In the world of television, getting canceled doesn’t mean what it used to. The four major U.S. networks have unveiled 31 shows for the 2012-2013 season that begins this fall.

Not all will survive. Among the most recent casualties: In mid-May, the short-lived CBS (CBS) medical drama A Gifted Man got the ax after failing to win viewers. Others such as ABC’s Desperate Housewives made a graceful exit following an eight-season run. Then there’s the case of Pan Am. The 1960s-retro airline drama that aired on Walt Disney’s (DIS) ABC last fall may yet fly again, thanks to the growing demand from new outlets for original programming.

Subscription services such as Netflix (NFLX) and DirecTV (DTV), which compile vast databases on viewing habits, offer shows a chance for a second life. When Netflix ordered a new season of Arrested Development in November, it knew how popular past seasons of the show were with its 26 million subscribers.
