Kevin Jonas & Danielle Deleasa Address Pesky Baby Rumors, Talk Marriage For HuffPost's #nofilter

These days, our knowledge of celebrities too often originates with paparazzi images and snarky quotes by anonymous "insiders." After a while, it's easy to forget that stars are real people. That's why HuffPost Celebrity decided to launch its all-new #nofilter quick-fire question and answer series. Because how well do you know someone until they've shared their guiltiest pleasures?

2012 was a good year to be a Jonas. Nick Jonas landed a gig in the smash Broadway musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," Joe Jonas released his first-ever solo album in October, and the hit reality TV show "Married To Jonas," starring Kevin Jonas and his wife, Danielle Deleasa, has been renewed for a second season. It is no secret that this kind of success comes with its fair share of pressures. So when we had the opportunity to catch up with the incredibly down-to-earth couple behind the hit E! reality TV show at the Cold-EEZE & City Harvest food drive to benefit Hurricane Sandy victims, we figured, what better opportunity exists to put some of these rumors to rest?

What is the most ridiculous rumor you've ever heard about yourself?
Kevin Jonas: Well, she hears that she's pregnant, like, every day. I mean, it will happen, but not today!
Danielle Deleasa: I think that's the major one that everyone pinpoints on me.
KJ: But that's OK, they're all just excited.

If you could give advice to a younger version of yourself what would it be?
KJ: Happy wife, happy life.
DD: [Laughs]

Any New Year's resolutions this year?
DD: We asked each other that the other day too, but we never came up with one!
KJ: I think it's always the simple ones like "get in shape." I'm going back on the road, so being able to handle playing for two and half hours onstage takes a lot out of you.
DD: Wait, I know there's a good one, I just have to think!
KJ: Oh, she said to learn a new recipe each week. It's actually a really smart one, because if you do that once a week, it's 50-something recipes.

How many times a day do you brush your teeth and floss?
DD: Twice!
KJ: At least twice.

Do you ever cheat at board games?
DD: Tell the truth, Kevin!
KJ: I might, once in a while, to try to beat her. But she kicks my butt in Scrabble and I hate it! I'm a huge Monopoly fan, too.
DD: He's competitive.

When do you lose your temper, Danielle?
KJ: When I don't listen.
DD: When he doesn't listen.

Describe each other in one word
DD: Energetic.
KJ: Compassionate.

Finish this sentence: Marriage is...
DD: Wonderful.
KJ: Phenomenal.

Before You Go

2012 Renewal Index: Canceled, Safe and on the Bubble Shows
"The Bachelor"(01 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Bachelor," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: You really think we've seen the last rose handed out? Not in a million years. ABC has already tapped their next "Bachelorette," and we know they'll have their eyes peeled for a hot rejected man from that spinoff to be the next "Bachelor."
(credit:ABC)
"The Bachelorette"(02 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Bachelorette," ABC
Status: Likely to be renewed
Why: "Bachelor" Brad's also-ran Emily Maynard is getting her turn as the rose giver for the seventh season of "The Bachelorette" this summer. As long as there are people willing to look for love on reality TV, this show will keep on trucking.
(credit:ABC)
"Body of Proof"(03 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Body of Proof," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: "Body of Proof" has been falling below its timeslot competitor, CBS's "Unforgettable," but it still draws a decent audience and its fans are very vocal. ABC has decided it deserves a third season.
(credit:ABC)
"Castle"(04 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Castle," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: This show's ratings have definitely suffered without "Dancing With the Stars" airing beforehand, but it is a consistent performer. And now that Castle and Beckett's relationship is evolving, a fifth season of "oh yes they will" is a no-brainer.
(credit:ABC)
"Charlie's Angels"(05 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Charlie's Angels," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: Not really a shock for anybody, but "Charlie's Angels" is cooked. Flimsy story, bad remake, questionable casting.
"Cougar Town"(06 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Cougar Town," ABC
Status: Renewed -- for TBS!
Why: The Season 3 ratings weren't boosted much by holding this show until midseason, but ABC's wonky air schedule also didn't help ... which is why the news that TBS has picked up the show for a fourth season is huge. Cheers with your Big Carl!
(credit:ABC)
"Dancing With the Stars"(07 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Dancing With the Stars," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: "DWTS" may have lost its luster in the ratings, but if the viewers are still coming.
(credit:ABC)
"Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23"(08 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: ABC's new bleep-worthy comedy starring Krysten Ritter, Dreama Walker and James Van Der Beek is a funny one, and definitely embraces the quirk (Beek Jeans!), so we're excited to see what they do with a second season.
(credit:ABC)
"Desperate Housewives"(09 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Desperate Housewives," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: After countless deaths, murders, betrayals and natural disasters on Wisteria Lane over the show's eight seasons, the ladies of "Desperate Housewives" will say goodbye forever this May.
(credit:ABC)
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"(10 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: After a whopping nine seasons, the do-gooding show came to an end in January. But worry not, it will continue to have a few specials to make viewers cry tears of joy.
(credit:ABC)
"GCB"(11 of119)
Open Image Modal
"GCB," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: This "Desperate Housewives"-esque dramedy premiered to less than 8 million viewers, and the phenomenal cast (Kristin Chenoweth, Annie Potts, Leslie Bibb) couldn't bring in a Texas-sized audience, so ABC canceled it.
(credit:ABC)
"Grey's Anatomy"(12 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Grey's Anatomy," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: Shonda Rhimes' medical drama is a ratings juggernaut, even in its eighth season, and with most of her big stars signed on for more, ABC gave the go-ahead for a ninth season.
(credit:ABC)
"Happy Endings"(13 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Happy Endings," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: This show is way too "ca-yute" to bubble it, and obviously someone high up at ABC agrees. After its first season was moved around and aired all out of order, the network still gave it another chance to find its audience in Season 2 ... and it has, and hopefully will continue to in Season 3.
(credit:ABC)
"Last Man Standing"(14 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Last Man Standing," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: Ratings for Tim Allen's return to sitcoms have been very strong, making it Tuesday's most-watched comedy. If you can beat "Glee" and "The Biggest Loser," a second season is a given.
(credit:ABC)
"Man Up!"(15 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Man Up!," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: ABC pulled the show after eight episodes.
(credit:ABC)
"The Middle"(16 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Middle," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: Now in its third season, "The Middle" is still holding onto its middle position in the ratings on Wednesday nights, and that seems just about right. It doesn't do "American Idol" or "Survivor" numbers, of course, but with over 7 million viewers, it's a strong comedy for the network that easily beats anything NBC is offering.
(credit:ABC)
"Missing"(17 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Missing," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: Ashley Judd lead this drama about a former CIA agent whose son goes missing, kicking her back into action to find him. The series was only set to air 10 episodes, miniseries-style, with the potential for more, but a cancellation means that's all they're getting.
(credit:ABC)
"Modern Family"(18 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Modern Family," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: "Modern Family" remains ABC's biggest sitcom success story of the last decade, both in ratings and awards love. This critical darling is getting a fourth season of hijinks with the hilarious Pritchett-Dunphy clan.
(credit:ABC)
"Once Upon A Time"(19 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Once Upon A Time," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: "Once Upon a Time" has gotten praise for being one of the more family-friendly dramas on TV, and it's been pulling in close to 10 million viewers each week because of it. We're excited by the almost endless possibilities for new fairy tale-inspired stories to tackle in Season 2.
(credit:ABC)
"Pan Am"(20 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Pan Am," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: Poor "Pan Am" just never quite took off. The series' vintage look actually worked against it, much like NBC's swiftly canceled "Playboy Club" -- guess when you're being compared to award-winning shows like "Mad Men," it makes it more than a little tough to live up to the hype.
(credit:ABC)
"Private Practice"(21 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Private Practice," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: "Private Practice" has never gotten "Grey's Anatomy"-level ratings, and things got shakier when ABC bumped it to Tuesday nights to make room for creator Shonda Rhimes' other new show, "Scandal," but they've given the show a sixth season order.
(credit:ABC)
"Revenge"(22 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Revenge," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: With a clever mix of drama, mystery and serious revenge-ing, this is hands down one of the most addictive new shows on TV, and we can't wait to see where they take things in Season 2.
(credit:ABC )
"The River"(23 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The River," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: The promise of "Paranormal Activity"-like scares each week quickly fizzled after this show premiered, along with the ratings. The first season's eight episodes came and went, and ABC has nixed any plans for more.
(credit:ABC)
"Scandal"(24 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Scandal," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: Shonda Rhimes' latest show isn't about doctors at all -- and that's why we're glad it's sticking around. Kerry Washington is amazing as Olivia Pope, a Washington, D.C. fixer with a crack team of specialists helping make bad headlines vanish before they're ever written. Here's hoping for more than seven episodes in its second season.
(credit:ABC)
"Shark Tank"(25 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Shark Tank," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: Now in its third season, this reality competition show is unlike any other on network TV and ABC is keeping it around for more for that very reason.
(credit:ABC)
"Suburgatory"(26 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Suburgatory," ABC
Status: Renewed
Why: It's smart, quick and not too cute -- "Suburgatory" is consistently named the sitcom you should be watching, but probably aren't. The great cast makes this one a no-brainer, and the ratings have stayed pretty consistent, too. We're thrilled it's getting a second season to shine!
(credit:ABC)
"Work It"(27 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Work It," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: Let us count the ways ...
(credit:ABC)
"2 Broke Girls"(28 of119)
Open Image Modal
"2 Broke Girls," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: At first, people balked at the racist supporting characters, but now it seems that audiences are all over "2 Broke Girls" -- it's ratings have seen a steady increase, and it won the People's Choice Award for Favorite New Comedy.
(credit:CBS)
"A Gifted Man"(29 of119)
Open Image Modal
"A Gifted Man," CBS
Status: Canceled
Why: "A Gifted Man's" total viewer numbers were OK for a Friday night, but a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic is especially bad for CBS. Another bad sign: star Patrick Wilson tweeted about the end: "I had a great time. Thanks to my fans. So happy it's done." And done it is.
(credit:CBS)
"The Amazing Race"(30 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Amazing Race," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Voted the best reality show on TV several times (albeit years ago), "The Amazing Race" isn't going anywhere. Ratings have dropped a bit, but are still solid.
(credit:CBS)
"The Big Bang Theory"(31 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Big Bang Theory," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Nothing seems to be able to make a dent in this show. With fantastic ratings (it beat "Idol"!) and a rabid following, we'll be seeing plenty more "Big Bang" before its run is over.
(credit:CBS)
"Blue Bloods"(32 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Blue Bloods," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: The anchor of Friday nights on CBS, "Blue Bloods" has performed well, pulling in around 11 million viewers an episode. The show might not have the youngest audience, but it's still enough for CBS to keep it on the schedule.
(credit:CBS)
"Criminal Minds"(33 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Criminal Minds," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Paget Brewster might be checking out, but "Criminal Minds" is here to stay. In Season 7, the procedural is still a consistently strong ratings performer for CBS.
(credit:CBS)
"CSI"(34 of119)
Open Image Modal
"CSI," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Whenever the time comes, the "CSI" mothership will end with a lot of fanfare, but not this year. With new faces Ted Danson and Elisabeth Shue around, there is going to be at least one more season.
(credit:CBS)
"CSI: Miami"(35 of119)
Open Image Modal
"CSI: Miami," CBS
Status: Canceled
Why: Out of the three (!) "CSI" programs on the air, "CSI: Miami" is the one to say goodbye first. The one-time ratings giant has been affected by football overruns (just as "The Good Wife" has) and "CSI: NY" has the edge in terms of total viewers, meaning a "Miami" sunset was inevitable.
(credit:CBS)
"CSI: NY"(36 of119)
Open Image Modal
"CSI: NY," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Of the two "CSI" spinoffs, "CSI: NY" is the stronger -- pulling in more than 10 million viewers on a Friday night is no easy task -- and with "CSI: Miami" canceled, "CSI: NY's" renewal was a no-brainer.
(credit:CBS)
"The Good Wife"(37 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Good Wife," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: This critical darling suffered after its move from Tuesdays to Sundays thanks to sports overruns. The viewers are frustrated, but given its strong cast and Emmy love, the show is still coming back for more.
(credit:CBS)
"Hawaii Five-0"(38 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Hawaii Five-0," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Despite the scheduling setback as Alex O'Loughlin seeks treatment, Season 2 is still doing well for CBS in a very competitive timeslot.
(credit:CBS)
"How To Be a Gentleman"(39 of119)
Open Image Modal
"How To Be A Gentleman," CBS
Status: Canceled
Why: Not even having "The Big Bang Theory" as a lead-in could save this David Hornsby project, which only lasted three episodes.
(credit:CBS)
"How I Met Your Mother"(40 of119)
Open Image Modal
"How I Met Your Mother," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: CBS renewed "How I Met Your Mother" for two more seasons in March 2011, so fans can look forward to being strung along about the titular mother's identity for a bit longer.
(credit:CBS)
"The Mentalist"(41 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Mentalist," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Although the show hit a season ratings low in the middle of February, its fanbase and overall ratings were enough to have it return for another season.
(credit:CBS)
"Mike & Molly"(42 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Mike & Molly," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Thanks to an Emmy win and Oscar nomination, Melissa McCarthy is a Hollywood power player and CBS is keen to keep her around. Just look at the multiple pilots she has in the works as a behind the scenes player! "Mike & Molly" will be back for a third season.
(credit:CBS)
"NCIS"(43 of119)
Open Image Modal
"NCIS," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: The long-running procedural has become a ratings juggernaut at a time when most shows start shedding viewers. Season 10 is now happening.
(credit:CBS)
"NCIS: Los Angeles"(44 of119)
Open Image Modal
"NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS
Status:Renewed
Why: This show has gone up in the ratings over the last couple of years, and people can't get enough of L.L. Cool J and Chris O'Donnell.
(credit:CBS)
"NYC 22"(45 of119)
Open Image Modal
"NYC 22," CBS
Status: Canceled
Why: This "Rookie Blue" clone from executive producer Robert DeNiro didn't really move the needle when it premiered midseason; CBS officially axed it with three episodes left to air.
(credit:CBS)
"Person of Interest"(46 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Person of Interest," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: With ratings matching juggernauts like "Grey's Anatomy" and fans popping up everywhere, we'll be seeing another season of "Person of Interest."
(credit:CBS)
"Rob"(47 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Rob," CBS
Status: Canceled
Why: "Rob's" spot after ratings juggernaut "The Big Bang Theory" probably went a long way in helping it survive to see the end of its first season, but that's as far as it'll get.
(credit:CBS)
"Rules of Engagement"(48 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Rules of Engagement," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: This show has moved around so much it's hard to remember when it's on, and with six seasons under its belt it's had quite a nice run. Despite slipping ratings and the aforementioned constant switcheroos, there's still a future for "Rules of Engagement."
(credit:CBS)
"Survivor"(49 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Survivor," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Of course we have "Survivor" coming back for another season. Where else are we going to see petty squabbles and insane behavior on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world?
(credit:CBS)
"Two and a Half Men"(50 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Two and a Half Men," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: Despite a less-than-favorable critical response, the revamped "Two and a Half Men" keeps pulling in respectable numbers every week. Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones will all return for a Season 10.
(credit:CBS)
"Undercover Boss"(51 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Undercover Boss," CBS
Status: Renewed
Why: The inherent addictiveness of this show has gone a long way in securing loyal viewers -- it has been on top of the ratings several times this season alone.
(credit:CBS)
"Unforgettable"(52 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Unforgettable," CBS
Status: Likely to be renewed
Why: In its timeslot, "Unforgettable" keeps emerging on top, beating out "Parenthood" and "Body of Proof." Leading lady Poppy Montgomery has been called "the female version of 'The Mentalist,'" another top-rated show, so things are looking positive.
(credit:CBS)
"90210"(53 of119)
Open Image Modal
"90210," The CW
Status: Renewed
Why: While its ratings have plummeted since last season, the Beverly Hills crew is still doing better than "Supernatural," "Hart of Dixie," "Nikita," and "Gossip Girl" on average.
(credit:The CW)
"America's Next Top Model"(54 of119)
Open Image Modal
"America's Next Top Model," The CW
Status:

Why: Tyra Banks' reality show is in the early stages of its 18th cycle with a Brit vs. U.S. installment. Cycle 19 will be the show's inaugural "college edition."

"Gossip Girl"(55 of119)

"Gossip Girl," The CW
Status: Renewed
Why: Fans will get to say goodbye to the Upper East-Siders in a sixth and reportedly shortened final season.
"H8R"(56 of119)
Open Image Modal
"H8R," The CW
Status: Canceled
Why: Apparently, the opposite of MTV's former series "Fanatic" proved people don't love to hate Kim Kardashian and Snooki as much as we thought. It lasted four episodes.
(credit:The CW)
"Hart of Dixie"(57 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Hart of Dixie," The CW
Status: Renewed
Why: Josh Schwartz and Rachel Bilson return for a sophomore season of "Hart of Dixie," hopefully so they can make more viral videos.
(credit:The CW)
"Nikita"(58 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Nikita," The CW
Status: Renewed
Why: We're shocked the show is coming back for another season, but its hard-core fans will certainly be happy.
(credit:The CW)
"One Tree Hill" (59 of119)
Open Image Modal
"One Tree Hill," The CW
Status: Canceled
Why: After nine seasons, it's time to say goodbye to "One Tree Hill." After subpar ratings, the network decided to pull the plug on its long-standing teen soap. Thankfully, the CW gave "One Tree Hill" a final 13 episodes to wrap up all of the drama.
(credit:The CW)
"Remodeled"(60 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Remodeled," The CW
Status: As good as dead
Why: Not only has "Remodeled" already been replaced on the CW schedule, but it debuted with one of the CW's lowest-rated premiere ever, scoring a terrible 0.3 in the coveted 18-49 demo.
(credit:The CW)
"Ringer"(61 of119)

"Ringer," The CW
Status: Canceled
Why: Sarah Michelle Gellar's double-life proved too complicated and poorly-produced for viewers to care much about.
(credit:The CW)
"The Secret Circle"(62 of119)

"The Secret Circle," The CW
Status: Canceled
Why: Somewhat of a surprising development given its decent ratings, but it never quite lived up to its lead-in, "The Vampire Diaries."

"Supernatural," The CW

Why: "Vampire Diaries" is The CW's golden child ... the vampires and witches and werewolves of Mystic Falls aren't going anywhere.
(credit:The CW)
"Alcatraz"(65 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Alcatraz," Fox
Status: Canceled
Why: "Alcatraz" -- and almost every other recent J.J. Abrams TV project -- proves that slapping "from J.J. Abrams" on a show does not equal ratings success. The series debuted strong, but fizzled in the ratings, leading Fox to pull the plug.
(credit:Fox)
"Allen Gregory"(66 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Allen Gregory," Fox
Status: Canceled
Why: Jonah Hill's animated series only lasted seven episodes. The Oscar nominee should probably just stick to movies for a while ...

"American Idol," Fox

"Bob's Burgers"(69 of119)

"Bob's Burgers," Fox
Status: Too soon to tell
Why: The sophomore season of this quirky animated comedy kicks off this month (Sun., Mar. 11), so don't expect to hear about a Season 3 just yet.

"Bones"(70 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Bones," Fox
Status: Renewed
Why: The show got a ratings boost thanks to its lead-in "The X Factor." With the floundering state of Fox's dramas (see ya, "House"), Fox is holding on to this one.

"Breaking In"(71 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Breaking In," Fox
Status: Canceled
Why: After a last minute revival, "Breaking In" returned for a second season with Megan Mullally in tow, but it wasn't enough to revive this D.O.A. comedy.

"The Cleveland Show"(72 of119)

"The Cleveland Show," Fox
Status: Renewed
Why: Fox gave "The Cleveland Show" and "American Dad" early renewals and this spinoff will be back for a Season 4, but no word on a fifth season.

"The Finder"(74 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Finder," Fox
Status: Canceled
Why: "The Finder" hit the benches for a bit before moving to Fridays, and the numbers never improved. Averaging less than 6 million viewers an episode (not so hot for a Fox drama), it was only a matter of time ...
(credit:Fox)
"Fringe"(75 of119)

"Fringe," Fox
Status:

Why: This fan favorite has struggled in the ratings, but Fox has agreed to give it a 13-episode order for a fifth and final season to wrap up all the mysteries of both universes.

"Glee"(76 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Glee," Fox
Status: Renewed
Why: The hit teen series is breaking records in music sales, but its overall viewership has slipped. After a bit of a PR debacle about graduating characters that ended with spinoff plans being squashed, "Glee" will get another season.

"Hell's Kitchen"(77 of119)

"Hell's Kitchen," Fox

Why: After eight seasons and countless unsolvable medical cases solved, this Fox medical drama is coming to an end.

"I Hate My Teenage Daughter"(79 of119)
Open Image Modal
"I Hate My Teenage Daughter," Fox
Status: Canceled
Why: As if getting panned by critics wasn't enough, "I Hate My Teenage Daughter's" shrinking ratings had the show marked for death, then Fox benched the sitcom for three months after only four episodes and then ... yep, buh-bye forever. No shock there.
(credit:Fox)
"Kitchen Nightmares"(80 of119)

"Kitchen Nightmares," Fox
Status:

Why: In early February, Fox signed on for a 16-episode fifth season of this other Gordon Ramsay series. They're in the Gordon Ramsay business, and they're not going anywhere.

"MasterChef"(81 of119)
Open Image Modal
"MasterChef," Fox
Status:
Likely to be renewed
Why: No official announcement has been made regarding a third season, but there was a casting call issued during episodes throughout Season 2. And if Gordon Ramsay's track record with Fox is any indication, it's as good as renewed.

"Mobbed"(82 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Mobbed," Fox
Status:
On the bubble
Why: It started with a ratings bang, but things have only gone down from there for Fox's flash mob reality show with Howie Mandel at the helm. It's not on the schedule in any regular timeslot though, so it's possible they'll continue producing a few episodes a year.
(credit:Fox)
"Napoleon Dynamite"(83 of119)

"Napoleon Dynamite," Fox
Status:

Why: After a decent debut, "Napoleon Dynamite" dropped about half of its audience to about 4 million viewers per episode. It could go either way.

"New Girl," Fox
Status: Renewed
Why: "New Girl" was the first new Fox show to get a full Season 1 order and the show has continued to perform well in the ratings and in the 18-49 demographic. America loves that adorkable charm.

Status: Too soon to tell/Not their call
Why: Shortly after the Latin American-based show -- starring J. Lo and her ex-husband Marc Anthony -- debuted on Univision, Fox picked up an English-language version that debuted in early March. Though the reality series underperformed in its Saturday night timeslot, it's not Fox's decision whether or not we'll see more "Q'Viva."

"Raising Hope," Fox
Status: Renewed

"So You Think You Can Dance," Fox
Status: Too soon to tell
Why: Season 9 of "So You Think You Can Dance" won't debut until this summer and when it does, there will be changes: Fox has nixed the results show entirely. If the fanbase is still there, the cheaper production could save the show for another few seasons.

"Terra Nova," Fox
Status: Canceled
Why: Fox pulled the plug on this very expensive dinosaur drama, but reports indicate producers are looking to keep the show alive on a different network.

"Touch," Fox
Status: Renewed
Why: The Kiefer Sutherland drama had a sizable audience (about 12 million viewers) for its preview and has remained somewhat steady since its premiere. Fox showed faith in the series, giving it the post-"American Idol" slot, and it paid off.

"The X Factor," Fox
Status: Renewed
Why: Fox has already renewed the singing competition for a second season and boy will there be changes: two new hosts and two new judges will join Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid at the table.

"30 Rock," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why:"30 Rock" is showing its age, but the star power of Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin can't be denied -- NBC has renewed the show for a seventh and final season of 13 episodes.

"America's Got Talent," NBC
Status:
Likely to be renewed
Why: NBC's top-rated summer show is moving to New York for this upcoming season, but it's most likely not going anywhere. Unless, of course, the new judge -- shock jock Howard Stern -- really messes things up somehow.

"Are You There, Chelsea?"(94 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Are You There, Chelsea?," NBC
Status: Canceled
Why: With just over 3 million viewers an episode, it wasn't not exactly a strong performer, even by NBC's standards. Even Chelsea Handler and NBC's fondness for funny ladies couldn't save this show.

"Awake"(95 of119)

"Awake," NBC
Status: Canceled
Why: "Awake" had gotten some great promotion, but its numbers were pretty middle of the road and only went down further -- genre shows with heavy serialized elements are always tricky.

"Bent"(96 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Bent," NBC
Status: Canceled
Why: The Amanda Peet comedy premiered in late March and had six episodes to prove itself, but NBC didn't give it much of a chance, airing them back-to-back.

"Best Friends Forever," NBC
Status:Canceled
Why: The female buddy sitcom starring and co-created by Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham was yanked from the schedule and then axed for good.

Open Image Modal
"The Biggest Loser," NBC
Status: Likely to be renewed
Why: NBC's weight loss competition show has been around for years, and despite sagging overall ratings, its 18-49 rating (a recent episode got a 2.0) is still one of NBC's highest.
(credit:NBC)
"Celebrity Apprentice"(100 of119)

"Celebrity Apprentice," NBC
Status: Likely to be renewed
Why: Series low ratings probably won't kill this franchise. But are there any D-listers left who haven't competed for Donald Trump's approval?

"Chuck," NBC
Status: Canceled

"Community"(102 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Community," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: Beloved by (a very vocal) few, ignored by many -- that's "Community" in a nutshell. After getting benched in January, "Community" returned to NBC's schedule with a vengeance, getting it a fourth season pick-up for 13 episodes to air on Fridays. Cool, cool, cool -- you can pop, pop! that champagne now.

"Fashion Star"(103 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Fashion Star," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: The high-style reality series with Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson, Elle Macpherson and John Varvatos has certainly been confusing, but it's still a smart business model: The winning designs each week are for sale in stores the next day, and those stores just happen to be covering a large portion of production and advertising costs.

"Fear Factor"(104 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Fear Factor," NBC
Status:
Likely to be renewed
Why: Despite the donkey semen scandal that cut this season of "Fear Factor" a bit short, "Fear Factor" boosts NBC's ratings ... and can a scandal really compete with that?
(credit:NBC)
"The Firm"(105 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Firm," NBC
Status: As good as dead
Why: The show hasn't officially gotten the axe yet, but "The Firm" was moved to Saturdays after turning in an incredibly poor performance (less than a 1 rating in the 18-49 demo) on Thursday nights.
(credit:NBC)
"Free Agents"(106 of119)

"Free Agents," NBC
Status: Canceled
Why: This show just didn't have much life in it. It was canceled after just four episodes, despite its awesome lead actors Hank Azaria and Kathryn Hahn.

"Grimm"(107 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Grimm," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: The supernatural fairy tale drama has been doing well for NBC on Friday nights -- it hovers around the 5 million viewers mark, which is pretty solid by NBC standards and why the network gave the drama an early renewal.

"Harry's Law," NBC
Status:Cancelled
Why: While earlier this year "Harry's Law" was one of NBC's top players, after a three-month break between January and March, the Kathy Bates drama saw mediocre ratings and failed to hold on to viewers.

"Law & Order: SVU," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: The only "Law & Order" left, "SVU" has been an NBC power player for 13 years and will return for a 14th.

"The Office"(110 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Office," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: It's hard to imagine a long-running, fan-favorite show like "The Office" going away without a big promotional push. The numbers are still good (by NBC standards) and "The Office" will return for a Season 9.
(credit:NBC)
"Parenthood"(111 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Parenthood," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: The perpetual bubble show has done pretty consistent numbers for NBC this season, but three seasons in and no signs of growth is both a good and bad sign ... luckily for fans, NBC gave it a Season 4 all the same.

"Parks and Recreation"(112 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Parks and Recreation," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: Just like the rest of NBC's Thursday comedy block, "Parks and Recreation" has serious ratings blues. Can critical acclaim keep "Parks" around for a Season 5? The answer is yes! "Parks" will return for Season 5.

"The Playboy Club"(113 of119)

"The Playboy Club," NBC
Status: Canceled
Why: Apparently fictional slutty bunnies and real-life homewrecker Eddie Cibrian do not a successful show make. It only lasted three episodes. "The Girls Next Door" did it better.

"Prime Suspect"(114 of119)

"Prime Suspect," NBC
Status:

Why: Maria Bello's gruff detective failed to capture the audience NBC hoped. At least we had all those hat jokes.

"Smash"(115 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Smash," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: After a huge promo blitz, "Smash" debuted nicely, but started losing viewers quickly. A handful of episodes in, it stabilized, becoming NBC's #1 drama in the 18-49 demo, and NBC announced it was getting a second season.

"Up All Night"(116 of119)

"Up All Night," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: The critical favorite of NBC's new comedy offerings, "Up All Night" debuted strongly to more than 10 million viewers, but has since dropped to less than 4 million viewers an episode. It will return for a Season 2.
(credit:NBC)
"Whitney"(117 of119)
Open Image Modal
"Whitney," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: The show is one of the better performing freshman offerings on the Peacock network -- and NBC chief Bob Greenblatt told members of the press at TCA that he is "hopeful Whitney will be a long-term player for us." Looks like Season 2 is a good start, with the show moving to Friday nights.

"The Voice"(118 of119)
Open Image Modal
"The Voice," NBC
Status: Renewed
Why: We may not even be at Season 2's live shows yet, but NBC is already up for more of "The Voice." Hopefully, Cee Lo's cat "Purrfect" will return for Season 3 as well.
