In Zap2it's 2010 Bubblewatch polls, the shows in the "keep" column generated a range of support from overwhelming support ("Chuck," "Human Target") to tepid ("FlashForward").On the other side of the ledger? Not so much. The polls say you really, really want the likes of "Heroes," "Accidentally on Purpose" and "The Forgotten" off your schedule.
Of the 11 shows you say should go, only the venerable "Law & Order" was even a close race. As of 1:30 p.m. ET Wednesday (April 7), 51 percent of the 6,300-plus voters say kill it, while 49 percent want it to break "Gunsmoke's" TV-drama record and get a 21st season.
Aside from that, the closest margin was for "The New Adventures of Old Christine" on CBS, which was running 59-41 to the kill side, based on a little under 6,800 votes.
The polling for "Cold Case," meanwhile, is still incredibly close. A couple hundred more people have voted since Tuesday's post, yet the margin is almost exactly the same. As of 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, the kills remained ever so slightly ahead with 3,647 of 7,251 votes (50.3 percent) to 3,604 voting to keep it (49.7 percent).
Following are the results from the "kill" side of the poll, from the highest to lowest percentage of kill votes.
"The Forgotten": 9,837 votes. Kill it: 8,053 (82 percent). Keep it: 1,784 (18 percent).
"Melrose Place": 6,311 votes. Kill it: 5,109 (81 percent). Keep it: 1,202 (19 percent).
"Trauma": 5,704 votes. Kill it: 4,570 (80 percent). Keep it: 1,134 (20 percent).
"Accidentally on Purpose": 6,644 votes. Kill it: 5,103 (77 percent). Keep it: 1,541 (23 percent).
"Sons of Tucson": 5,727 votes. Kill it: 4,401 (77 percent). Keep it: 1,326 (23 percent).
"Heroes": 7,088 votes. Kill it: 5,420 (76 percent). Keep it: 1,668 (24 percent).
"Mercy": 5,849 votes. Kill it: 4,273 (73 percent). Keep it: 1,576 (27 percent).
"Gary Unmarried": 6,586 votes. Kill it: 4,754 (72 percent). Keep it: 1,832 (28 percent).
"Numb3rs": 7,007 votes. Kill it: 4,196 (60 percent). Keep it: 2,811 (40 percent).
"The New Adventures of Old Christine": 6,777 votes. Kill it: 4,016 (59 percent). Keep it: 2,761 (41 percent).

Why is everyone ragging on Melrose Place?? It's really not that bad. I think it's gotten better since ashlee simpson left. Please give it another chance!!
The Forgotten is an abomination to television. Awful show. Glad to see that the rest of America feels the same way.
Heroes just isn't working anymore. I tried to stick with it, but I just couldn't justify spending even an hour a week on it after last season.
Sons of Tucson wasn't awful, but it certainly wasn't up to the standard of Fox's Sunday night animation line-up.
As for the rest, I've never watched any of them except Law & Order, which I can't understand why anyone would want to kill. Still solid, still entertaining.
I think I might have to start a Save Law & Order campaign -- that show just got good again. Have people not seen Linus Roache???
Heroes mucked up the story line wasn't the Japan guy going to go back in time and tell the male nurse to save the cheer leader?
Looks like they forget about that one.
Don't you dare lose L&O yet.
One EP of TF was enough for me & the wife we hate the lead anyway
i agree on Melrose. it has been improving, and it's certainly better than 90210...
Also lose more of the so called reality show that "Undercover Boss" is a phony anyway.
Lets also lose that ugly Super Nanny, and the wife swap too
LOST can get lost what a joke we gave up after the 2008 season, I wanted to punch Jack and the heavy guy.
ABC'a whole Wed. line up is NOT funny and such is also the case with Thur.
I'd love to see Law & Order and Numb3rs come back, but that's about it. Still don't understand why Numb3rs is on the bubble considering it's still #1 in its timeslot even with a 1-1.5 million dip since last season.
I'm hoping CBS will decide to keep it for another abbreviated season, considering it has an established fanbase and Miami Medical turned out to be a total debacle. I just hope if they do that it won't interfere with David Krumholtz and Rob Morrow's new pilots, as if it does get picked up again, it'll certainly be the last time for sure.
I just hope they give Numb3rs a proper goodbye if they do can it. The show has deserved that much.
Melrose Place has been getting so good lately. I think the people who voted to kill it either aren't watching it or haven't seen any of the recent episodes. The show just keeps getting better and better and deserves a second season!!!
Those ratings for Melrose Place are unacceptable. This show should get cancelled along with The CW
