The Upfronts began this week, with NBC announcing it’s fall selections. This will also be the last year the Peacock network will schedule scripted programming during the 8 o’clock hour.
Sunday will launch with Football through January, followed by the 347th season of Law & Order, Medium and the new drama Lipstick Jungle, which about trio of high-powered New York executives who support one another in their professional and personal lives and is based on the Candace Bushnells novel.
Monday brings back Deal or No Deal followed by Heroes and new sci fi themed (and Quantum Leap inspired) Journeyman; it’s about newspaper reporter who inexplicably begins traveling back and forth in time, changing people's lives as he does. Sam Beckett and Al, where are you?
Tuesday starts with the next cycle of Biggest Loser followed by the new series from The O.C. creator, Chuck. This comedy/drama/sci-fi series is about a IT tech-support worker who becomes the government's newest asset when a massive spy database is embedded in his brain. Law & Order: SVU finishes out the night.
Wednesday starts with another edition of Deal or No Deal followed by the remake of the classic 1970's series The Bionic Woman. Life ends the night and is a drama about a detective who was wrongly imprisoned for a crime and how he must deal with real world again when he returns to the force after his release.
Thursday’s line up is mainly unchanged, as My Name Is Earl leads off the night, and 30 Rock now taking over the bottom slot from The Office, which moves to 9pm followed by what should be the last season of Scrubs. ER returns for what could be its last season also, and cleans up the night.
Friday begins with 1 Vs. 1000, then to be replaced by another game show, The Singing Bee (you don’t want to know). Las Vegas comes back with new star Tom Selleck replacing James Caan (who’ll be in the opener) at 9, followed by the critical darling, but low-rated Friday Night Lights.
Saturday starts with Dateline NBC followed by encores of other shows.
NBC will shuttle Law & Order: Criminal Intent (the lowest rated of the three series) over to sister USA Network. There the show can be repurposed on NBC if they need a slot to fill.
The network has also The IT Crowd waiting for midseason, and is a comedy based on the BBC series of the same name and deals with a group of IT workers and their daily humiliations of their jobs and a new, tech-averse boss.
Sent to the cancellation bin include 20 Good Years, Andy Barker PI, The Black Donnellys, Crossing Jordan, Kidnapped, Raines, The Singles Table and the overhyped Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip.
Tomorrow: ABC

I love heroes! I also am glad they got rid of studio 60. They need more shows that are about fighting and have action scenes not guns and stuff. Like karate and stuff like that. What happened to those types of shows like alias and stuff. I really really like heroes though.
