It's the best and worst time of the year, TV fans.

The good part: our TV obsessions are getting ready to blow us away with their upcoming finales, actually making us dread summer. The bad part: networks are gearing up to make some serious cuts in order to make room for the new pilots they'll be ordering to series. The TV gods giveth and they taketh. 

Fortunately for some fans, the networks decided to make some early (and awesome) renewals, with the CW picking up eight series back in January and Fox renewing New Girl, Empire and Gotham, among others. And ABC, in a uncharacteristic move, announced the season two pick up of How to Get Away With Murder super-early, while CBS renewed three of its freshman dramas. Plus, NBC picked up its Chicago franchise.

But there are still many shows left biting their nails (Do shows have nails?), waiting to receive the word on whether or not they've been renewed or canceled. We've rounded up the network shows still in limbo, and predicted whether or not they'll be picked up or canned come Upfronts in May.
