“Enemy” is slated to air in the Monday 10 p.m. slot in the fall.
Upfront week is an exciting time for any TV fan. By and large, this is the first time most viewers will learn about what new shows the networks are going to war with next season. For The CW network, upfronts are a time of unbridled optimism. As the far and away least successful major network, CW executives can hope and pray that this is the year they break through into the mainstream. FOX, if you remember, took many years to finally gain traction and eat into the big three networks. Now, we refer to FOX, ABC, NBC, and CBS as the big four. The CW would very much like to make it a big five. As upfront week gets underway, we have news from TVGuide and E!Online about a couple new series from the CW (one that is set in Beverly Hills…hint, hint) and some news about the fate of one of ABC’s most notable franchises.
ABC:
Boston Legal, whose fate appeared to be up in the air, has been renewed for another season.
Eli Stone, which has picked up a cult following, will likely return for a second season.
Life on Mars, which was originally a BBC series, looks like it will make its way onto ABC’s fall schedule
We will report more upfront stories as they come in. Stay tuned.
