TV viewers who enjoy a good country tune, a crisp dance, dysfunctional families or edgy criminal and political mysteries can sleep easier as ABC announced it had renewed "Nashville," "Dancing with the Stars," "Modern Family," "Castle" and "Scandal" for the next season, CNN reported.

The network will also hang on to anthology crime drama "American Crime," sitcom "Black-ish," comedy "Fresh Off the Boat," fairy tale-themed musical comedy "Galavant," legal drama "How to Get Away with Murder," comic-inspired "Marvel's Agent Carter" and fairy-tale drama "Once Upon a Time," USA Today noted.

The long-running medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" was also renewed for another season, the newspaper added.

Fans of medical examiner Henry Morgan and law-school grad Cristela Hernandez, however, will have to say goodbye: ABC canceled both "Forever," a drama that centered on an immortal New York doc, and "Cristela," which chronicled the life of an unpaid law-firm intern.

Also on the chopping block ended up fantasy drama "Resurrection" and family drama "Revenge," TVLine said, while the fate of the Tim Allen sitcom "Last Man Standing" was still being determined.

The Hollywood Reporter noted that most of the renewals hail from ABC's own studios, while only four, including "Fresh Off the Boat" and "Modern Family," are produced elsewhere. The fact that the network seems committed to "popular comedies" such as "Black-ish" and "Modern Family," meanwhile, earned its producers praise on social networks, according to CNN.

"Judging by the Twitter reaction, fans couldn't be happier with ABC's decisions," the news channel noted.

ABC also announced verdicts on a number of reality-television shows that air on its network, according to USA Today. Beyond its ever-popular celebrity dance competition, dating game "The Bachelor," business reality "Shark Tank" and its new spinoff, "Beyond the Tank," all earned a spot on next year's lineup.

"America's Funniest Home Videos" and the newsmagazine "20/20" were also given a green light, the newspaper noted.

The high number of renewals and few cancellations "don't appear to leave a great deal of room for new series," the Hollywood Reporter mused, adding that some lineup "holes" remain nevertheless.
