Buzz In: Have You Broken Up With Any "Relaunched" Shows?
The Fall of 2007 came in with great fanfare in the TV world, only to be squashed just weeks later by the writers' strike. For this Fall, some networks focused on "relaunching" those shows cut short because of the strike: Chuck and Life on NBC, and Pushing Daisies, Private Practice, and Dirty Sexy Money on ABC. (Though it's now in its third season, Heroes probably falls into this category, too.)
The good news: Many of those shows might not have gotten renewed without the writers' strike.
Fall TV Preview: Five New Shows to Skip
All summer long, I've been giving you my first impressions of the networks' new shows. Now, with fall TV upon us, it's time to tell you which shows are deserving of space on your TiVo and which ... well, aren't.
Pilot Watch: "Life"
The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. A lot can change before a show makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.
TV Casting Roundup: "Lights," "Life," "CSI: Miami"
- A former "Friday Night Lights" guest star is headed to NBC's "Life." Brooke Langton, a "Melrose Place" alum who briefly played Tim Riggins' love interest on "FNL," will play a defense attorney who helped free the main character, a cop wrongfully convicted of murder.
- Speaking of "Friday Night Lights," remember those new recurring characters that the cast and producers told me about last week? Actors have been found for two of them.

Clips of four of the shows, including "Chuck" (photo above), have made their way to YouTube, and NBC has a bunch of goodies on its fall preview site. I also have a ton of photos for the new shows, and I can't wait to hear what you think.

Two down, more to go. The Beautiful Life became the first new show of the Fall to be axed on Friday, and now A&E has canceled The Cleaner, Benjamin Bratt's drama about an interventionist. The Cleaner lasted two seasons, but The Beautiful Life?
The Office, "Double Date": Best Lines of the Night and Video!
I knew it was going to be hard to top the koi pond incident (and those Halloween costumes), but I was glad to see this week's The Office return to the storyline with new paramours Michael and Helene. This time, Pam is actually coming around to the idea of her mother dating her boss, but per his usual protocol, Michael is ready with a few blunders to messy things up. We also had a friendly competition between Andy and Dwight and — naked photos?
The Beautiful Life Gets Cancelled After Only Two Episodes!
The CW has pulled the plug on The Beautiful Life after airing only two episodes. The ratings were dismal for the premiere and apparently things weren't looking up after the second week on the air. This makes TBL the first of the new Fall shows to be canceled after two other new CW shows — Melrose Place and The Vampire Diaries — were both picked up for more episodes.
Danny Boyle's Next Project Will Climb to 127 Hours
After the slums of Mumbai, where will Danny Boyle go next? To the mountains: the Oscar recipient for Best Director for Slumdog Millionaire has signed on for his next project, 127 Hours. The film centers on the real-life plight of climber Aron Ralston, who got pinned under a boulder during an excursion in 2003 and saved himself by cutting off his own arm with a dull knife.
90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?
This week's CW drama block may have its share of cool guest stars like N.E.R.D. and Samantha Ronson, but, on the whole, it's a total mess. On the one hand, you've got the unstable girls of 90210 having emotional breakdowns at the drop of a hat; on the other, the Melrose Place residents are busy sneaking around to cover up their crimes.
