Even with 9 weeks of ratings under its belt AP Bio has yet to lean one way or another towards renewal and still is sitting squarely on the edge. While some may view this as bad news that the show has yet to be renewed, I don’t think it is necessarily bad when you look at what else hasn’t been rented in the NBC lineup. NBC has yet to renew Law & Order SVU, or any of its Chicago shows. It has renewed though Superstore already though. So while one could argue that AP Bio is in the awaiting renewal company of shows with a strong likelihood of renewal which is a good sign, it can also be a bad sign that Superstore, another NBC half hour comedy, has already been renewed.
It is also is interesting here to look at the recent ratings for the show which are beginning to level off around a .7 or .6. Considering the show had very unstable ratings its first few weeks with all of the changes to its air times that could explain why NBC has been holding off on a renewal decision. They likely would have wanted to see what ratings for the show were like once it settled into a routine schedule and could attract a regular audience.
