Fox renews 'Touch,' cancels 'Alcatraz' and 'The Finder'

Fox has announced that is has renewed 'Touch' for a second season, but has cancelled 'Alcatraz' and 'The Finder.'

'Touch' is being given a chance by Fox despite so-so ratings.  Fox has a long relationship with the shows star Kiefer Sutherland from his days on '24,' so this likely played into the decision.

The show, about a widower who struggles to connect with his mute son who has unique abilities, seemed enough to propel the drama into a hit for Fox.    The series previewed in January after 'American Idol' and drew 12 million viewers.   It seemed to retain much of the viewership when it returned 2 months later in its regular Thursday time slot.  But it has since seen its numbers fall.
