YOUR RANKING: #24 (65% hated it; 35% loved it)

YOUR RANKING: #22 (59% hated it; 41% loved it)

WHAT IT IS: A sweet, funny family comedy starring Anthony Anderson and Laurence Fishburne
YOUR RANKING: #20 (47% hated it; 53% loved it)
CHANCES OF SURVIVAL: Good reviews, 11 million premiere viewers, and managing to hold its own in the coveted (but oft-fatal) post-Modern Family timeslot means ABC already picked the sitcom up for a full season.

YOUR RANKING: #10 (74% loved it; 26% hated it)
OUR RANKING: #12
CHANCES OF SURVIVAL: In case you missed the weekly newsletter: everyone is in love with star Gina Rodriguez (and rightfully so!). And while the premiere numbers (1.63 million viewers) weren't nearly as impressive as The Flash's debut, it was the network's most-watched series in its timeslot since 2012, leading to a early full season order. This Jane is anything but plain, it would seem!

YOUR RANKING: #6 (79% loved it; 21% hated it)
