Total Bliss!:
Returning shows snagging official pickups are laffers "Girlfriends" and "The Game" and dramas "Smallville," "Supernatural" and "One Tree Hill." CW picked up "Everybody Hates Chris" for a third season earlier this spring.
As expected, execs at the Green net Tuesday called the producers of "Gossip Girl," "Reaper" and a remake of Blighty family drama "Wild at Heart" (still untitled at the CW) to give them the good news. After some last-minute snags, comedy "Aliens in America" also got the go-ahead Tuesday afternoon.
I'm mildly bummed about the fate of Veronica Mars (which seems to be cancellation), but nothing can bring me down from my Supernatural high.
ABC's schedule is a bit of a yawn (Full Press Release). Most of their new shows appear to be frothy, female-oriented dramedies in the vein of Grey's Anatomy, a show I despise. I'm mildly interested in Pushing Dasies, a "forensic fairytale" about a man who can bring the dead back to life with a single touch (partly because Kristen Chenowith will support), and I'll give Big Shots a try just because Josh Malina is in it (though the premise, a sort of male Sex in the City, gives me hives).
And Cavemen? WTF?!
I'm happy Lost and Ugly Betty are back, but that's about as far as I see ABC and me developing our longterm TiVo relationship.
