Not long ago Media Predict users generated perfect forcasts for television cancellations for the fall season. Our users were perfect in the spring too, recording 100% accuracy in markets forecasting whether bubble shows would survive. See a full listing of television markets.
Over at ABC, living to see another day are “Boston Legal,” “Eli Stone,” and “Dirty Sexy Money.” “Scrubs” will make the switch to ABC after NBC declined to renew it. New shows include “Life on Mars” (in the plush post-“Grey’s Anatomy” time slot) and “Opportunity Knocks,” a reality game show from Ashton Kutcher. Here is ABC’s complete fall schedule.
“Moonlight” got the axe from CBS (no thanks to “Jericho,” another show with a small but rabid fan base that underperformed after execs renewed it for a second season). There are already rumors that Mick St. John will find his way to the CW, however, so “Moonlight” fans shouldn’t despair just yet. Returning shows on CBS include “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “The Big Bang Theory,” and “Two and a Half Men.” A minute-by-minute breakdown of the CBS presentation can be found here.
NBC allegedly attempted to kill the upfronts by announcing their fall schedule last month. In case you missed it then, check out this recap of NBC’s fall/winter schedule. Highlights include “Knight Rider” and a spin-off of “The Office.”
FOX will announce their fall line-up tomorrow. Check back then to find out what shows will flank “American Idol.”
