ABC renews the nine
No, not that show it cancelled last season. ABC today announced that the following shows will be returning in the fall:
“Brothers & Sisters”
“Desperate Housewives”
“Dirty Sexy Money”
“Grey’s Anatomy”
“Lost”
“Private Practice”
“Pushing Daisies”
“Samantha Who?”
“Ugly Betty”
Pointedly not on the list: “Boston Legal,” “Men in Trees,” “Big Shots,” “October Road,” “Cashmere Mafia,” “Carpoolers,” “According to Jim,” "Notes from the Underbelly" and, of course, “Cavemen.”
Don’t despair, “Dancing with the Stars” fans: No reality shows on the list, because those don’t require the sort of time and planning to slap together that scripted shows do.
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
