An article below from SciFi Wire has a list of scifi-shows most likely to get picked up again for another season. Read the snippet below about “Smallville” which reiterates an earlier article from “TVbytheNumbers“. Check it out:

Smallville: It certainly looked like the end when the CW moved Smallville to Fridays AND it dropped about half its viewers. Note to fans… Ratings on Friday nights suck. TVbytheNumber’s Gorman commented, “For most broadcast shows, exile to Friday means your network thinks the show is past its time, and should peacefully fade away without damaging the ratings of shows on Sunday-Thursday. That’s likely the idea that the CW had when it put Smallville on Fridays this season. But defying conventional wisdom (and to many fans, the wishes of CW chief Dawn Ostroff), not only has Smallville refused to go quietly, it was tied for second best adults 18-49 rating on the CW last week. I know that the CW targets women 18-34, but be certain they sell advertising based on whatever attractive demo ratings they get. Those results cannot be ignored.”
