• The CW will bring back many of the more popular series from WB and UPN, including hit series 7th Heaven, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Supernatural, One Tree Hill from the WB; and Everybody Hates Chris, All of Us, Girlfriends, Veronica Mars and WWE Smackdown from UPN. Also expected to return are America's Next Top Model and Beauty & the Geek. Only two new series for The CW in the fall - Runaway (Sony Pictures Television) and The Game (CBS Paramount Network TV), the latter being a spinoff of Girlfriends. Also in the hopper is primetime soap Palm Springs from Kevin Williamson (Lionsgate Television).
  
• As for Fox - two things to know. What you know as the drama pilot Primary about crisis negotiators has been retitled as Standoff; and what you may recall as American Crime also has a new name - Justice. Other new shows to be announced this afternoon are The Wedding Album, The Winner, Happy Hour, Til Death and Vanished.
Hee, The Wedding Album was shot on the street where my office is. When I checked IMDB, they just mentioned there was a pilot, but not for what network. I'll tune in just for fame by proxy.

• From CBS - The Class – A group of twentysomethings who were all in the same third grade class reunite and are forever bound together after wondering if they have anything in common besides vague memories. From Warner Bros. Television. Haven't there been at least five shows in the past few years with a similar plot device? High school reunions, reuniting friends who grew up together. Seriously, are all the writers exactly 30?
  
• Jericho – The residents of a small Kansas town are thrown into chaos when a nuclear bomb explodes leaving them to think they might be the only people left alive. Stars Skeet Ulrich, Gerald McRaney among others. Produced by CBS Paramount Network Television in association with Junction Entertainment. So THAT'S what happened to Skeet Ulrich! But hey, CBS - trust me, most Kansas towns are like that ANYWAY, nuclear bomb or no. Yes, yes, I realize you're trying to rip off Lost, but I thought I'd let you know.
  
• Oh, and cheekybaby, How I Met Your Mother will be on at 8p Monday next season - don't know if that's a change or anything...

Oh, and did they bring back 7th Heaven just so entertainment show hosts could make resurrection jokes? I was flipping channels last week and there was 7th Heaven, WITH the words "SERIES FINALE" in the bottom right corner where they usually tell you what friggin' channel you're watching.

What the hell, man? Get a new family-friendly show.

Now that you mention that, I remember it too. Maybe they're calling it a series finale, because it's off that network? That's what WB did to Buffy when it wasn't permanently ending, just changing networks.

7th Heaven got a last minute reprieve by the network. They originally cancelled it because producing the show became cost prohibitive but at the last minute changed their mind.

then EVERYTHING is a series finalie.
I think they were just to lazy to change the promos, you know how t hose people can be, you ask them to retag something and they just spit in your face and knock over your candy bowl.

Look, I only did that like 17 times, don't be such a baby. And when y'all move Thorn Birds to a million different time slots in the space of a week, you'd understand.

it was 18 times and you didnt have to make me eat the candybar off the bottom of your shoe, I hope it was a candy bar.

I didnt even change the schedule
