NBC has had mostly good tidings for fans of its comedies so far, renewing 30 Rock and Community, and now it's also given additional seasons to Parks and Recreation, Whitney, and Up All Night. However, we've also got some cancellation news to report: Are You There, Chelsea, Awake, Bent, and Best Friends Forever have all gotten the ax. All four shows were midseason entrants, and I'm not terribly surprised to see them go. In the meantime, I plan on celebrating the Parks and Recreation news (especially since it's also getting a full 22-episode order) the same way the gang gave it up for Leslie's election victory on the season finale.

Best Friends Forever will join the growing ranks of TV shows written by and starring women when it debuts tonight. The series is the brainchild of longtime friends and improv buddies Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair, and the duo recently welcomed us to spend a day on the set of the new comedy. The show explores what happens when "friendsbians" — as Lennon and Jessica describe themselves— find themselves at very different places in their romantic lives. Rounded out by a supporting cast of cute and equally hilarious guys, and with in-demand director Fred Savage behind the camera, Lennon and Jessica mine their personal lives for laughs on the sitcom. Find out what the stars had to say about the show in our behind-the-scenes preview, and catch Best Friends Forever's premiere tonight at 8:30/7:30 Central on NBC!

Upfronts news means that we're finding out about what will happen in the upcoming TV season. Each network is clearing room in its schedule by getting rid of current shows to make way for new series, like NBC, which just canceled The Event and Law & Order: Los Angeles. But let's look to the future — here are the pilots NBC has just picked up, which star a host of familiar faces like Debra Messing, Will Arnett, Amanda Peet, and more.

COMEDY

  • Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea: Based on Chelsea Handler's best-selling memoir about her life as a twentysomething. Laura Prepon stars in the Chelsea role.
  • Free Agents: A male and female PR agent who are both on the rebound (Hank Azaria and Kathryn Hahn) fight their attraction to each other in this remake of a British sitcom of the same name.
  • Bent: Amanda Peet plays a divorced single mom who falls for the contractor she hired to do work on her house, played by Perfect Couples's David Walton.
  • Best Friends Forever: A woman moves in with her best friend, even though the best friend is already living with her boyfriend.
  • Up All Night: Christina Applegate stars as a woman juggling work and motherhood. Maya Rudolph and Will Arnett costar, and Lorne Michaels is producing.
  • Whitney: Comedienne Whitney Cummings headlines this sitcom as one half of a young couple figuring out their committed relationship.
