2009 Fall Season

http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watc...rss_topstories

Aaannd so it starts. The May upfronts for the major networks announcing their fall schedule. This is not the full order so there's still some shows on the bubble ATM (like Chuck and Life). The full schedule will be released May 19th.

NBC:

Renewed:
Heroes
Southland
Parks & Recreation
SNL Thursday
30 Rock
Law & Order: SVU
Friday Night Lights
Biggest Loser
Celebrity Apprentice

New Shows:
100 Questions: About a young single woman who learns about love by taking a 100-question "compatibility test" as part of her search for Mr. Right. Just think of it as Friends with a British Friend.....

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

Mercy: New hospital drama starring Michelle Trachtenberg, James Tupper and Guillermo Diaz. Looks pretty good.

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

Trauma: Cuz apperantly NBC needed 2 medical shows. This one is about EMT's/Paramedics and looks pretty good from the preview.

Jay Leno Show: Well duh!

Some Reality shows:
Breakthrough With Tony Robbins:

Marriage Ref: Oh yay... a marriage councelor show

Who Do You Think You Are: Been waiting for this one. Basically celebrities doing genealogy research!

Previews for: 100 Questions, Community, Jay Leno, Mercy, Trauma, and Parenthood are available here: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watc...les_pilot.html

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.

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?

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.
