Upfronts...

"Veronica Mars" got renewed! 
The slight wrinkle is that they do have the option of reducing their 22 episode order to 13. We're not going to think about that. 

I'm not sure why, but, upfronts this year haven't really excited me too much. 

Here's a quick rundown:

Cancelled: Invasion, Surface, Everwood, Four Kings,  Jake in Progress, Joey and a bunch of others., of course. I'm not particularly tearful about any of them.

NBC's into shows with numbers in the titles: Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip",  "30 Rock," and "20 Good Years." I'm slightly interested in Sorkin's show, which will have Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford, but the others sound eh. Actually, of NBC's pick-ups, I'm most interested in "Heroes," which is about ordinary people with super powers. At mid-season, I'm slightly intereted in "The Singles Table," which is a comedy about a group of singles stuck together at a dark table based solely on their single-ness at a wedding reception. They become friends, wackiness ensues.

ABC has a mis-mash of stuff, I think I'm only vaguely interested in "Brothers and Sisters," which has Calista Flockhart and Ron Rifkin. There's also more from JJ Abrams in the form of "Six Degrees," which is a tale about intertwined lives. Sounds sorta like "Lost" without the island.

Most everything else, well, I'm finding it hard to be excited about.

Surprises: ABC kept "What About Brian?" There are rumors of a Camden resurrection. Sigh.

They're very different shows. Iusually enjoy Veronica more than Lost. But, I still enjoy Lost. I hope you enjoy it too. I'm thinking you might find it slowish in the first season. I thought the pace was fine, personally. Anyway.

Good to hear about VM and Studio 60 sounds interesting. I'm not that familiar with most of the others.

Yea for VM being picked up!!! Boo for only 13 more episodes.

"What About Brian"...wha huh? Please, please, please no more camdens.......

As for "Lost", as long as I can see me some shirtless Sawyer, it's fine. Otherwise, meh.

Like the new do, by the way.

Well, it's a 22 episode option with a minimum of 13. I'm guessing we'll get all 22.

Yeah. Brian? really? sad. Oh well.

Lost is, well, I still enjoy Lost, with or without Sawyer. Although, Wednesdays are really lethal of late.

Thanks! I'm glad. I like the new do, too... ;)

Hope all's well with you...
