TV Upfronts (NBC, ABC, FOX)

Every year around this time the tv networks make their presentations to advertisers (and the media) about which shows will be on their schedule next year, they call this the 'Upfronts.' Usually, we can all pretty much guess which shows will make it back and which will get canceled, but lately it's been harder to tell, which could be a good thing. In this year's crop we have some surprises, where networks are letting some low rating shows stay, while cancelling some higher performing ones.  Let's see what we have.

So, first, we have to get the bad news out of the way.  Here is a list of shows that we know for sure now have been canceled and will not be back next season:

• Brothers & Sisters
• Detroit 1-8-7
• My Generation
• No Ordinary Family
• Off The Map
• The Gates
• The Whole Truth
• V
• Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior
• The Defenders
• Chicago Code
• Human Target
• Lie to Me
• The Good Guys
• Law & Order: Los Angeles
• Law & Order: Criminal Intent
• Stargate: Universe
• Outlaw
• The Event
• Undercovers
• Chase
• Mr. Sunshine
• Better With You
• Hellcats

This list may increase, so please check back.  I say that because new Fox show "Breaking In" is officially dead as of right now, but there is a chance it could still come back. That's why I haven't added it to the list just yet. We must wait and see.

On to the good news then. Here is what we have as to what shows will be on the air come the Fall listed by network.
