Is Your Show In or Out?
ABC will officially kickoff the upfront presentations tomorrow. But in the meantime, here are some of the renewals we already know, as reported on TVGuide.com, BroadcastingandCable.com and TVWeek.com…
ABC has renewed “Boston Legal“ and “Eli Stone,” but “October Road” and “Women’s Murder Club” have both been cancelled. Also, Zach Braff announced on his MySpace page what everyone already knew--that “Scrubs” will move to ABC next season…
CBS has renewed “How I Met Your Mother” and “The Unit,” but “Moonlight” and “The New Adventures of Old Christine” are still on the bubble. If CBS cancels “Christine,” reports have ABC “almost certain” to pick it up…
The CW has renewed “Reaper” for 13 episodes that are expected to debut mid-season. The network has also renewed “The Game”…
FOX has cancelled “New Amsterdam”…
NBC has already made its upfront presentation, so it instead used today to officially announce Jimmy Fallon as Conan O’Brien’s successor on “Late Night.” Ben Silverman, the co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, once again said NBC was trying to keep Jay Leno, but admitted that it would be “a reach” to keep him.
NBC has also posted a casting call on its website for a new fall reality show, “Momma’s Boy,” in which mothers of eligible bachelors “help their sons pick the right woman.” The show is executive produced by Ryan Seacrest and the producers of “Average Joe.” You can watch a video or Ryan talking about the show here.
