-Perfect Couples has not been officially canceled, but most of its Thursday night cohorts were picked up (other than Outsourced), it was pulled from the schedule starting next week, and star Olivia Munn seemed to tweet it was dead. I'm giving it a 1% chance of survival since it's not officially cancelled and if the stars of The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, and Community were to all suddenly disappear, NBC would probably have no choice but to pick it up. But it's dead.
 
-Parks and Rec, Community, The Office, and HIMYM (x2) were all officially picked up, and Mike and Molly appears to be a lock as well.
 
-Two and a Half Men continues to be an enigma. Who knows what's going to happen with that?
 
-Community is just holding off Parks and Rec. The Office is coming off it's best episode since the hourlong Niagra last season. Mr. Sunshine continues to improve, while Mad Love regresses.
 
-April includes the debut of three new sitcoms. Breaking In on Fox, which was not picked up until November and therefore not included in the season preview, starts up this week. Next week will include ABC's Happy Endings and NBC's The Paul Reiser Show. Those will all be included in the April rankings.
