Fall TV Update: Eastwick, the Forgotten, and Life Unexpected
A few weeks ago I gave you guys a roundup of the fate of Fall's newest shows, but there's been some shake-ups in the industry this week. The first is sad news for Eastwick fans: the show has been canceled and will be gone after its first 13 episodes are aired. Lindsay Price just can't catch a break, can she?

Christian Slater Could Take Over Lead in The Forgotten
So My Own Worst Enemy didn't work out so well for Christian Slater, but that hasn't deterred the actor from taking another stab at TV. Slater is now in negotiations to star in ABC's Fall drama series The Forgotten.
The drama, from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, focuses on a group of amateur investigators who try to track down people who go missing.
TV News: Casting, Recasting, and Some Dream Casting
We now mostly know what shows will be on our TVs come Fall — but who will be starring in them? After pilot season comes a flurry of casting and recasting, as actors whose shows didn't get picked up look for work and networks change up the lineups on some of the forthcoming series. Today, there's word of a big casting, some recastings, and Joss Whedon's dream casting:
- The casting: Freddie Prinze Jr.'s ABC comedy pilot wasn't picked up, but the actor didn't have to wait long for a job: He's joining the cast of 24 as a Marine who dreams of becoming a sort of Jack Bauer Jr. He joins a growing number of new cast members for the season, including Anil Kapoor, John Boyd, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Jennifer Westfeldt.
- The recastings: A few pilots-turned-series are already searching for replacements for their lead actors.
First Look: ABC's New Dramas
In addition to the four new comedies ABC announced at its Upfront presentation this week, the network also laid out plans for six new dramas, three for Fall and three for midseason.
Flash Forward, The Forgotten, and Eastwick are the first three we'll see, with Flash Forward taking Ugly Betty's old time slot on Thursdays and Eastwick anchoring the all-new Wednesday night lineup.
Later in the season, we'll meet The Deep End, Happy Town, and the network's remake of V.

It's a tough life for a freshman TV series, and every Fall some new shows have to get cut — but on the bright side, others are given a vote of confidence and picked up for a full season. We're at the end of October now, and most of the networks have made their big decisions, so here's a rundown on what shows are in, out, or balancing on the edge.
What's In
At NBC, Parks and Recreation, Community, and Mercy have all been picked up for full seasons, as have CBS shows The Good Wife and NCIS: Los Angeles and ABC's The Middle, Cougar Town, FlashForward, and Modern Family.
