Is Heroes Safe? Maybe

For the last few weeks, there has been a lot of talk about how to save Our Favorite Show.

Maybe we are panicking too soon.

TVBy The Numbers, which tracks primetime and ratings, has anylized NBC's scripted fare over the past few weeks. And despite falling numbers, TVByTN says that Heroes stands a good chance of surviving to 2011, along with The Office, SVU, and the new Chevy Chase comedy Community.

Not looking good is Mercy. And although it was not listed, Trauma may be in the crosshairs as well.

The two that look like sure cancellations are Ame Poehler's Parks and Rec and the original Law & Order, though out of respect for 20 years, NBC may allow it to stay on until May.

TV By The Numbers' Renew / Cancel Index predicts potential renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows for the 2010-11 season:

• Likely To Be Canceled By May, 2010(***)
