Show Cancellation/Renewal Updates!

It's Monday and the Network Upfronts have begun, bringing news of sorrow and joy to loyal fanbases everywhere....

FOX
FOX announced a 2-season pickup for Bones (whee!) despite a disappointing season ender. Other exciting pickups include a trimmed-back Dollhouse and a fall run for So You Think You Can Dance. New anticipated series Glee also debuts this fall, but make sure to catch the "preview" episode tomorrow night following Idol. So what got the axe? Terminator. Sorry folks, something's gotta give.

NBC
NBC made a good decision today and picked up Chuck for 13 more episodes, but its shrunken budget might mean fewer Chuck-karate sequences and a slimmed-down cast. Since both Chuck and Morgan left the Buy More, it's a safe bet we'll lose both the set and the employees. If I had to guess, I'd say that Big Mike and Emmet are definitely goners, but the show will likely keep Morgan and Jeffster in limited capacity. NBC has also yet to pick up Medium, but if it's not renewed at the Peacock, it may have a new home at CBS come the fall.

ABC
ABC picked up Castle (yay!) but not the Unusuals. Can't say I blame them. It also looks like Scrubs will be renewed for another half-season, with Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke both reportedly signing 6-episode deals.

CBS
The Eye has all but canceled Without a Trace but has a few new shows lined up on the horizon, including a yet-to-be-named NCIS spinoff starring Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J and a medical drama called Three Rivers starring Moonlight's Alex O'Laughlin.

Do you have any other intel on the 2009 Fall lineup? Any other shows you're still wondering about?
