The Protector has not enough ratings available for the average to be accurate and Strike Back has just 4 episodes so far (besides, the ratings on Cinemax don't mean much : there were not 1 but 2 reruns of the latest episode last Friday apparently, right after the episode aired at 10pm, and there were as many people watching the reruns).

Renewed :

- The Secret Life of the American Teenager : the summer finale (episode 4.13) aired last night but the series will return with 11 new episodes in Spring 2012.
- Switched at Birth : 22 more episodes have been ordered, bringing the first season to a total of 32 episodes ; part II of season 1 will start in January 2012).
- Pretty Little Liars : the summer finale (episode 2.12) aired last week and the show will have an Halloween special before the second part of season 2 (12 episodes) returns in January.
- Melissa & Joey : the season finale (episode 1.30) will air on September 14 and season 2 will air in summer 2012.
- Awkward : season 1 will end on October 4 and season 2 (12 episodes as well) will air in summer 2012.
- Teen Wolf : season 2 (12 episodes) will air next summer.
- Hot in Cleveland : season 2 ended last Wednesday but season 3 (24 episodes) will begin next January.
- Happily Divorced : the 10-episode first season is over but season 2 (12 episodes) will start airing next Spring.

Close to renewal :

- The Glades : the show is stable week after week (between 2.5 and 2.7 million viewers), it performs quite well even though Sundays are tough (Falling Skies, Breaking Bad, Entourage), A&E is building a lineup (Longmire for January, Breakout Kings for April and The Glades for July)... it will get renewed in my opinion.
- Drop Dead Diva : this show manages to draw 2.1-2.3 million viewers each week in front of True Blood and Leverage, the new shows on Lifetime this summer pretty much flopped, Lifetime doesn't have any other returning series (except Army Wives entering its 14-episode sixth season in January)... DDD will get picked up for a fourth year.
- Against the Wall : the show is far from being a success but unlike The Protector, it is quite stable and the reviews weren't bad, Lifetime could easily cancel it but it wouldn't be a total surprise if they renew it… 50/50 I guess.
- The Lying Game : it's too soon to tell but so far, it's on the same path as Chloe King, very poor ratings despite a lead-in performing quite well, but ABC Family might not cancel two of its new summer dramas so The lying Game might get an extension if it doesn't drop any lower in the upcoming weeks when it won't have TSLOTAT as a lead-in.

In danger/close to cancellation :

- Strike Back : it may be too soon to tell and episode 2.02 did air after episode 2.01 on August 12 (thus the August 19 ratings could be seen as a rerun), but the show could do much better... if it doesn't come back to a decent level Cinemax will stop its partnership with Sky One (thus ending the chances of the series to get a third season, the only reason it was picked up for a second season in the first place was HBO's sibling channel paying for half the cost).
- The Nine Lives of Chloe King : it will definitely be cancelled, there's no other alternative when you look at the ratings. 1.1-1.2 million viewers and 0.4% of the target demographic is not enough for a channel like ABC Family.
- State of Georgia : renewal is not an option when you look at the ratings and besides, ABC Family rushed the run of the show with 7 episodes between August 3rd and August 17th, not a good sign.
- The Protector : the show went in three different timeslots over a few weeks to end up after 11pm right now, I couldn't find the ratings for most weeks (maybe Lifetime just doesn't care how much audience the show is gathering)... the show is dead, 99.9% sure.
