Parenthood: Tv version of the Steve Martin film of the same name. And from the preview... Dude! Craig T. Nelson! FTW!!!

Chuck's season finale was so great I've decided it is my favorite show on television. I really hope they keep it. I'm going to be so very bummed if they don't.

Parenthood: Tv version of the Steve Martin film of the same name. And from the preview... Dude! Craig T. Nelson! FTW!!!

I loved this movie, and I think Craig T Nelson will be great. Wasn't there a short-lived Parenthood sitcom way back when? Or am I remembering wrong?

[Raph's Girl]

Wow... Fox renewed Fringe!!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090505/tv_nm/us_fringe_1

[TheCanadiandrome]

any news on shows like Knight Rider or Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles?

[GK Punk]

Knight Rider is cancelled, Terminator we dont know yet. But if it gets canceled, I may go on a killing spree.

[Raph's Girl]

any news on shows like Knight Rider or Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles?

Sarah Connor is on the Bubble. Life and Knight Rider are now officially cancelled.

[Ginny]

Wow... Fox renewed Fringe!!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090505/tv_nm/us_fringe_1


YES!!! Love it! That's awesome!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Sarah Connor is on the Bubble. Life and Knight Rider are now officially cancelled.

Damn! i liked Knight Rider! it's all the Hoff's fault! if he would've done more cameos instead of that stupid 'America's Got Talent' than maybe the show would've had a chance.

i could see TSCC being canned, now that Derek's dead (i know he wasn't exactly a big whoop, but c'mon!), and there's never been any real plot to the show

[ZariusTwo]

It's not Hasselhoff's fault. If the series had been more like the second half from the get-go it'd have grabbed ratings.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I can't believe NBC kept that sad sack of sh*t on the air as long as they did. It was embarrassing. Still waiting to hear about Dollhouse. If that gets canceled, I'll die.

[TheCanadiandrome]

It's not Hasselhoff's fault. If the series had been more like the second half from the get-go it'd have grabbed ratings.

i know it's not his fault, i wasn't serious when i wrote that. but he still could've done more cameos. the show was alright, though not even close to the original, except name only. it was kinda cool to see it go back to the original series' story on KARR, though the whole "giant robot car thingy" was a lame idea. too bad though, a reboot of the franchise seemed like a good idea

[Raph's Girl]

http://www.mania.com/fox-renews-dollhouse_article_115097.html

Against all odds and early media predictions of its demise, Fox has announced that they're picking up a season two of Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse", says The Hollywood Reporter. The renewal becomes the third freshman series to be given another chance by the network after their early pick-ups for "Fringe" and "Lie to Me".

The official announcement will not be made until Monday at the network's upfront presentation, but sources confirm a deal has been struck for another 13 episodes. Fox plans to continue the show on Fridays next fall.

Wow...something must have frozen over at FOX for them to renew so many new shows.

[TheCanadiandrome]

guess some people actually watch those shows. any way, what's the scoop on Terminator TSCC? any word yet?

[GK Punk]

With all these shows getting renewed, I'm scared Terminator will be the one that isn't.

[Ninjinister]

Can't say we didn't all see this coming:

Wow...something must have frozen over at FOX for them to renew so many new shows.

Fu*king YEAH! Best show with the highest quality writing in YEARS. This makes me feel warm inside.

[GK Punk]

Which is funny, as I feel it was one of the worst show's I've seen in a long time :lol:

[Guitar_Raph]

Parenthood: Tv version of the Steve Martin film of the same name. And from the preview... Dude! Craig T. Nelson! FTW!!!

This is the 2nd time NBC's doing that movie as a tv series. Back in 1990, Ed Begley Jr. played the Steve Martin role while one of the kids went on to the final season of Growing Pains & became a superstar, Leonardo DeCaprio.

[Raph's Girl]

guess some people actually watch those shows. any way, what's the scoop on Terminator TSCC? any word yet?

We'll know for sure Monday when FOX announces their fall schedule.

[BubblyShell22]

I hope they keep House around. That show keeps getting better and better.

[Raph's Girl]

I hope they keep House around. That show keeps getting better and better.

House was renewed a couple months ago.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Which is funny, as I feel it was one of the worst show's I've seen in a long time :lol:

well, i've not watched an episode, but just from clips that i've seen, it does seem like it's lame

We'll know for sure Monday when FOX announces their fall schedule.

sweetness

[Ginny]

I'm very happy that Fringe and Lie To Me were renewed. They are two of my favorites. But has anyone heard if there been any official word on Chuck yet? I haven't heard anything and that is my favorite show right now, the season finale was so great!

[Raph's Girl]

I'm very happy that Fringe and Lie To Me were renewed. They are two of my favorites. But has anyone heard if there been any official word on Chuck yet?

Chuck was renewed

[Raph's Girl]

GLEE

McKinley High School's Glee Club used to be at the top of the show choir world, but years later, it has turned into a haven for misfits and social outcasts. But at McKinley, things for the Glee Club are about to change. From Ryan Murphy, the creator of "Nip/Tuck," comes GLEE, an uplifting comedy musical series with biting humor that features a soundtrack of hit music from past to present. The show follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to refuel his own passion for singing while reinventing the school's glee club and challenging a group of underdogs to realize their star potential.

THE CLEVELAND SHOW

THE CLEVELAND SHOW is a new animated series that follows everyone's favorite soft-spoken neighbor, CLEVELAND BROWN (Mike Henry), to his hometown in Virginia as he settles down with his high school sweetheart, her unruly kids and his own 14-year-old son, CLEVELAND JR. (Kevin Michael Richardson). Many years ago, Cleveland was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named DONNA (Sanaa Lathan). Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he'd be there when she called. Well, this man done her wrong. Donna's husband ran off, leaving Donna with a teenage daughter and a young son. Now she's open to Cleveland and has offered him another chance at love. Unattached after the Loretta-Quagmire debacle and true to his word, Cleveland joyously reunites with Donna, and he and Cleveland Jr. move to Virginia to join their new family.

BROTHERS

Starring Michael Strahan ("FOX NFL Sunday") and Daryl "Chill" Mitchell ("Ed," "Veronica's Closet"), BROTHERS is a new half-hour comedy about a former NFL hot shot who learns that even though you can always go home again, the trip back might be tougher than you think. MIKE TRAINOR (Strahan) seemingly has it all he's a good-looking, wealthy and recently retired NFL player living the high-life in New York City, but he's about to get sidelined. When Mike gets a phone call from his MOM (CCH Pounder, "The Shield") who orders him home to Houston, he quickly realizes the more his life has changed, the more his family has stayed the same. His brother CHILL (Daryl "Chill" Mitchell), whose life was altered drastically after a car accident left him in a wheelchair, is struggling to keep his restaurant afloat with the help of his loudmouth associate, ROSCOE (Colton Dunn, "MADtv"). The dynamics between Mike and Chill are the same as when they were kids, and their sibling rivalry hasn't lessened with age. If they can stop their bickering, put aside their differences and learn to be teammates, the brothers might just turn out to be each other's biggest asset.

HUMAN TARGET

It takes a brave, selfless man to make himself a "human target" in order to save the lives of those in danger. Based on the popular DC Comics graphic novel, HUMAN TARGET is a full-throttle action drama centered on CHRISTOPHER CHANCE (Mark Valley, FRINGE), a unique private contractor/security guard hired to protect. Call him what you like, because for Chance, it's about one thing only: saving his clients' lives. When there is an unusual or imminent threat that can't be solved through "normal" means of protection, Chance is hired to completely integrate himself into his clients' lives to become the human target. If you're a corporate manager whose disgruntled employee has gone violently off the deep end, Chance is your new auditor. If you're the president of a bank who's been tipped off to a potential heist, Chance is your unassuming bank teller. During each job, Chance, assisted by his business partner WINSTON (Chi McBride, "Pushing Daisies") and hired gun GUERRERO (Jackie Earle Haley, "Watchmen"), puts himself directly in the line of fire as he races against time to save his client, while unraveling the truth behind the mission.

PAST LIFE

Have you ever experienced deja vu or met someone you thought seemed familiar? Do you believe in karma, fate or love at first sight? From writer David Hudgins ("Friday Night Lights"), and inspired by the book "The Reincarnationist" by M.J. Rose, comes PAST LIFE, a new drama series about an unlikely pair of past-life detectives who investigate whether what is happening to you today is the result of who you were before. DR. KATE MCGINN (Kelli Giddish, "All My Children") is not your typical psychologist. Confident, outspoken and highly educated, she works at The Talmadge Center for Behavioral Health in New York City, a world-renowned institute dedicated to the study of the science of the soul. After experiencing a past-life regression in her 20s, Kate became a believer in reincarnation. Using regression therapy and her natural gift for reading people, Kate helps solve the mysteries of her troubled clients who suffer from present-day problems caused by past-life traumas. She believes there are levels of consciousness and explanations for human behavior that science can't begin to explain. Accustomed to skeptics, but not bothered by them, Kate is an unapologetic believer and a force of nature who marches to the beat of her own drummer. Her partner, PRICE WHATLEY (Nicholas Bishop, "Home and Away"), is a different story. A former NYPD homicide detective, pragmatic and cynical, Price is a damaged soul who constantly battles grief and guilt over the accidental death of his wife. Price feels that Kate, though not certifiable, certainly operates on the fringes of science. It's a volatile relationship, but with Price's solid detective skills, and Kate's penchant for out-of-the-box thinking, together they make a formidable, if somewhat dysfunctional, team.

SONS OF TUCSON

In the tradition of "Malcolm in the Middle" and "The Bernie Mac Show," SONS OF TUCSON is a family comedy about three brothers who hire a charming, wayward schemer to stand in as their father when their real one goes to prison. What begins as a business relationship evolves into something more complex and compelling: a family unlike any we've ever seen. The three brothers find their dad-for-hire, RON SNUFFKIN (Tyler Labine, "Reaper"), at the local sporting good store. Ron will be forced to draw on a wide array of skills and a vast bag of tricks as he steps into the patriarch role to take care of the boys of the Gunderson family. ROBBY GUNDERSON (Davis Cleveland, "How I Met Your Mother"), 8, is a loose cannon who doesn't respond well to authority; GARY GUNDERSON (Frank Dolce, "Doubt"), 11, is a bright and street-savvy leader who is every bit the con man his father is; and BRANDON GUNDERSON (Troy Gentile, "Entourage"), 13, is a gentle free spirit who simply goes along for the ride.

Of all the new shows the only one that peaks my interest is the DC Comics one... if only cuz I loved Jackie Earle Haley as Roraschach. :D

[Ginny]

I'm very excited that Chuck was renewed! :thumbsup::D:thumbsup:

It looks like I'm going to be loving Thursday night, Bones and Fringe! Awesome! One thing I'm wondering is if Hell's Kitchen and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares will return at all. Maybe over the summer? All I know is, I think that man is brutally hot, and I hope that it comes back.

[Raph's Girl]

One thing I'm wondering is if Hell's Kitchen and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares will return at all. Maybe over the summer? All I know is, I think that man is brutally hot, and I hope that it comes back.

Hell's Kitchen returns this Summer

[GK Punk]

I hope someone else pics up Terminator.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I hope someone else pics up Terminator.

don't hold your breath on that happening. besides, the show's creators/producers kinda screwed the pootch when they killed off Derek and the show started to make even less sense for about 90% of the season.

[GK Punk]

They didn't kill Derrick until the end of the season though. They can continue on with out him if they need to. and even though I doubt it being picked up, I don't see why it couldn't be a possibility, Cable channels often pick up cancelled creator owned shows. Sci-Fi or USA or a channel like that could always pick it up if they desired. As unlikely as it is.

[Ninjinister]

Or, since John's in that alternate future where Derek's still alive... yeah... didn't anybody see the finale?

[GK Punk]

I figured it wasn't worth mentioning just in case he goes back. We have no idea where they were going with that, so I thought I'd just leave it alone.

[Ninjinister]

Just figured it was still an option.

[GK Punk]

Yeah it totally is. I guess I was just trying to say even if for some reason he's gone from the show, they'd be able to continue on with out him. He was just a secondary character.

[XERO]

You know, Christian Bale can ALWAYS make a cameo. :P

[TheCanadiandrome]

a secondary character with some releveance. and yeah it would be good if another network, preferably none of the ones you mentioned, simply cause it would lose half the audience it had, cause not everyone has Sc-Fi and the USA network, it's just unlikely. plus as i said, it was really going in crazy directions and started to make no sense at all. any way, it's gone, so there's really nothing that can be done. sadly i'd like Knight Rider to return but it's gone as well

[GK Punk]

I just wonder if those directions were leading somewhere that we'll never get to see now. They must have had a plan for it. I'll admit that season 2 wasn't as good as season 1, but I think what really hurt the show was Fox jerking it around. Air a few eps, stop, air a few eps, stop, change Day and time, cancel.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yup, agree with you there. Fox is just a bad netork at times period. they don't like a show they seem to screw with it until they just finally can it

[GK Punk]

It seems to be a common theme with them, doesn't it?

[ThirdMarioBro]

Fox has been doing this with shows for as long as I can remember. I know the same will befall Dollhouse next season, just like Sarah Conner. I've already decided that is the last Fox show I'm ever letting myself get attached to for that reason. They never change. Remember that list of canceled shows Peter listed after the second time Family Guy got renewed? Fox pretty much did the same thing to all of them. If any of us should learn a lesson, it's to not get attached to anything on Fox, because they'll shuffle/juggle/switch/jumble the show until the viewers give up, then cancel it for an American Idol spin-off/knock-off, or Japanese game show.

[Guitar_Raph]

So last Sunday's season finale of King of the Hill was really the Series Finale. After 10 years, Fox dethrones the Hills.

Also, they expelled Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader as well! However, like Millionaire & Weakest Link, 5th Grader jumps from network to syndication as well. Wonder if Jeff Foxworthy will be replaced (Meredith Vieira replaced Regis & Jeff Gray replaced Anne Robinson)?

[Raph's Girl]

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41128

It was announced in November that King of the Hill was cancelled. Are You Smarter Than A 5th Greater is not a fall show, it's a summer show. :P

Here's ABC's schedule: Samantha Who?, The Unusuals, and Cupid are all cancelled. Cupid will never ever become popular. That was the 2nd attempt at the danged thing.

The only way for these first-years to survive is to support each othereven as they compete against one another in the cutthroat arena of high-end law. Sex, greed, romance, betrayal it's all part of being a first year associate at Sterling Law.

"The Deep End" stars Matt Long as Dylan Hewitt, Ben Lawson as Liam Priory, Tina Majorino as Addy Fisher, Norbert Leo Butz as Rowdy Kaiser, Leah Pipes as Beth Bancroft, Billy Zane as Cliff Huddle, Sherri Saum as Susan Oppenheim and Clancy Brown as Hart Sterling.

Dude!! Clancy Brown and Billy Zane?! :o

"EASTWICK"

Three very different women find themselves drawn together by a mysterious man who unleashes unique powers in each of them, and this small New England town will never be the same. The series is based on the popular movie "The Witches of Eastwick" and on the novel of the same title by John Updike.

"Eastwick" stars Rebecca Romijn as Roxie Torcoletti, Lindsay Price as Joanna Frankel, Jamie Ray Newman as Kat Gardener, Paul Gross as Darryl Van Horne, Sara Rue as Penny, Veronica Cartwright as Bun, Johann Urb as Will, Jon Bernthal as Raymond and Ashley Benson as Mia.

So... Charmed with Robecca Romijn.

"FLASH FORWARD"

When a mysterious event causes the entire world to black out, humanity is given a glimpse into its near future, and every man, woman and child is forced to come to grips with whether their destinies can be avoided or fulfilled.

John Cho has gone from being in Star Trek to this? I've been seeing the trailers for this on tv the last couple days. It seems...odd yet interesting.

"THE FORGOTTEN"

From executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer comes a crime show in which a team of dedicated amateurs work on cases involving unidentified victims. After the police have given up, this group must first solve the puzzle of the victim's identity in order to then help catch the killer. They work to give the deceased back their names, lest they become -- The Forgotten.

"The Forgotten" stars Rupert Penry-Jones as Alex, Reiko Aylesworth as Linda, Michelle Borth as Candace, Bob Stephenson as Walter, Anthony Carrigan as Tyler and Rochelle Aytes as Detective Grace Russell.

So it's like CSI but it isn't

"HAPPY TOWN"

Haplin, Minnesota, "Happy Town," is approaching almost a decade of peace after being riddled for years by unsolved kidnappings. But in the wake of this small town's first crime in seven years, some dark truths are being revealed about some familiar faces. They say every town has its secrets that doesn't even begin to describe Happy Town.

"Happy Town" stars Geoff Stults as Tommy Conroy, Lauren German as Henley, Amy Acker as Rachel Conroy, Dean Winters as John Haplin, John Patrick Amedori as Andrew Haplin, Sarah Gadon as Georgia Bravin, Jay Paulson as Larry Root Beer' Rogers, Robert Wisdom as Roger Hobbes and Sam Neill as Merritt Grieves. [/QUOTE

Hmm... Amy Acker and Sam Neill...cool.... I haven't seen Sam Neill in anything since he was killed off in The Tudors.

[QUOTE]"V"

"V" is a re-imagining of the 1980's miniseries about the world's first encounter with an alien race in which the aliens call themselves The Visitors, and have a seemingly friendly agenda that may or may not be a cover for something more malevolent.

"V" stars Elizabeth Mitchell as Erica Evans, Morris Chestnut as Ryan Nichols, Joel Gretsch as Father Jack Landry, Lourdes Benedicto as Valerie Stevens, Logan Huffman as Tyler Evans, Laura Vandervoort as Lisa, with Morena Baccarin as Anna and Scott Wolf as Chad Decker.

With Laura Vandervoort in this I guess we really won't be seeing Supergirl for a while in Smallville

"COUGAR TOWN"

Courteney Cox stars as a recently divorced single mother exploring the honest truths about dating and aging in our beauty and youth obsessed culture.

"Cougar Town" stars Courteney Cox as Jules, Christa Miller as Elle, Busy Philipps as Laurie, Dan Byrd as Travis, Brian Van Holt as Bobby, Josh Hopkins as Grayson and Ian Gomez as Andy.

This'll probaby last as long as Courtney's last show.... :P

"HANK"

Kelsey Grammer stars in this timely comedy as Hank Pryor, a titan of industry who suddenly finds himself out of work, almost out of money and around a wife and kids for whom he's never made much time. Despite his recent setbacks, however, Hank is confident he's on the road back to the top. He knows he is destined to return to greatness. And he is just not the greatness he imagines.

"Hank" stars Kelsey Grammer as Hank, Melinda McGraw as Tilly, David Koechner as Grady, Macey Cruthird as Maddie and Ryan Wynott as Henry.

Kelsey Grammar's back! Awesome!

"THE MIDDLE"

The Hecks are a middle class family living in the middle of Indiana, just trying to keep their heads above water. Emmy-winner Patricia Heaton stars as a wife and mother of three in a comedy about raising a family and lowering your expectations.

"The Middle" stars Patricia Heaton as Frankie, Neil Flynn as Mike, Eden Sher as Sue, Atticus Shaffer as Brick and Charlie McDermott as Axel.

Brick and Axel???

"MODERN FAMILY"

Today's American families come in all shapes and sizes. Shot from the perspective of an unseen documentary filmmaker, this comedy takes a modern look at the complications that come with being a family in 2009.

"Modern Family" stars Ed O'Neill as Jay, Sofa Vergara as Gloria, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell, Eric Stonestreet as Cameron, Ty Burrell as Phil, Julie Bowen as Claire, Sarah Hyland as Haley, Rico Rodriguez as Manny, Nolan Gould as Luke and Ariel Winter as Alex.

Yay!! Ed O'Neill!!!

"SHARK TANK"

From Mark Burnett, executive producer of "Survivor" and "The Apprentice," and Sony Pictures Television comes "Shark Tank," an exciting new reality show that gives budding entrepreneurs the chance to make their dreams come true and become successful and possibly wealthy business people. But the entrepreneurs must first try to convince five tough, multi-millionaire tycoons to part with their own hard-earned cash and give them the funding they need to jumpstart their ideas.

In these trying economic times, it's difficult for an individual possessing a dream or even a working small business poised for growth to get a loan for a risky venture. Whether it be an imaginative enhancement for an existing product, a family recipe that has all the ingredients to become a profitable culinary treat, or the latest technological gadget that could take the world by storm, most of these dreams die an early death because no one dared take a financial chance on someone with an unproven and oftentimes outrageous proposal. Many of these people now see "Shark Tank" as their last chance at success. Some have been laboring on their ideas for years or even decades, have invested large amounts of money, and are being pressured to throw in the towel by friends and family. Others have simply never had access to the means to live out their dreams, until now.

Enter the Sharks of "Shark Tank" Barbara Corcoran (Manhattan real estate titan), Kevin Harrington (king of infomercials), Robert Herjavec (technology tycoon), Daymond John (fashion mogul) and Kevin O'Leary (venture capitalist) five multi-millionaires who lifted themselves up by their bootstraps to make their own entrepreneurial dreams come true and turned their ideas into empires.

Each week ambitious entrepreneurs from across the country will present their breakthrough business concepts, products, properties and services to the panel of ruthless investors. Their goal is to convince these merciless moguls to invest their own dollars in the concept. Convincing real-life millionaires to part with their own money is no easy task, because when the idea is poor, the Sharks will tear into the ill-prepared presenters and pass on the idea with a simple, "I'm out!" -- sending them running for the exit.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I used to watch Earl a lot when it first started. I haven't followed it regularly in a while but it's always good for a few laughs and it's gotta be funnier than anything associated with Sarah Silverman. NBC had a good Thursday night going until now.

This Jay Leno experiment will fail.

Watching the Glee preview. I think I'm gonna like this very bizarre sit-com.

I agree with you, pretty bizarre sitcom.

When that football player was forced to join that glee club, his teammates paintballed him for being a musical athlete! A far cry from when Peter Brady joined the glee club & his football buddies called him a canary!

Of course, only singing & dancing's allowed. Play an instrument, you're in the sidelines as always. The last person who played an instrument & sang is Drake Bell (Drake & Josh).

[PAAATE]

Do you have like 4 DVRs set up at your house so you can watch every hour of primetime television? I mean...you're way too into this.

I, too, watch a lot of TV... So does one of my cousins... And there's a very practical, although illegal way to watch TV anytime you want to without any DVRs ;)

Oh... And TV rules...

[ThirdMarioBro]

Conan's Tonight Show will long outlive The Jay Leno Show. Of that, I am sure. The Loss of Earl sucks. It was actually funny.

Meh, just another reason to watch less TV.

[BubblyShell22]

What the hell? Heroes is on the same time as House? That sucks. Now I'll have to choose between two of my favorite shows. I wish they would've kept Heroes in the 9:00 time slot. That way I could watch two of my fave shows without having to choose. This is very bad for me.

[Raph's Girl]

I'll have no choice but to watch Heroes on Hulu. :P

NCIS: LOS ANGELES is a drama about the high stakes world of undercover surveillance at the Office of Special Projects (OSP), a division of NCIS that is charged with apprehending dangerous and elusive criminals that pose a threat to the nation's security. By assuming false identities and utilizing the most advanced technology, this team of highly trained agents goes deep undercover, putting their lives on the line in the field to bring down their targets. Special Agent "G" Callen (Chris O'Donnell) is a chameleon who transforms himself into whomever he needs to be to infiltrate the criminal underworld. His partner is Special Agent Sam Hanna (LL COOL J), a former U.S. Navy SEAL who has seen action in both Afghanistan and Iraq, and a surveillance expert who uses state of the art monitoring equipment to look out for those in the field and feed them crucial information. Both Callen and Hanna report to Special Agent Lara Macy (Louise Lombard), the OSP team leader responsible for directing the operations and making life-or-death decisions. Assisting the team is Special Agent Kensi Lo (Daniela Ruah), the exceptionally bright daughter of a slain Marine who lives for the adrenalin rush that comes with undercover work, and Operational Psychologist Nate Getz (Peter Cambor), adept at getting into anybody's head, profiling the target and monitoring agents' states of mind before, during and after missions.

THE GOOD WIFE is a drama starring Emmy Award winner Julianna Margulies as a wife and mother who must assume full responsibility for her family and re-enter the workforce after her husband's very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail. Pushing aside the betrayal and crushing public humiliation caused by her husband Peter (Chris Noth), Alicia Florrick (Margulies) starts over by pursuing her original career as a defense attorney. As a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm, she joins her longtime friend, former law school classmate and firm partner Will Gardner (Josh Charles), who is interested to see how Alicia will perform after 13 years out of the courtroom. Alicia is grateful the firm's top litigator, Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski), offers to mentor her but discovers the offer has conditions and realizes she's going to need to succeed on her own merit. Alicia's main competition among the firm's 20-something new recruits is Cary (Matt Czuchry), a recent Harvard grad who is affable on the surface, but will use any means to ensure that he, not Alicia, secures the one full-time associate position that's available. Fortunately, Alicia finds an ally in Kalinda (Archie Panjabi), the firm's tough in-house investigator. Gaining confidence every day, Alicia transforms herself from embarrassed politician's scorned wife to resilient career woman, especially for the sake of providing a stable home for her children, 14-year-old Zach (Graham Phillips) and 13-year-old Grace (Makenzie Vega). For the first time in years, Alicia trades in her identity as the "good wife" and takes charge of her own destiny.

THREE RIVERS is a medical drama that goes inside the emotionally complex lives of organ donors, the recipients and the surgeons at the preeminent transplant hospital in the country where every moment counts. However, dealing with donor families in their darkest hour and managing the fears and concerns of apprehensive recipients takes much more than just a sharp scalpel. Leading the elite team is Dr. Andy Yablonski (Alex O'Loughlin), the highly-skilled workaholic lead organ transplant surgeon, whose good-natured personality and sarcastic wit makes him popular with his patients and colleagues. His colleagues include Dr. Miranda Foster (Katherine Moennig), a surgical fellow with a rebellious streak and fiery temper who strives to live up to her deceased father's excellent surgical reputation; Dr. David Lee (Daniel Henney), a womanizing surgical resident who's broken as many hearts as he's replaced; Ryan Abbott (Christopher J. Hanke), the inexperienced new transplant coordinator who arranges the intricately choreographed process of quickly and carefully transporting organs from donor to patient; Dr. Sophia Jordan (Julia Ormond), the head of surgery and a dedicated medical professional; and Pam Acosta (Justina Machado), Andy's no-nonsense operating assistant and best friend. In this high stakes arena, in which every case is a race against the clock, these tenacious surgeons and medical professionals are the last hope for their patients.

ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE is a comedy starring Golden Globe Award winner Jenna Elfman as Billie, a single woman who finds herself "accidentally" pregnant after a one-night stand with a much younger guy, and decides to keep the baby... and the guy. A newspaper film critic, Billie is barely surviving a humiliating breakup with her charming boss, James (Grant Show), who's still trying to resume their relationship. Suddenly expecting a child with her "boy toy," Zack (Jon Foster), Billie and Zack make an arrangement: to live together platonically. Billie's party girl best friend Olivia (Ashley Jensen), and Abby (Lennon Parham), her conventional, younger married sister, eagerly look forward to the new addition and offer their own brands of advice and encouragement. But when Zack and his freeloading friends, including Davis (Nicolas Wright), start to turn her place into a frat house, Billie isn't sure if she's living with a boyfriend, a roommate, or if she just has another child to raise.

Midseason replacements:

THE BRIDGE is a drama about a tough and dedicated police officer who is voted to become the police union's dynamic leader. To serve the public as well as his 8,000 fellow officers, charismatic Frank Leo (Aaron Douglas) battles criminals on the street, corruption in the ranks and his own bosses. On the force is his able partner and confidante Tommy Dunn (Paul Popowich), who rides with Frank across the bridge that spans the divide between the rich and the poor in the area they patrol; Staff Sergeant Bernie Kantor (Frank Cassini), a voice of reason and moral sounding board; Jill (Inga Cadranel), a detective with a lot of attitude who is moving up the ranks; Billy (Theresa Joy), a young female cop who is determined to prove herself to the guys; and Ed Wycoff (Michael Murphy), the shrewd Chief of Police. Abby St. James (Ona Grauer) is a sharp prosecutor who begins working with the police union, and shares a mutual attraction with Frank. In his new position, Frank Leo takes on the politically-motivated department brass... and makes many powerful enemies in the process.

MIAMI TRAUMA is about a team of expert surgeons who work at one of the premiere trauma facilities in the country, where only patients with life threatening injuries are treated. Dr. Matthew Proctor (Jeremy Northam) is new to the trauma team, after a tour of duty in a MASH unit during the Gulf war. Dr. Eva Zambrano (Lana Parrilla) is a workaholic surgeon who is more comfortable in her scrubs than she is out in the real world. Dr. Christopher Deleo, "Dr. C.," is a playboy who thrives on the high-stakes of trauma medicine and is, by his own description, a genius redneck. Dr. Serena Warren (Elisabeth Harnois) is fresh out of medical school, and head nurse Tuck Brody (Omar Gooding) keeps the doctors on track and the patients' families updated in this chaotic corner of the medical profession. Together, this team of doctors excels in the "golden hour," the 60 minutes after being critically injured, when a patient's life hangs in the balance.

ARRANGED MARRIAGE is a series that brings the tradition of arranged marriages, which is still practiced successfully by many cultures throughout the world, to the U.S., where it is virtually an inconceivable option for most single Americans. Three adults who are anxious to get married, but who have been unsuccessful in their own search for a mate, choose a life-altering path. They rely on their closest family and friends, those who love and know them best, to choose someone for them to marry based on shared goals, values, experiences and the commitment to make it work. The series intimately documents these three arranged marriages, starting with the first meetings of the families and the wedding day; and then follows the couple through the day-to-day joys, challenges, and emotional tumult that results from their arranged union.

UNDERCOVER BOSS is a new reality series that follows high level corporate executives as they slip anonymously into the lowest level jobs within their companies. Once undercover, they'll get their hands dirty with the rank and file, find out what their employees REALLY think of them and discover how smoothly their companies are REALLY run.

[Jester]

So now we have a NCIS: LA? I love NCIS, but do we really need another series under the banner. The L&O's and CSI's are a bit much, why add NCIS to the list of crime dramas with 15 spin-offs?

[ThirdMarioBro]

Because the only people who watch CBS are over 50.

[Ninjinister]

Wait, Medium's moving to CBS? Flip.

[TheCanadiandrome]

So last Sunday's season finale of King of the Hill was really the Series Finale. After 10 years, Fox dethrones the Hills.

Also, they expelled Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader as well!

HAHA! FAIL! Simpsons pwns another into television history! as for 5th Grader, that show just got on my nerves.

my Mom's kinda pissed Cupid got canned, but she's happy Castle is still on

[Guitar_Raph]

I was surprised that CBS didn't give Single White Millionaire a chance. That's a sitcom that starred Fred Savage.

For the past three inaugural years, Fred Savage had a series.

1997: Working (NBC)
2001: Oswald (Nick Jr./Nick Jr. on CBS)
2005: Crumbs (ABC mid season series that lasted a month in winter 2006)

The Fred Savage inaugural year streak ends!

[Anarky]

Of course, only singing & dancing's allowed. Play an instrument, you're in the sidelines as always. The last person who played an instrument & sang is Drake Bell (Drake & Josh).

Oh Nickelodeon, always pushing the limits of television and tackling the limits of the small screen, breaking taboos and smashing prejudices against things!

Also, f***ing f*** about the Sarah Connor Chronicles. F***! Everyone should explode.

[BubblyShell22]

The only thing I watch CBS for is The Amazing Race. I could care less about anything else. I can't believe NCIS is getting another series. I agree with Jester that CSI and Law and Order should be enough.

[Ninjinister]

Also, f***ing f*** about the Sarah Connor Chronicles. F***! Everyone should explode.

I totally did. This is actually my disembodied index fingers typing.

MELROSE PLACE:
In an elegant Spanish-style apartment building in the trendy Melrose neighborhood of Los Angeles, a diverse group of 20-somethings have formed a close-knit surrogate family. Sydney Andrews (Laura Leighton, the original "Melrose Place") is the landlady, still beautiful at 40, and a central figure in the lives of all her tenants, especially handsome and rebellious David Breck (Shaun Sipos, "Shark"). Sydney started an affair with David despite her turbulent history with his estranged father, Dr. Michael Mancini (Thomas Calabro, the original "Melrose Place"). Both father and son learned through experience that Sydney was not above using blackmail to control people. Another tenant, high-powered publicist Ella Simms (Katie Cassidy, "Supernatural"), once considered Sydney her mentor, but their friendship was destroyed by betrayal, and Sydney threatened to evict Ella and ruin her career. Sydney also played a pivotal role in the career of Auggie Kirkpatrick (Colin Egglesfield, "All My Children"). After they met at an AA meeting, she became Auggie's sponsor and encouraged his dream to become a chef. Now a successful sous chef at the trendy restaurant Coal, Auggie has been avoiding Sydney since she began drinking again. The other tenants include Lauren Yung (Stephanie Jacobsen, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"), a medical student in desperate need of money to pay her student loans, and Jonah Miller (Michael Rady, "Swingtown"), an aspiring filmmaker who has just proposed to his live-in girlfriend Riley Richmond (Jessica Lucas, "Cloverfield"), a first-grade teacher. The newest tenant, 18-year-old Violet Foster (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, "7th Heaven"), has just arrived in LA with her own secret connection to Sydney. When a bloody body is found floating in the courtyard pool, David is the leading suspect. However, as the police are soon to discover, almost everyone living at Melrose Place had a reason to want the deceased out of the way.

"THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE"

The life of a high-fashion model appears glamorous and sexy, but as every new model quickly learns, behind the beautiful faade is a world of insecurity and cutthroat competition. Two teenage models who are about to discover this world for themselves are Raina Collins (Sara Paxton, "Last House on the Left"), a stunning beauty with a secret past, and Chris Andrews (Benjamin Hollingsworth, "The Line"), a strikingly handsome Iowa farm boy. When Raina makes an unforgettable impression at a show introducing the new line from designer Zac Posen (appearing in a cameo role), she steals the spotlight from her friend Sonja (Mischa Barton, "The O.C."). Sonja has been out of the country for mysterious reasons and is now desperate to reclaim her standing as the reigning supermodel. While Raina and Sonja live at the top of the fashion food chain, Chris is starting at the bottom, having just been discovered by agent Simon Lockridge (newcomer Dusan Dukic) of the Covet Modeling Agency, which is owned by former supermodel Claudia Foster (Elle Macpherson, "Friends"). At his first photo shoot, Chris' inexperience almost derails his career until Raina comes to his rescue, showing him how to relax and work the camera. That afternoon, Raina brings Chris to the "models' residence" where she lives along with other young hopefuls, including Marissa Delfina (Ashley Madekwe, "Secret Diary of a Call Girl"), Egan (Jordan Woolley, "As The World Turns"), Issac (Corbin Bleu, "High School Musical 2") and the current alpha-male-model known as Kai (Nico Tortorella, "Twelve"). At an exclusive industry party that night, Chris is again impressed by Raina's generosity when she steps aside to make sure Sonja lands a job that will resurrect her career. However, after an ugly scene with Simon, Chris is left to question whether he can survive in this world of dangerous excess and fleeting fame.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

Four months after the tragic car accident that killed their parents, 17-year-old Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev, "DeGrassi: The Next Generation") and her 15-year-old brother, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen, "Everwood") are still trying to cope with their grief and move on with their lives. Elena has always been the star student; beautiful, popular and involved with school and friends, but now she finds herself struggling to hide her sadness from the world. As the school year begins, Elena and her friends are fascinated by a handsome and mysterious new student, Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley, "Army Wives"). Stefan and Elena are immediately drawn to one another, and Elena has no way of knowing that Stefan is a centuries-old vampire, struggling to live peacefully among humans, while his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder, "Lost") is the embodiment of vampire violence and brutality. Now these two vampire brothers - one good, one evil - are at war for Elena's soul and for the souls of her friends, family and all the residents of the small town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. Based on the series of books by L. J. Smith

"PARENTAL DISCRETION ADVISED"

After spending all of her 15 years bouncing from one foster family to another in Portland, Oregon, Lux (Britt Robertson, "Swingtown") has decided it's time to take control of her life and become an emancipated minor. Her journey through the legal maze leads Lux to her biological father, 30-something Nate "Baze" Bazile (Kristoffer Polaha, "Mad Men"), who owns a bar, lives like an aging frat-boy with two slacker roommates, and is astonished to learn that he has a teenage daughter. Lux is equally astonished when Baze reveals that her mother is Cate Cassidy (Shiri Appleby, "E.R."), a star on the local "Morning Madness" radio show, along with her on-air partner and real-life boyfriend, Ryan Thomas (Kerr Smith, "Eli Stone"). Lux has been listening to Cate's voice on the radio as long as she can remember, so she feels an instant connection with the mom she's never met. Baze takes Lux to meet Cate, who is shocked and saddened to learn that Lux has grown up in foster care, but thrilled to finally meet her beautiful daughter. When a judge decides that Lux isn't ready for emancipation and unexpectedly grants temporary joint custody to Baze and Cate, they agree to try to get past the awkwardness and make a belated attempt to give Lux the family she deserves.

He got to play the guitar & sing a couple of shows. And the dog would howl everytime!

When Betty White guest starred on Savages, she threatened their dad after their pet stole her artificial leg...

"I'm Comin for ya Savage! And your little dog too!"

[TheCanadiandrome]

Well then...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU**

damn that sucks about Reaper being cancelled. and Smallville moving to Fridays is lame. i wonder if Supernatural will move as well

No... They moved Smallville to Fridays because they thought it would be better if Supernatural was paired up with Vampire Diaries....

[BubblyShell22]

Vampire Diaries sounds like a Twilight ripoff. None of the shows on the CW look interesting to me, so I'm going to avoid them at all costs.

[TheCanadiandrome]

now that is uber lame! stupid networks like CW make the dumbest decisions without the slightest thought

[Raph's Girl]

Vampire Diaries sounds like a Twilight ripoff. None of the shows on the CW look interesting to me, so I'm going to avoid them at all costs.

No it's more like Twilight is a Vampire Diaries rip off. Vampire Diaries has been around since 1991 while the first issue of Twilight came out in 2005.

doesn't really matter to me. both are mushy chick crap that i would never watch, with like emo pussy Vampires. but i'm sure like almost all other crap that comes on tv these days, this show will likely find an audience at least for awhile.

i might see an episode just to see if it's worth watching, but from the preview/description you posted, the show sounds like crap.

there's really never been a decent Vampire themed show on television (aside from Buffy & Angel & Dracula The Series & The Little Vampire) imho

also, what's Smallville going to go opposite of on Fridays?

[Raph's Girl]

So I take it you're not a fan of True Blood???

Smallville is up against Supernanny, Ghost Whisperer, Law & Order (the 20th season! ), Brothers and Til Death (that show is still on? ).

The CW has released clips from their new fall shows:

Melrose Place (never saw the original, doubt I'll see this one):

Vampire Diaries (about a 17 year old orphan girl named Elana who falls in love with a 500+ vamp named Ed er Stefan, younger bro of vampire Damon. Eh...I give this a season before people get bored with it...)

[BubblyShell22]

Oh, I didn't know Vampire Diaries was out before Twilight. My bad. Either way, that show doesn't look very promising. I don't hate Twilight by any means, but I think this show won't be that good. I don't watch anything on the CW anyway, so it won't matter.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Vampire Diaries (about a 17 year old orphan girl named Elana who falls in love with a 500+ vamp named Ed er Stefan, younger bro of vampire Damon. Eh...I give this a season before people get bored with it...)



OMG! yup, just as i thought, nothing but emo crap! pussy Vampires! but i may give it a watch and then judge better.

So I take it you're not a fan of True Blood???

Smallville is up against Supernanny, Ghost Whisperer, Law & Order (the 20th season! ), Brothers and Til Death (that show is still on? ).



have never seen True Blood. not sure when it's on. and wow, good competition for Smallville there. hands down the CW will win the Friday ratings war

These aren't pussy vampires per say. It's just that they're somewhat um...friendly....sorta....and the way they get vamped up is weird. Apperantly in the world of Vampire Diaries you become a vampire when you DIE (either naturally or unaturally) after you've had this weird blood transfusion thing with a vamp. In the case of Damon and Stefan, this occured in Renaissance Italy where they were both in love with this vamp named Katherine (who apperantly resembles Elana). The brothers killed each other only to find themselves immortal....There's like 8 books in the series (6 out now).

True Blood, also based on a book series called The Southern Vampire Chronicles, starts it's 2nd season soon on HBO. The first season is out on DVD. True Blood deals with a world where Vampires are all out and about...the Japanese have made this blood subsitute for em called Tru Blood. It's about this gal in Louisiana who...falls for a vamp....Altho she's not normal herself...she's a telepath and in the books it's revealed she's the great-granddaughter of the king of the Fairies...seriously...:lol:.

[TheCanadiandrome]

OMFG! have 'they' (whomever they are) seriously ran out of ideas for true Vampire lore that 'they' need to resort to this sort of nonsense? gees i long for the days of gothic scary uber Vamps, not the emo pussy variety taking over Hollywood these days. hell, the Vampires i know and love would eat these pussys for lunch!

[Raph's Girl]

Wow...Bones has been renewed for not one but TWO more seasons.

http://www.digitalspy.com/ustv/a156220/bones-returns-for-two-new-seasons.html

[TheCanadiandrome]

well, my big Bro will be happy to hear that. he likes that show, along with Ugly Betty

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, my sis is a big fan of Bones. I never got into that show, although I'm now a fan of Mental. I watched the premiere last night, and I loved it.

[Hazel-rah]

[QUOTE=Raph's Girl;693552]I'll have no choice but to watch Heroes on Hulu. :P

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41143

CBS picked up Medium for Fridays.. Eleventh Hour, Worst Week, and Without A Trace have all been cancelled.

I was disappointed that NBC bailed on Medium. I had not heard CBS was picking it up till now. I think it is a very interesting and well written show.

[Hazel-rah]

No... They moved Smallville to Fridays because they thought it would be better if Supernatural was paired up with Vampire Diaries....

Supernatural with Vampire Diaries and Medium with Ghost Whisperer. Are all the networks going to start "theme nights"?

[Cure]

Supernatural with Vampire Diaries and Medium with Ghost Whisperer. Are all the networks going to start "theme nights"?

I'm pretty sure "theme nights" like TGIF from a while ago and Must See Thursdays have been around for a while...

[Hazel-rah]

I'm pretty sure "theme nights" like TGIF from a while ago and Must See Thursdays have been around for a while...

But I believe those were just random sitcoms that really had no common genre. And wasn't Must See Thursdays NBC? Like Cheers, Seinfeld and ER. Hardly the same "theme".:)

Mom's not going to be happy that Private Practice got cancelled. At least they're keeping Grey's Anatomy.

[Raph's Girl]

Eh? Private Practice wasn't cancelled. It's gonna be on at 10pm after Grey's. The season 3 premier just hasn't been announced yet.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well, other than a few things like the usual Sunday and Thursday, and now Friday (thanks CW you morons!) night viewings, there's like nothing too me worth watching this fall. alot of the new shows look lame and the alot of the older shows are starting to get thin

[Guitar_Raph]

Community: About a group of losers trying to improve themselves at community college. After seeing the preview this actually looks funny.

Saw the previews for that. One of the stars is Yvette-Nichole Brown. who played Helen DuBois, a semi-regular character on Drake & Josh.

I'm glad they never had a scene with her & Julia Duffy (Mrs. Hafer) together.

HELEN: You're fired Josh Nichols!
MRS. HAFER: You failed my class Drake. And one more thing, I hate you!
MEGAN: A double play! At the end of this inning, Megan 2, Boobs 0. I gotta move to Seattle to be ICarly. (LOL)

[WinterMorning]

WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Results Show
9:00-10:00 PM GLEE



I can't wait for Glee! The two songs they released were SO amazing, I'm champing at the bit for more. MOAR!!

[Guitar_Raph]

I can't believe NBC will delay Parenthood until @ least January 2010.

The last time there's a planned fall series, which there were promos for, that had to wait until mid-season. Go back to 1984 when ABC knocked off Street Hawk to January 1985, due to Call To Glory.

Street Hawk was a motorcycle Knight Rider that featured Rex Smith & Joe Regalbuto (3 years before Murphy Brown).

[Brodie]

What the hell is "champing" at the bit?

I don't think thats a thing.

As for Champing At The Bit. You've never heard that phrase???

Champing at the bit (or chomping at the bit) refers to a tendency of some horses, when impatient or nervous, and especially if being held back by their riders, to chew on the bit, often salivating excessively. This behavior is sometimes accompanied by head-tossing or pawing at the ground. Because this behavior was most often seen by the general public in horses who were anxious to begin a horse race in the days before the invention of the starting gate, the term has become popular in everyday speech to refer to a person who is anxious to get started or to do something. Because some impatient horses, when held back, would also occasionally rear, a related phrase, "raring to go," is also derived from observations of equine behavior.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Ohmygod that was the funniest Family Guy of all time. I actually crapped my pants a little laughing during the Disney skit. That was brilliant. Dear God. Cleveland Show turned out awesome as well, and I wasn't expecting much.

[The Stryker]

I thought Cleveland was overwhelmingly lame. It wasn't even bad. It was just there, No real jokes, uninteresting side characters and an annoying main cast.
