list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the
2003–04 television season.
Beginning this season, largely resulting from continuing declines in prime time television viewership on that night of the week, the major networks ceased producing original scripted programs for broadcast on Saturday evenings (an exception being ABC's ''

2012–13 season).
PBS is not included, as member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Pax TV (now

Tuesday
Notes:
* NBC originally intended for ''
Average Joe'' to air on its Fall schedule in the 8:00 p.m. ET slot; it chose to delay the reality dating series to Summer. The network originally scheduled ''
The Contender'' to premiere on March 1, 2005 in the 8:00 p.m. ET slot, but opted to delay its premiere to March 9, before switching timeslots with ''
American Dreams'', which had been airing on Sundays during that hour.
* Fox originally intended to air a Fall run of legal drama ''
The Jury'' (which premiered on June 8) in its existing Tuesday slot prior to November; however on July 27, it cancelled the series due to low ratings. (The two remaining episodes of its 10-episode order aired as scheduled on July 30 and August 6.)
Wednesday
Note: Fox originally intended for ''
Method & Red'' to remain in the 9:30 p.m. ET slot, but cancelled it due to low ratings. The network also intended to air ''

Thursday
Note: Fox originally intended to place ''
Tru Calling'' in the 9:00 p.m. ET slot, but elected to push up its second season to Spring and run ''
North Shore'' in the Fall instead.
Friday
Notes:
* Fox originally planned to keep ''
The Jury'' on Fridays, while also slotting ''The Next Great Champ'' as its lead-in in the 8:00 p.m. ET hour; because of ''The Jury''s cancellation, ''The Complex: Malibu'' was picked up last-minute to occupy the slot. The network also originally scheduled ''
The Inside'' in the 8:00 p.m. ET hour (leading into ''Jonny Zero'') for midseason.
* The WB originally scheduled the sitcom ''
Commando Nanny'' in the 9:30 p.m. ET slot; however, it was cancelled prior to the start of the Fall schedule due to production difficulties, resulting in its substitution by ''Blue Collar TV''.
