Network Updates!

FOX

Fox's FRINGE has been relegated to the Friday death slot, so it's more than likely going to be Fringe's last season. The mythology of the show has gotten pretty complicated this season, so i can see why the ratings have taken a dive, but i still love the show.

Running Wilde has been effectively canceled, and it will be airing its last episode December 28th. Fox has also canceled The Good Guys - its last episode will be December 10th.

Fox has picked up Christian Slater's new series Breaking In, a workplace comedy rumored to be replacing Running Wilde. 


CBS

Medium has also been canceled by CBS. It will air its last episode 1/21. 


SYFY

Syfy will be premiering Merlin's third season on January 7th at 10 pm. This is a great show that aired its first season on NBC.  It's a BBC import staring Anthony Head from the Buffy television series. 

Syfy also will be premiering their new show Being Human on Monday, January 17th at 9 pm.  This is a remake of the BBC show of the same name about a werewolf, ghost, and a vampire living together.  In this version, they live together in a Boston brownstone.

Syfy will air the Christmas episodes of Eureka and Warehouse 13 on December 8th.

Running Wilde...running on fumes

Fox has put Running Wild on hiatus for the rest of November.  Hopefully they'll just put it out of its misery, as the ratings are dismal, and the show isn't very good.

On another note, I bought the Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World DVD on Tuesday, and finally watched it today.  It was as entertaining this time as it was in theaters.  This is a movie i could probably watch over and over again and still enjoy.  Everyone should see it. There are a ton of deleted scenes on the DVD that are interesting ot watch as well.

WWE's Edge guest starring in Sanctuary finale in spring

via press release:



WWE SUPERSTAR EDGE® GUEST STARS AS AN “ABNORMAL” IN SEASON FINALE OF SYFY’S POPULAR SERIES Sanctuary



NEW YORK – November 2, 2010 – WWE Superstar Edge® from WWE Friday Night Smackdown® will guest star in Syfy’s popular series Sanctuary. He will portray an abnormal named Thelo, an integral character in the season finale (scheduled to air in spring 2011).

Sanctuary airs Friday night at 10PM (ET/PT), immediately following its tag team partner Friday Night Smackdown at 8PM (ET/PT).



Edge has proven himself to be a Renaissance man, having written a successful autobiography Adam Copeland on Edge in addition to becoming a 9-time World Champion in WWE. Edge recently finished filming the feature film Bending the Rules in New Orleans alongside Jamie Kennedy, Jennifer Esposito, Alicia Witt and Jessica Walter.



In addition to Amanda Tapping as Dr. Helen Magnus, Sanctuary also stars Robin Dunne as forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman, Agam Darshi as the quick-witted Kate Freelander, Ryan Robbins as tech wiz Henry Foss and Christopher Heyerdahl as the sinister John Druitt.

Season three of the series is executive produced by Damian Kindler, Amanda Tapping, Martin Wood, Keith Beedie and Tricon Films.

Series Updates for ABC, NBC, CW, Syfy

No surprise to most of us, NBC's (And J.J. Abrams) Undercovers has been cancelled.  The show never reached much of an audience and consistently recieved mediocre numbers.  The show will continue to run until December 1st, but production on the show has been halted.

NBC has given full season pick ups to Chase, Chuck, The Event, Outsourced, and Law and Order: Los Angeles bringing their totals up to 24 episodes.

In addition, NBC has upped the order of episodes for Community by two to make it 24 for the season.   This does not  guarantee renewal however.

Also, there will be no more episodes ordered for the CW's Life Unexpected, which is currently slated for 13 episodes, and it's not expected that there will be a second season.

ABS has cancelled the Whole Truth, which got pretty bad ratings.  They have not yet indicated if all 13 episodes would air.

ABC has given Better with You, Brother & Sisters and No Ordinary Family full season orders, bringing their episode totals up to 22.  Detroit 1-8-7 has been given an increased order, brining its total up to 18.

CBS' Medium, which is in its 5th season has had its order cut down to 13 episodes this seasin and is highly likely to be cancelled by the end of the season.

Syfy Has cancelled Caprica, their Battlestar Galactica follow-up that never really caught on with the fans.
