ABC has two scripted series whose fate hasn’t been decided. While The Conners recently celebrated Episode 100 and is a sturdy ratings performer, it "has found itself in serious limbo," reports Deadline's Nellie Andreeva, who adds that the cast has not been approached yet about returning for Season 7. "This time, the focus has been on renewal negotiations. If they are successful, I hear The Conners will likely be picked up for a seventh and final season," reports Andreeva. “…But in an indication how real the possibility is for the show to end this season, I hear a tag scene was shot that would be added to the Season 6 finale should it become a series finale." Meanwhile, Not Dead Yet's future is looking bleak, says Andreeva, but its supporters inside ABC may find a spot for the Gina Rodriguez-led comedy next season.

Such a shame. I never felt like Conners reached the same heights as the original Roseanne. I could go into more detail if anyone's interested, but in the end, it was just a disappointment.
