It’s time again for broadcast TV’s annual Love-This-Canceled-That! routine in New York City.

Starting May 16, the five networks will present their fall lineups to advertisers. Fortunately for many shows (and their fans), lots of dramas and comedies have already been renewed for fall of 2016. But there are still a few holdouts (why are you making Supergirl fans wait, CBS?).

Here are the shows we know are making a comeback — and the ones that seem close to extinction.
