According to TVLine's Michael Ausiello, ABC has renewed Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, Revenge, Castle, Once Upon a Time, Nashville, Modern Family, The Middle, Suburgatory and Last Man Standing for the 2013-2014 TV season. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some information on which shows ABC has canceled:
On the cancellation front, Malibu Country, Body of Proof, How to Live With Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life), Red Widow and Happy Endings have been axed (full story on H.E.‘s demise here).

My thoughts: In terms of all the shows that ABC has renewed for the 2013-2014 TV season, most of these renewals don't come as a surprise to me. Although, I am kind of surprised that Nashville has been renewed despite what a lot of entertainment news reporters had been saying about the show's renewal chances. From where I'm standing, Nashville's ratings haven't been very good for most of the season, so I wasn't expecting it to be renewed. I've never watched Nashville before, but I'm definitely happy for the show's fans that it has been renewed.
Suburgatory's ratings weren't the greatest this year, so I was definitely kind of worried that the show might be canceled. I'll admit that it took a while for Suburgatory to grow on me, but I've really come to love the show, so I'm thrilled that it has been renewed as well. Suburgatory is an incredibly underrated show, if you ask me. Last Man Standing's renewal is a little bit surprising to me, but I do kind of like the show, so I'm glad that it has been renewed. I guess the ABC network executives were happy with Last Man Standing's ratings on Friday nights this past season. In terms of all the other shows that have been renewed, none of these renewals come as a surprise to me. With the exception of Castle, which I only watch occasionally, I watch all of these shows every week and consider them to be some of my favorite TV shows, so I'm really happy that they've all been renewed.
When it comes to the shows that ABC has canceled, the only cancellation that I'm truly upset about is Happy Endings, but I can't say that I didn't see the show's cancellation coming given how bad its ratings were this past season. In case I haven't already made it perfectly clear to anybody who reads my blog on a regular basis, Happy Endings is one of my top favorite comedies, so I really hope that the USA network does end up picking up the show for a fourth season like they've apparently expressed interest in doing. Happy Endings is a truly hilarious and underrated show, so I would hate to see it end now.
