2009 Upfronts
Which Network's New Shows Look Best?
With this week's Upfronts, the major networks made their first pitch for the shows we'll be seeing on TV this Fall. But which network has you most likely to actually tune in? Below, you'll find links to previews for all of the new shows.
Did Your Favorite TV Shows Get Renewed or Canceled?
It's been decision time this week for many of the bubble shows on the major TV networks. Some lived to see another season, while others got canceled for good.
Now that the Upfronts are wrapping up, I'm wondering: Did your favorite shows make it through?
First Look: Melrose Place, The Vampire Diaries, The Beautiful Life, and Parental Discretion Advised
We already heard that the CW had chosen a lineup of models, vampires, and LA singles for the Fall, but now we have a chance to see them in action. After the jump below, I've got the first preview clips of these takes on the Melrose Place residents, the lives of high-powered models, and the undead.
Speaking of undead — that may be exactly the status of the Gossip Girl spinoff.
First Look: CBS's Fall Shows
A Jenna Elfman comedy, a medical show led by a former Moonlight star, a legal drama with Julianna Margulies, and a spinoff of NCIS will be coming our way this Fall courtesy of CBS, which announced its programming plans on Wednesday. But there's no reason to wait till Fall to see if any of these series look appealing — I've got photos and clips after the jump.
One thing these shows have going for them is strong casts: I'm curious to see if Alex O'Loughlin and The L Word's Katherine Moening can keep Three Rivers from being just another medical show, and I'm rooting for Jenna Elfman (and can't wait to see Ashley Jensen again) in Accidentally on Purpose.
The CW's Fall Schedule: Vampires, Models, and LA Singles
The CW wrapped up network Upfront week this morning by presenting its schedule for Fall 2009. And it's about what was expected, especially after the first photos leaked out yesterday: the three new series in the Fall lineup are Vampire Diaries, the Melrose Place reboot, and The Beautiful Life.
In terms of scheduling, Melrose will air on Tuesdays after 90210 (remake city!), while Beautiful Life gets the post-America's Next Top Model slot on Wednesdays (model city!).
Will Takes on Katrina While Jada Plays Head Nurse
Jada Pinkett Smith brought Will along to the Turner networks' Upfronts in NY earlier today. She was the life of the party in her short cocktail dress, running around and chatting with other actors like Kyra Sedgwick and Tyler Perry. Jada's starring alongside Michael Vartan in a new medical show called Hawthorne, which premieres next month.
Sneak Peek: Melrose Place, The Beautiful Life, Vampire Diaries
The CW doesn't present its Fall schedule until tomorrow, but the network delivered a treat today, as photos from new series Melrose Place, The Beautiful Life, and Vampire Diaries turned up online.
The Melrose reboot counts Ashlee Simpson, Greek/Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star Michael Rady, and Katie Cassidy among its cast. The Beautiful Life, about models trying to make it in New York, is produced by Ashton Kutcher and stars Mischa Barton.
CBS's Fall Plans: Four New Series and a Rescue of Medium
CBS swooped in after NBC canceled Medium and picked up the Patricia Arquette drama at its Upfront this morning. Medium joins four other new dramas on CBS's Fall schedule, which seems downright reasonable after, say, ABC's 11 new series.
CBS's newcomers are the NCIS spinoff with LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell; Three Rivers, a medical drama about organ transplants headed by Moonlight's Alex O'Loughlin; The Good Wife, starring Julianna Margulies as an attorney who goes back to work after her husband's public scandal; and Accidentally on Purpose, a comedy starring Jenna Elfman as a movie critic who gets pregnant from a one-night stand.
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.
First Look: ABC's New Comedies
Get ready, because Wednesday nights on ABC this Fall are going to look a lot like the clips below. At the network's Upfront presentation today, ABC announced four new comedies as part of its 11 new shows: The highly anticipated Cougar Town starring Courteney Cox, Hank with Kelsey Grammer, The Middle with Patricia Heaton, and the mockumentary-style Modern Family. The four shows will air back-to-back on Wednesdays this Fall, leading into the new drama series Eastwick.
