'Life Unexpected,' 'Chuck,' 'Human Target': The shows you want to keep

The people have spoken -- by the thousands. And it's clear from your votes in Zap2it's 2010 Bubblewatch polls that you like your action, your family drama and a little bit of crime-solving, particularly if it involves a certain ex-"Firefly" captain.Of the 22 shows we considered on the bubble for renewal next season, you voted to keep 10 of them. Several were no surprise -- as it was last year, "Chuck" was one of the big winners, with 79 percent of more than 7,000 votes on saying "keep it" -- while The CW's "Life Unexpected" and "One Tree Hill" also brought out the vote in large numbers.
The biggest "keep it" margin went to "Castle." ABC picked up the show for 2010-11 not long after our poll went live, but before that 89 percent of the nearly 8,000 people who voted gave it a thumbs-up.
At the other end of the "keep" spectrum is ABC's "FlashForward," which has the most votes of any show in the Bubblewatch -- more than 11,000 -- but also one of the most divided results. As of noon PT Tuesday (April 6), 52 percent had voted to keep it and 48 percent to kill it.
Then there's "Cold Case." The veteran CBS series is so on the bubble that it's almost an even split -- 3,502 for and 3,540 against. Voting will remain open for the rest of the week, so if you want to vote something up, tell your friends. Here are the complete results of the shows you want to keep, as of noon PT Tuesday.

"Castle": 7,976 votes. Keep it: 7,068 (89 percent). Kill it: 908 (11 percent).

SAVE ONE TREE HILL!
I hope the networks are actually paying attention to what the fans are saying here.
Why throw out a show that people are interested in watching, only to replace it with something that might or might not be watched by anyone at all?
I aimed that last comment at NBC, by the way. Can NBC really afford to alienate the 5 million dedicated viewers of CHUCK when they don't have ANYTHING else going for them?
Well done to One Tree Hill. I love LuX, but the ratings keep on falling and it's only its first season. The chances of Lux getting 7 seasons is rather small.
If NBC does not renew Chuck I hope another network has the will to pick it up. Chuck has not even come close to it's potential yet. That show is a winner.
Are you writing a similar article called "The shows you want to axe?"
"Well done to One Tree Hill. I love LuX, but the ratings keep on falling and it's only its first season. The chances of Lux getting 7 seasons is rather small."
Who the freak said Lux should get seven seasons? One Tree Hill really should have ended at 6. All fans are asking for is a second season! The show can build an audience!
Last night's episode of "Chuck" has to be among its best ever. This show is improving with age, and totally deserves another season.
Agreed about last nights episode of Chuck among its best. Its getting better each episode, too bad we have to wait 3 wks for the next one! Keep this show around, its a keeper.
I actually like Life Unexpected. It's a good show, so I can see why fans want another season so badly. One Tree Hill is beating a dead horse.
