rather surprising) deal on Chuck last year, we don't want to say it's impossible.

CBS's Friday night series about an arrogant doctor learning to be a better man (you know, with the help of his dead wife) has struggled on Fridays and is unlikely to be back.

No longer getting the buzz or the ratings it once did, Gossip Girl could be over if The CW truly decides to clean house this season. But with the cast under contract for one more year, it's also very possible CW will renew it, touting that it will be the final season.

Harry's Law gets awful ratings in the desired 18-49 demographic, but in actual viewers, it's among NBC's highest viewed shows. Does that matter? Almost never, especially when the viewers are as old as this show skews. But NBC is in such a bad place, who knows… They might actually want to keep anyone actually watching that they can.

The CW didn't have nearly the hoped-for splash with their two new star-driven series last fall, including this Rachel Bilson vehicle. Still, Hart of Dixie has held up better than some series on the network, and has a shot to come back.

House is in a tricky place. The hugely successful series has now aired for eight years, and seen its numbers begin to fall. It seemed likely this would be the final season going in, but FOX still has yet to make a decision. It could come down to the wire, but it now seems there is potential for Dr. House to be back again in the fall.

Badly reviewed with weak ratings, this FOX comedy is almost certainly a goner.

It's too early to tell for this animated version of the hit movie, which has at least boasted better ratings than Allen Gregory did in the fall.

It pains us to put this show on this list, because it's so damn good. But the fact is, Nikita is The CW's lowest-rated scripted series. But does the fact that it has a dedicated core audience and that it airs in a tough Friday timeslot help its case? We just don't know yet if the show, like its title character, will get the chance to keep on kicking ass.

- The CW

Who in their right mind wouldn't want this on their TV every week?

Word is, The CW wants to really shake things up and broaden their appeal. For a network that, in general, has much lower ratings than the others, and has particularly been floundering this past year, that means a lot of shows are suddenly in a precarious position. Such is the case with 90210.

ABC keeps insisting this series is in contention for next season. But with a shortened season and very weak ratings, it sounds pretty dubious…

The CW has never succeeded when it comes to launching non-Top Model reality hits. This one is another DOA series that is likely gone soon…

Sarah Michelle Gellar's much-hyped return to TV was a big non-starter for The CW last fall, not making nearly the hoped-for ratings impact – and lacking even the kind of critical response and strong core following that would at least give it some buzz. At this point, the network may just want to cut their losses…

Still new to CBS' lineup, Rob is doing okay for the network on Thursday nights. But it's always hard to judge how well a show following the powerhouse of The Big Bang Theory needs to do for CBS to deem it worthy to bring back.

Perennial benchwarmer Rules of Engagement got sidelined again for Rob, yet whenever CBS airs it, it gets dependable ratings. So once again, the network may order another season – which, per usual, could air in the fall, the spring, or whenever they need to replace a cancelled series.

This show had a lot to live up to, given the level of hype and the high costs involved. Ultimately, Terra Nova wasn't a breakout hit, nor was it a disaster, getting decent ratings. But is "decent" good enough, given the notably high budget? That's what FOX has to decide, and decide soon, if production is to ramp up for a second season. Meaning the longer we don't hear a definitive answer, the less likely it seems Terra Nova will continue.

Too many obvious jokes to make about the title… Suffice to say, on a network with a lot of hit procedurals, Unforgettable has floundered and is almost certainly not coming back.

Oh, Whitney. A big punching bag in the fall, Whitney stood out among NBC's Thursday night lineup both for its multi-camera style and for how much weaker it was comedically. A move to Wednesday nights has only proven what most suspected: Without The Office as a lead-in, few care to watch Whitney.
