    I'm going to try to use this thread to break down as simply as possible what we know is canceled and renewed (along with what SciFi-ish shows are coming)

    Some of the big geek shows that have been mentioned already...

    Chuck, Dollhouse, Fringe - Renewed
    King of the Hill, Sit Down Shut Up, Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles - Canceled

    Here's Fox's upfront

    If you guys here anything about shows getting canceled or renewed, post it here.
    --EDIT--
    Castle will return

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.
