Now that the new broadcast shows are well into their first season, it's time we bring you another temperature check on which ones have been cancelled or renewed. Right here, you can get a sneak peek at next season's line-up. These 5 updates will give you the rundown on which programs are worth your time and which programs to forget about.

Grade A Performers: Team 'Renewed'

Rosewood, Fox's trending lead-in to Empire, is safe and sound for next season. This freshman drama starring Morris Chestnut performs exceptionally well on what maybe one of the most competitive nights on television. In Rosewood, Morris Chestnut plays a top Miami private pathologist, Dr. Beaumont Rosewood who partners with Detective Annalise Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz) to help uncover clues, solving the city's most challenging cases. In October, Fox issued a full season order for Rosewood, marking the second time a rookie program has been renewed by the network. If you haven't gotten the chance to catch Rosewood on air, full episodes are available on FoxNow. Rosewood is set to return this spring (March 2).

Next up for Fox renewed shows is Grandfathered a scripted comedy starring John Stamos as player-for-life Jimmy who's world is tilted when his estranged son shows up on his doorstep and informs him that not only is he a father but also a grandfather. Christina Milian also stars on the show as Vanessa, the mother of Jimmy's granddaughter. According to Variety, Fox executive, David Madden commented that "Since the very beginning we knew this show would be the rare commodity-- a genuinely original family comedy." Look for the return of Grandfathered on Tuesday January 5. For show updates or to watch full episodes, visit the show page on FoxNow.

Finally for our list of renewed shows is Dr. Ken, ABC's new sitcom starring Ken Jeong (Hangover) who also executive produces the show. The concept for the show is based on Jeong's real life experience of being a doctor before becoming a comedian. In the show, Dr. Ken tries his best to be a great doctor, but drives everyone at home crazy with his flippant personality. Comedic legend, Tisha Campbell-Martin, is also on the show as Damona, the hospital receptionist. Dr. Ken was nominated this year for Favorite New TV Comedy in the People's Choice Awards. Check out Dr. Ken updates and full episodes on ABCGO.

Bye! Bye! Bye! Team 'Cancelled'

First up on our list of shows that got the boot is ABC's Blood and Oil. This scripted drama stars Don Johnson as Hap, Chace Crawford as Billy and Rebecca Rittenhouse as Cody. The show follows Billy and Cody, a married couple, in their rags to riches story after a huge oil discovery. Soon after the two strike gold, they have to deal with a ruthless tycoon--Hap. ABC announced the episode order cut in October. Fans of the show have been imploring the network to reconsider the cancellation on TV Series Finale, but to no avail. Catch Blood &Oil while you can here.

Last but not least is NBC's Truth be Told a new sitcom starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tone Bell, Vanessa Lachey, and Bresha Webb who play two diverse couples who are neighbors and best friends. Throughout the show, these couples navigate the world around them and share their perspectives with one another. The show is executively produced by DJ Nash. NBC announced the episode order cut in October, then followed up two weeks later cancelling the show altogether. During its season, Truth be Told struggled from the very beginning. Within the first three episodes, the show earned the title of lowest-rated of any series in-season on the Big Four networks.
