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. Copy/pasted from The Futon Critic Wedged between Mike and Chill are their parents. Their father, whom everyone refers to as COACH (Carl Weathers, "Rocky"), is the local high school football coach and the conservative, opinionated alpha male of his clan. Coach thinks he runs the show, but really it's Mom who calls the shots. Saucy, stern and a schemer, she is the mastermind of the family. And when she learns that Mike's business manager took off with all his money, she orchestrates a plan to keep Mike in Houston, save Chill's restaurant and bring the family back together under one roof again all without anyone realizing what she's up to. Mom's plan helps Mike realize that his family however dysfunctional they may be is the only family he's got. And although he may not have a penny to his name, as long as he's surrounded by people who love him, he'll always be a rich man.
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.

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. WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison) has offered to take on the Herculean task of restoring McKinley's Glee Club to its former glory with the help of fellow teacher and germaphobe EMMA PILLSBURY (Jayma Mays). It's a tall order when the brightest stars of the club include KURT (Chris Colfer), a nerdy soprano with a flair for the dramatic; MERCEDES (Amber Riley), a dynamic diva-in-training who refuses to sing back-up; ARTIE (Kevin McHale), a geeky guitarist who spends more time avoiding bullies than chasing girls; and TINA (Jenna Ushkowitz), an awkward girl who needs to suppress her stutter before she can take center stage. Will's only hope lies with two true talents: RACHEL BERRY (Lea Michele), a perfectionist firecracker who is convinced that show choir is her ticket to stardom; and FINN HUDSON (Cory Monteith), the popular high school quarterback with movie star looks and a Motown voice who must protect his reputation with his holier-than-thou girlfriend and head cheerleader, QUINN (Dianna Agron), and his arrogant football teammate, PUCK (Mark Salling). Driven by his secret past, Will is determined to do whatever it takes to make Glee great again, even though everyone around him thinks he's nuts. He's out to prove them all wrong from his tough-as-nails wife TERRI SCHUESTER (Jessalyn Gilsig) to McKinley's scheming cheerleading coach SUE SYLVESTER (Jane Lynch) to an ber-hip world that thinks jazz hands and sequined tuxedos litter the road to infamy rather than pave the way to Hollywood dreams.
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. With every new danger, Chance's dark history will also unravel. Does anyone know who Christopher Chance really is, or what secrets lay buried in his past? What would make a man willingly become a HUMAN TARGET?
Past Life
Have you ever experienced déjà 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. A fast-paced emotional thrill ride, each episode finds Price and Kate working with their colleagues to unravel a new mystery involving the past-lives of their clients. DR. MALACHI TALMADGE (Richard Schiff, "The West Wing") is Kate's mentor and the center's namesake, an avuncular but gruff elder statesman who is a legend in the field of cognitive research. DR. RISHI KARNA (Ravi Patel, "Scrubs") is the rookie of the group, a baby-faced therapist from Calcutta who loves bad American TV, Cuban jazz and driving everyone crazy.
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. MAGGIE MORALES (Natalie Martinez, "Saints & Sinners"), Robby's second-grade teacher and the object of Ron's affection, might just be the only stable figure in the lives of this quirky quartet. While SONS OF TUCSON is grounded in the day-to-day challenges of a single-parent home, nothing in the Gunderson household is quite what it seems. An ongoing chess match between Ron and the boys will keep both parties on their toes, as neither side can afford to give up too much power or independence.

The Deep End
Sterling Law is one of L.A.'s most prestigious law firms. Each year it recruits four new young lawyers from the finest law schools worldwide. It will nurture, guide and shape these recruits into the best damned lawyers they can possibly be or else. This year the lucky four are Dylan, a blue collar kid made-good; Addy, a sweet mid-Westerner with a lethal legal mind; Beth, a brilliant Brentwood babe; and Liam, an Australian with serious drive. Sterling Law is under the control of ruthless senior partner Cliff Huddle (Billy Zane), aka "The Prince of Darkness." But when legendary partner Hart Sterling returns to the firm after a long hiatus caring for his dying wife, he's ready to shake things up. The only way for these first years to survive being caught in the middle of this major power struggle is to support each other, even as they compete against one another in the cutthroat arena of corporate law. They discover unlikely allies in their mercurial recruiter Rowdy and litigating whirlwind Susan, who is Cliff's icy, but talented wife. Dylan also manages to make a deeper connection with an ace paralegal named Addy, but every alliance at Sterling is complicated. Addy is drawn to Dylan, but it seems she hasn't quite broken off her affair with Cliff. The complex personal and professional lives of Grey's Anatomy's interns combine with the high-stakes world of L.A. Law in this sharp dramedy from David Hemingson, co-executive producer of How I Met Your Mother. Greed, betrayal, illegal acts; it's all a part of being a first year associate at Sterling Law. Law school definitely didn't prepare them for this.
Single-handedly, housewives accomplish astonishing things... and together, watch out. In the seaside village of Eastwick, this might just be evidence of their inner-witch rising to the surface. Until today, Roxanne, Kat and Joanna didn't get along because of their preconceived notions of each other. Roxanne was the flaky artist, Kat was a doormat wife and mom, and Joanna the uptight local reporter. But after a weird encounter in the park coupled with a few margaritas, these three have suddenly become fast friends. Now, a mysterious stranger's arrival in town will bring them even closer and test them in ways they'd never imagined. Daryl Van Horne is an irresistible package of wealth, charisma and bad boy sex appeal. If he's not buying up a local business, he's attempting to seduce one (or all) of these ladies, physically and professionally. What's even more dangerous, he's unleashing their supernatural powers. But by igniting their heart's desires, he might just be opening Pandora's box. This small New England town will be turned upside down by these witches coming into their own. Though bad for a few locals, it's still the best thing to happen in Eastwick in centuries. The X-Files director/producer David Nutter and writer Maggie Friedman (Once and Again) conjure up a devilish blend of Desperate Housewives and Charmed that explores the hidden depths of women. Based on John Updike's celebrated best-seller and the hit movie, Eastwick is brimming with romance, mystery and wicked charm, offering a tempting vision of the ultimate wish-fulfillment fantasy.
What if you were shown a glimpse of your future, but didn't like what you saw? How hard would you fight and what would you sacrifice to keep it from coming true? When an unexplained, cataclysmic event knocks out the entire population of the world at the exact same moment, for two minutes and 17 seconds, everyone will see a glimpse of their own future. Then they will wake up to chaos. From his flash forward, LA FBI Agent Mark Benford is able to piece together the 'when' April 29, 2010, but he's desperate to figure out the 'why' and stop what's coming because it's a future he doesn't want to see. In the future, Mark's beloved wife has left him for the father of one of her patients. He's started drinking again, his loyal partner's been murdered and masked operatives are hunting him down. Before long, everyone starts asking themselves and each other, "What did you see?"

Adapting award-winning science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer's revolutionary novel, executive producers David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight) and Brannon Braga (24, Star Trek: Enterprise) invite us to flash forward into a thrilling vision of a world held captive by events that have not yet taken place. No one knows for certain what the future holds, but everyone will have their theories.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Armed with the latest in high tech gear and sent regularly into life-threatening situations, this tight-knit team relies on each other to do what is necessary to protect national interests.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

The Beast

The cable network HBO will not renew this new comedy series for a second season.
Million Dollar Password
CBS will not renew this game show for a second season.
The Moment Of Truth
In a major surprise move, Fox has cancelled this new game show after a year on hiatus.

Surviving Suburbia
ABC will not renew this new comedy series for a second season.
The cable network FX will not renew this new comedy series for a second season.
Don't Forget The Lyrics

The cable network TNT has announced that the 3rd season of this popular drama series, scheduled to finish airing next season, will be the final season.

Let's Dance
ABC has cancelled this new reality series, basically another version of Dancing With The Stars featuring celebrities dancing, due to "casting issues". It never aired.
ABC has cancelled this new comedy series after 5 episodes due to low ratings. It's the first comedy series this year (and only ABC Wednesday comedy) to get Das Boot. 5 episodes are left unaired.
Fox has cancelled this drama series after 2 seasons due to absolutely abysmal ratings. A major fan drive saved it after season 1 despite poor ratings but an even worse season so far won't save it from Das Boot this time.
Jon & Kate Plus 8
The cable network TLC has announced that the 5th season of this reality series, to wrap up in late November, will be the final season. The show's future had been uncertain for several months due to an ongoing (and quite nasty) split and legal dispute between stars Jon & Kate Gosselin.

The cable network HBO will not renew this comedy series for a 3rd season.
Fox will not renew this new comedy series for a second season. It was one of the lowest-rated new shows this season.

Blonde Charity Mafia
The CW has cancelled this new reality series after originally delaying the premiere a couple times. The show was originally produced by Lifetime, who passed it on to CW, who now has passed it on in the form of giving it Das Boot. It never aired.

NBC has cancelled this weeknight series, featuring the former Tonight Show host, due to both ratings and subsequent complaints from affiliates. Leno returned to The Tonight Show after the 2010 Olympics.

ABC will not renew this award-winning drama series for a 5th season. ABC essentially gave it Das Boot before the season by moving it from Thursdays to Fridays. ABC also cut the final season order from 22 episodes to 20.
E-C-Dead. E-C-Dead. The cable network Syfy has cancelled this WWE wrestling program after about 3 3/4 seasons due to WWE folding the brand and replacing it with a new one. The final episode aired February 16.
Past Life
Fox has cancelled this new drama series after just 3 episodes amidst bad reviews and worse ratings. It actually did fine in it's debut thanks to an Idol lead-in but tanked without it and thus gets Das Boot. 4 episodes are left unaired, but they will air this summer.

5/14/10 Update: Confirmed as cancelled. Likely for good this time.
'Til Death
It's finally dead. Fox will not renew this now low-rated comedy series for a 5th season. It's one of the lowest-rated shows on the Big 4 networks, if not the lowest-rated. In fact, it reportedly got a 4th season despite the low ratings only for an eventual syndication deal.
Jack Bauer can finally enjoy a day off. Fox has announced that the current 8th season of this popular action series, scheduled to end on May 24, will be the final season. Expect a movie in the future though.

The Sarah Silverman Program
The cable network Comedy Central will not renew this comedy series for a 4th season. The move was expected given it only got a 3rd season because of financial help from the cable network Logo.

Romantically Challenged
ABC will not renew this new comedy series for a second season.
The Wanda Sykes Show
Fox will not renew this weekend late-night comedy series for a second season.
Law & Order
The mothership has been sunk. NBC has cancelled the flagship title of the crime drama franchise after a record-tying 20th season.

Quick thoughts on FOX's new schedule:
FOX renewing Dollhouse is just awesome, never would have thought I'd see a second season of this show. Even though it's back on Friday I understand, but having the lead-in be two comedies probably won't help attract new viewers. Hopefully it'll do good enough to stick around in the new year and get a full season. 24 will be back of course. Bones is back with a 2-season renewal, great stuff. As for new shows, I think I'll check out Human Target, looks interesting, airs in a free timeslot for me, and stars Mark Valley and Chi McBride, who I liked in previous shows I watched with them.

May 18, 09 at 4:08pm ^re: The New Season: 2009 - 2010
Now that Battlestar Galactica is done and Caprica isn't on until Spring, I might check out Dollhouse. It's timeslot conflicted with other shows I watch at that time and kept me from seeing it, I wanted to check it out because now I'll be following other shows with Galactica alum (in this case, Tahmoh "Helo" Penikett). Otherwise I will also check out "Brothers", the new comedy with ex-NFLer Michael Strahan, just to see how good (or bad) his acting is.
The big day for me this week is tomorrow-NBC. Waiting to see the fate of "My Name Is Earl", which right now is the only show on their lineup I really care about. Already a bit miffed because they've apparently passed on the new Dick Wolf series that Katee Sackhoff was the lead star on, but there's a chance it winds up on cable. Maybe USA, which would be nice-I'd watch just for her.
Edit: A big surprise from ABC ahead of tomorrow's Upfronts: "Samantha Who?", widely expected to return for a 3rd season, has instead gotten Das Boot. It came down to money...they couldn't cut enough from the show's budget to make it work (ABC hoped to save $500K per episode, that's roughly $7-10 million over the season). It's not known if it'll come back from it's current hiatus (repeats were to air in June), if it doesn't 7 episodes will be left unaired.

I wouldn't worry about HIMYM, it'll definitely be back. I'm assuming CBS is waiting until their upfront to officially announce their renewals/cancellations. Most of all the shows on the Fate to be Determined list for CBS will probably all be back.

May 18, 09 at 8:55pm ^re: The New Season: 2009 - 2010
Not done but expected to return. CBS often waits until the absolute last-minute to renew all their returning shows for next year, even their locks like "CSI" and "The Mentalist". And there are a couple of uncertainties among usual returning shows this time around, so don't be terribly shocked to see "The Unit" and "Without A Trace" possibly cancelled. As for HIMYM, the past couple seasons it's been a last-minute pickup but it'll probably be back.

I sure hope CBS keeps Numb3rs and Flashpoint. My entire Friday night this year was on CBS, starting with Ghost Whisperer and ending after Numb3rs.
A note on CW - I heard that Payton and Lucas didn't sign on for next season. Good luck having OTH without the narrator CW.

May 19, 09 at 11:22am ^re: The New Season: 2009 - 2010
ABC will begin it's upfront presentation soon, likely within the hour (scheduled to begin at 8 AM ET), but...oops: Last night their site-to-be inadvertently leaked the timeslots of several new shows next season, the site has since been taken down but The futon critic got the info up beforehand (all are fall premieres unless noted):
"The Deep End": Midseason
"Eastwick": Wednesdays at 10 PM ET
"Flash Forward": Thursdays at 8 PM ET
"The Forgotten": Tuesdays at 10 PM ET
"Happy Town": Midseason
"V": Midseason
"Cougar Town": Wednesdays at 9:30 PM ET
"Hank": Wednesdays at 8 PM ET
"The Middle": Wednesdays at 8:30 PM ET
"Modern Family": Wednesdays at 9 PM ET
Also of note is that V is intended to be a limited-run event and not a recurring series, so it should only last one season.
Other early notes ahead of today's upfronts:
ABC-These shows have gotten Das Boot: "According To Jim", "In The Motherhood", "Cupid" (again), "Homeland Security USA". Motherhood ends it's run after just 7 episodes (the 3 unaired episodes left will be burned off in June) while Jim will not return for a 9th season (the 4 episodes left will air over the next 2-3 weeks). It'll finish its run at 182 total episodes. Homeland Security had been on hiatus since March-5 episodes are left unaired. Cupid, a remake of the once-cancelled original years ago, fared no better and was said to have almost no chance of returning. It got Das Boot after last week's episode, meaning one episode is left unaired.
Over at NBC, where their schedule unveiling is scheduled for 11:30 AM ET, the long-expected pickup of "Law & Order Original" is now official. It will be back for a record-tying 20th season, which is expected to be 16 episodes. This pickup keeps it tied with "The Simpsons" for longest-running scripted primetime series ever in terms of total seasons...for now. Remember that The Simpsons will run at least 2 more seasons though. "Gunsmoke" still has both beaten considerably in total episodes though, to get passed either show would need to run roughly 9-10 more years.
Edit: As promised, here it is-ABC's just-unveiled Fall schedule:
8 PM ET-Dancing With The Stars, The Bachelor (after Dancing ends)
10 PM ET-Castle
8 PM ET-The Shark Tank
9 PM ET-Dancing results, Scrubs (after Dancing ends)
9:30 PM ET-Better Off Ted (after Dancing ends)
10 PM ET-The Forgotten
8 PM ET-Hank
8:30 PM ET-The Middle
9 PM ET-Modern Family
9:30 PM ET-Cougar Town
10 PM ET-Eastwick
8 PM ET-Flash Forward
9 PM ET-Grey's Anatomy
10 PM ET-Private Practice
8 PM ET-Supernanny
9 PM ET-Ugly Betty (new timeslot)
8 PM ET-College Football
7 PM ET-America's Funniest Home Videos
8 PM ET-Extreme Makeover Home Edition
9 PM ET-Desperate Housewives
10 PM ET-Brothers And Sisters
Due midseason: Deep End, Happy Town, V, True Beauty, Wife Swap
The only show of note missing is new comedy "Surviving Suburbia", which is currently on hiatus but returns next week to continue its first season. It has 9 episodes left, so don't expect a decision on it until perhaps July.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...admit it...hot off the press, it's NBC's Fall/midseason schedule:
First off, the final word on the last 2 bubble shows, "My Name Is Earl" and "Medium"...both are cancelled. However, neither is dead: Earl still has a chance to wind up at Fox (who produces the show, talks will begin in the coming weeks on a potential move) while Medium is is said to be all but headed to CBS, where it could land on Fridays. (Medium has 2 episodes still to air this season)

Tomorrow: CBS Upfront.
And Happy Trails, NBC. You are now off my schedule for next season. Fox, do the right thing and pick up Earl. That list is far from done.
Sorry to beat you by 2 minutes, Echo.^^
Edit: It's also No Deal for game show "Deal Or No Deal". It's gotten Das Boot. This does not, however, affect the syndicated version of the show-that will continue. Also, the SNL Thursday run is expected to be 6 episodes but "maybe more" according to NBC.
Also gone: "Howie Do It" and "Superstars Of Dance".

Quick thoughts on ABC and NBC:
On ABC, I had Pushing Daisies and Scrubs. Daisies was cancelled while Scrubs lives on (again), I wish it were the other way around. I'm at least happy Scrubs won't be back until midseason which should give Bill Lawrence a good amount of time to figure out the new direction of the show. New shows that look interesting are Happy Town and Flash Forward. Happy Town stars Amy Acker which pretty much makes it an instant-watch for me, but I'll have to judge when I see some trailers. While Flash Forward will be airing in the very busy timeslot of Thursday at 8 will which make it difficult to watch.
For NBC, all I have is The Office which is back at its normal timeslot. The only new show that looks remotely interesting is Day One which will be airing the same time as 24 come midseason. So, again, I'll have to wait and see.
Next is CBS and The CW, which are both blah and meh respectively. I'm sure CBS will have a nice list of boring cop/law/medical shows to choose from, haha.

May 19, 09 at 4:28pm ^re: The New Season: 2009 - 2010
There's gonna be drama at CBS, at least one or two of it's usual reliables look to be out (possibly Without A Trace and The Unit) and a couple are right on the bubble, and of course CW buzz will revolve around pilots-the Melrose Place remake is a lock, they're gonna have a vampire drama, questions about certain shows coming back, and whether or not the rumored Gossip Girl spinoff makes it (chances have gone from high to low over the last month or so). And of course whether or not Reaper is really done there, odds are it is.
Edit: One CBS bubble just burst...they've shut down The Unit. Das Boot. Also, 20th century Fox will also talk to ABC in addition to Fox about My Name Is Earl, but that won't be until after upfronts.
And just in case you've heard the rumor...Patrick Swayze, who recently starred in A&E's "The Beast", IS NOT DEAD. False according to a Swayze spokeswoman. The incorrect news came from a Jacksonville, FL radio station and a German TV channel. It then hit Twitter.

May 19, 09 at 8:58pm ^re: The New Season: 2009 - 2010
Well, here goes half the rest of the week's excitement, as CBS announced a bunch of bubble pickups a short time ago for next season. First up, these shows will be back:
"Cold Case" gets a 7th season.
"Numb3rs" gets a 6th season.
"The New Adventures Of Old Christine" stays put for its 5th season. Had CBS not renewed it ABC would've picked it up.
"Rules Of Engagement" gets a 4th season.
"Gary Unmarried" gets a 2nd season.
Now for the usual last-minute as expected pickups, almost all of these were never in doubt:
"48 Hours Mystery" gets a 13th season.
"60 Minutes" gets a 41st season.
"Criminal Minds" gets a 5th season.
All 3 incarnations of "CSI" are back. "CSI" gets a 10th season, "CSI Miami" an 8th, "CSI NY" a 6th.
"How I Met Your Mother" gets a 5th season.
"The Mentalist" (TV's #1 new show last season) gets a second season.
"NCIS" gets a 7th season.
Previously renewed: "The Big Bang Theory" (2 seasons), "Two And A Half Men" (3 seasons), "Survivor" (2 editions, taking it through all next year), "The Amazing Race", "Ghost Whisperer".
These series, meanwhile, get Das Boot:
"Worst Week" is out after 1 season.
"Without A Trace" is out after 7 seasons.
"Eleventh Hour" is out after 1 season.
"The Unit" is out after 4 seasons.
Still in Fate TBD: "Flashpoint" and rumors about CBS acquiring "Medium", which was cancelled today by NBC. Based on the ratings it does on Friday, CBS not renewing Flashpoint would be a bit of a surprise.
And 2 items from The CW:
One, as expected "Melrose Place" (the remake) and "Vampire Diaries" were ordered to series.
Two, the about-facing on "Privileged" is thankfully over. To the surprise of some, it got Das Boot. At first it was thought to be done after one season then its chances for renewal quietly improved, but now comes word that The CW made the last-minute decision to cancel it. Thus my guess is the obvious: Melrose gets a night with 90210. We'll find out Thursday.
And while not official, latest word is "Lily", the planned "Gossip Girl" spinoff that CW was considering for next season, is dead.
Late news from last night: CBS and Fox have extended their current deals with the NFL through the 2013-14 season. This also means that CBS gets the 2013 Super Bowl, to be held in New Orleans, while Fox gets the 2014 game (TBA). All the NFL broadcast deals now end after the 2013-14 season except the Sunday night deal with NBC, which ends after the 2011-12 season.
Finally, one more rumor about the CBS schedule ahead of today's upfront: While it's not definite, "The Unit" being cancelled may be what saves "Flashpoint" from being cancelled. Word is Flashpoint could now be headed to Unit's old timeslot, 10 PM ET Sundays. We'll see in a bit.

May 20, 09 at 1:50pm ^re: The New Season: 2009 - 2010
It's here: CBS has just announced it's Fall schedule. There are 2 early items of note: One notable schedule change sees "The Mentalist" moved to Thursdays and, as expected, The Eye has acquired the just-cancelled "Medium" from NBC. The full fall schedule:
8 PM ET-How I Met Your Mother
8:30 PM ET-Accidentally On Purpose
9 PM ET-Two And A Half Men
9:30 PM ET-The Big Bang Theory (new timeslot)
10 PM ET-CSI Miami
9 PM ET-NCIS Los Angeles (new NCIS spinoff)
10 PM ET-The Good Wife
8 PM ET-The New Adventures Of Old Christine
8:30 PM ET-Gary Unmarried
9 PM ET-Criminal Minds
8 PM ET-Survivor
10 PM ET-The Mentalist (new timeslot)
8 PM ET-Ghost Whisperer
9 PM ET-Medium
10 PM ET-Numb3rs
8 PM ET-Drama repeats (2 hours)
10 PM ET-48 Hours Investigation
7 PM ET-60 Minutes
8 PM ET-The Amazing Race
9 PM ET-Three Rivers
10 PM ET-Cold Case
"Flashpoint", you ask? At this point still Fate TBD, but this schedule suggests midseason if it's coming back. Stay tuned.
Guess I gotta start staying up late on Mondays to watch Big Bang. 8 PM was a great timeslot.
Tomorrow: The CW. For the one or two people who actually watch it.
More CBS notes:
4 new shows and the renewed comedy series "Rules Of Engagement" will premiere (or in the case of Rules, return) at midseason.
"Game Show In My Head" gets Das Boot after 1 season. "Harper's Island" is also done after this season but that was the original plan (a limited-run event).
"Flashpoint"...no mention of it for fall or midseason so while I'm still trying to find official word, I'm leaning towards cancelled.

May 20, 09 at 4:01pm ^re: The New Season: 2009 - 2010
Medium has been picked up by CBS as expected and plans another crime-drama in The Mentalists old timeslot.
The network will introduce new shows next fall with Julianna Margulies as a disgraced district attorney's wife and Jenna Elfman as a film critic who gets pregnant after a one-night stand.
Eleventh Hour has also been cancelled.

A deft combination of hip and trendy with eclectic and elegant style.
This block-long, four-story building was designed by the architects of the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol. It is made entirely of marble and dates back to the 19th century. A National Historic Landmark, it is still listed as a federal building. It opened as a hotel in 2002, and its lobby impresses with vaulted ceilings, alabaster and chrome details, spiral staircases and creative light fixtures. The inner courtyard offers a peaceful respite with attractive greenery. Rooms feature high, vaulted ceilings that provide a spacious, airy atmosphere. Décor is hip and trendy, with retro color schemes and furniture. A unique feature is the selection of tall rooms with oversize beds and higher showerheads.
