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.

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.

Syfy renews Haven and Warehouse 13

Syfy has renewed Warehouse 13, Syfy's highest rated show in 2010 for a third season of 13 episodes.  The show was Syfy's most watched in 2010, and was well received by critics.  It's main theme song was also nominated for an Emmy. 

Syfy's new 2010 summer show, Haven (based on the Colorado Kid by Stephen King), has been renewed for a second season, to shoot in Spring 2011 for a summer 2011 release (probably still using this year's lead in Eureka as it's lead-in again).  Haven held 82 % of its viewers from its Eureka lead-in, and doubled the Syfy Friday 10 pm ratings average.
