Show Caption Hide Caption Randall Park makes a plea to renew ABC's 'Fresh Off the Boat' Randall Park stars in ABC comedy 'Fresh Off the Boat,' and issues a plea for Save Our Shows voters to help renew the series for a fifth season.

Voting closed Monday in USA TODAY's 21st annual Save Our Shows poll, which asks TV fans to pass judgment on 30 shows hovering "on the bubble" between renewal and cancellation.

NBC's time-travel drama was canceled but then spared last spring, thanks to fan support. But Nielsen ratings continue to be a struggle, so the show — like other top contenders including ABC's Designated Survivor and NBC's The Blacklist — are fighting for survival. And Timeless, with the urging of its loyal fan sites, has climbed sharply in the past week. Fox's Brooklyn Nine-Nine and ABC's Fresh Off the Boat are comedies with strong showings.

Networks will weigh their chances against pilot episodes for replacement series they will screen starting this week. By mid-May, they'll make the final call on which current shows are keepers or goners as they unveil schedules for the 2018-19 season to advertisers in New York.
