The Fancy Bastard Forum

Uh, can't we just look at the Michael Ausiello blog? He seems to be keeping good tabs so far.

edit: Nevermind, I guess the official upfronts started.

The only show I'm really annoyed that got canceled is Life. I really liked that show and I've been a fan of Damien Lewis since Band of Brothers.

ABC Upfronts

Lost, Castle, and Scrubs return (Zach Braff will be in 6 of the first 13 episodes)
Samantha Who & According to Jim canceled

New shows: Fastforward - everyone gets a vision of the future for 2 minutes 19 seconds
Eastwick - Desperate Housewives + Charmed

Wow, shocked about Samantha Who getting canned. I thought it was being groomed to be ABC's next quirky golden child, a la Ugly Betty.

NBC Upfronts

Chuck survives, along with Heroes, The Office, and Parks and Recreation. Life and Medium don't make it (though apparently Medium may go to CBS).

I can't seem to find it anywhere in those lists, does anyone have any knowledge about How i met your mother coming back?

IMDB says that How I met your Mother survives for another season


Three previews for ABC Comedies

Hank is Kelsey Grammar being a rich guy forced to live as middle class (looks okay)
The Middle is a Malcom in the Middle show (starring the mother rather than a son).
Cougartown is a recently divorced woman looking to bag some young guys.

EDIT:
CBS Upfront confirm How I Met Your Mother will continue

HIMYM is a CBS staple now. No need to worry about it getting cancelled.

Though I guess it's getting its old 8:00 PM spot back.

Goddamn the masochist in me... I'm probably gonna have to watch Cougartown, if only for the imagined reason of seeing tips on how to pick up MILFS. Thanks for the prompt replies on HIMYM, I have trouble following the American stations since i download all my shows because typically they just aren't shown down here.

I hear Cougar Town looks awful.

The name alone gave that away.

It's supposed to be a pun. Courtney Cox is a "cougar" and the school team is the "Cougars".

What the fuck, Bill Lawrence? He commented on a TVSquad.com article about why Scrubs needs to die a few weeks ago. I posted him a comment, so I know he got it in his email. "Bill, bring back Clone High".

Well ofcourse it is, hasn't stopped me watching crap TV before though. If Courtney Cox is the "cougar" though i will pass, she just annoys me.

CW Upfronts

TNT & TBS shows (almost all cop, doctor, or lawyer shows)
NBC Canceled My Name Is Earl, but TBS could pick them up

Fark! I really like Reaper.

wow...sit down,shut up had...2 episodes? thats on the same record of clerks getting cancelled.

Posted By: FerrosFark! I really like Reaper.Never go with a hippie to a second location.

Me too, I'm hoping another network picks it up.
