So it's the time of year where we wait with bated breath for the networks to reveal what shows get picked up and what shows are relegated to the Cancelled Series Network in the sky.
Although Fox drives me nuts with it's rather efficient decisions on cancelling shows (cue Drive and Reunion), I'm glad it at least gave us an early renewal for Bones, House and Prison Break. Although if *spoiler alert if you haven't seen the finale ep yet* Prison Break turns into Panama Prison Break, I might give up on it.
In the meantime, ABC seems to be quite promising this coming fall with a bunch of new shows that I'm going to watch (but will reserve judgment on them until then). The Grey's Anatomy spinoff, Private Practice, is one of them. Since I was one of those who thought the backdoor pilot on Grey's was hilarious (talking elevators, hot "alternative medicine" doctor, yummy six-pac receptionist), I'll be looking forward to that.
On other news, NBC has given my abfab fave show the boot. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip finishes up the rest of its pilot season from May 24th before it, too, joins the TV heaven. Sighs. It was short-lived, but so well-loved.
There's a pending possibility that CBS is cancelling Jericho, which would mean great devastation since it didn't exactly end on a completed note, to say the least. Although the show has been a little hit-and-miss over the season, I still like the concept and the action in it, so I'm hoping for at least one more season to give closure to it before CBS let's it go.
Over at the CW, an era comes to an end with Gilmore Girls. Such an unsatisfactory ending. Sighs. But I will admit that this season hasn't been the shiniest ever, what with Amy Sherman-Palladino leaving pretty big shoes for David Rosenthal to fill. And although he can fit his feet in them, he's pretty much scuffling along. Okay. Weird analogy there. But you get the idea.
Also with the CW, One Tree Hill is seriously losing its edge. Stalker Derek was just entirely...out of orbit. It made an already crazy storyline go straight into the asylum. But Scoop Nazi Michael Ausiello said it'll probably get renewed, and I've heard the new season might be OTH post-college years. If that breathes new life into the show (and it's gotta be one helluva breath), I'll probably keep at it for awhile more. Otherwise...well. Loyalty only goes so far.
So. With the Peacock and the Alphabet already done with their presentations, we're left with three to go. Let's hope all goes well there.
