Foxy FOX: What's cancelled/What's picked up/What's renewed

FOX recently released quite a few major renewal/cancellation news, also some of the new TV series they picked up for the incoming 2012-2013 season. 

Let's start with...

What's Cancelled!:

The mystery behind the resurfacing today of former inmates of Alcatraz  will not be revealed anymore. Fox has cancelled this sci-fi thriller drama from the creators of Lost. The show did not succeed in the ratings despite only having 13 episodes in its freshman run. 

Fox also did not find a valuable reason to keep the Bones' spin off show The Finder. 

Terra Nova got extinct as it was also axed by the network. Netflix eyed the series for a renewal but it  did not come out good. Buh-bye Terra Nova... forever. 

House was also cancelled by Fox. The medical drama will air its series finale episode this May.

Fox hates I Hate My teenage Daughter. The freshman drama was also cancelled by the network.

Breaking In did not break in the renewal circle. The show was cancelled.

What's Renewed!:

Fox was touched by Touch. The network renewed the sci fi drama from Heroes creator Tim Kring despite having mediocre ratings. The show is lead by 24 star Kiefer Sutherland. How can he have time to make the 24 movie now??

Fringe was on the fringe of death but the network saved this science fiction series by giving it a final season renewal of 13 episodes. Not bad, huh?

The X-Factor, Bones, New Girl, Raising Hope, and Glee have also been renewed.
