November is right around the corner, and the TV networks normally would be handing out cancellation notices.

But this fall, they're handing out renewals. Only one show — the CW's double-named dud "The Beautiful Life: TBL" — has been canceled, while 11 so far have been picked up for the full season.

Four of the shows given full-season renewals are comedies, five if you count Fox's musical extravaganza "Glee," and that's the most surprising fact about this atypical TV season. Comedy, presumed dead, is back in a big way, with ABC's two-hour block of new comedies going three for four with early renewals and even NBC scoring with its new show "Community."

Viewers have latched onto several new dramas, too, most notably "The Vampire Diaries," which has given a life-saving transfusion of buzz to the CW, and to "NCIS: Los Angeles," which proved a perfect pair with its parent show on CBS.

Here's a scorecard of fall's winners and losers, followed by a list of struggling shows for which there might (or might not) still be hope.

WINNERS

Picked up for the full season — "Modern Family," ABC — "The Middle," ABC — "Cougar Town," ABC — "FlashForward," ABC — "Glee," Fox — "The Cleveland Show," Fox (picked up for two seasons) — "The Vampire Diaries," CW — "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS — "The Good Wife," CBS — "Mercy," NBC — "Community," NBC

LOSERS

"The Beautiful Life: TBL," the CW. Canceled after two episodes.

"Southland," NBC. Canceled before Season 2 premiere. There's still a chance a cable network, most likely TNT, will pick up the six episodes already produced, with the possibility of ordering more.

"Dollhouse," Fox. On hiatus. In its second season, the Joss Whedon series has been drawing such low ratings that Fox has pulled it from the schedule during November sweeps. Episodes will air back to back Dec. 4, 11 and 18.

"Brothers," Fox. Bumped from Fridays; will air at 6 p.m. Sundays after the World Series. Nobody's watching.

"Til Death," Fox. On hiatus, with no new episodes scheduled in the near future but two full seasons — this one and the next — already on order in what is apparently a complicated deal involving syndication sales.

STRUGGLING

"Three Rivers," CBS. Some predictions are that the Alex O'Loughlin transplant drama airing Sunday nights will be the next show canceled.

"Trauma," NBC. Rewarding "Mercy" and "Community" with full-season orders, NBC ignored "Trauma," which can't be considered positive feedback.

"Eastwick," ABC. The network is trying to act upbeat, but fans aren't optimistic; in fact, they've started a "save our show" campaign.

"The Forgotten," ABC. Christian Slater's tedious drama about volunteers solving cold cases isn't losing viewers from week to week. That's the only positive news to be found.

"Hank," ABC. The Kelsey Grammer sitcom is the weak link in ABC's Wednesday comedy lineup and was passed over when the three shows that follow it were renewed.

"Melrose Place," the CW. Can Heather Locklear revive this fizz-free soap? The CW is holding on to find out.

"The Jay Leno Show," NBC. Repeat after NBC: It's a marathon, not a sprint. Leno will be new 46 weeks a year, while competitors are in reruns. And don't forget, Leno's talk show costs only one-fifth as much as a scripted hour. But NBC affiliates are beginning to complain that small audiences for Leno are hurting their late news.
