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. Patience is a virtue: What shows will return, and when?
Still trying to sort out what shows will be coming back and when. Here’s a semi-official update, based only upon the finest rumors and conjecture:
Returning as fast as their little feet can fly
ABC
“Lost”
“Grey’s Anatomy”
“Desperate Housewives”
“Brothers & Sisters”
“Ugly Betty”
“Samantha Who?”

“CSI: Cold Case”
“CSI: Ghost Whisperer” (not confirmed, but expected

Your guess is as good as mine
All of the midseason shows (though don’t hold your breath on “Cashmere Mafia” or “Lipstick Jungle” returning to production), plus:
ABC
“Women’s Murder Club”
“Boston Public” (TV Guide says it’ll resume production on between four and seven episodes in March or April, but as we’ve noted, it hasn’t been picked up for next season yet)
“Men in Trees”
CBS
“Moonlight” (probably back in the fall)
“Rules of Engagement”
“The Unit”
NBC
“Friday Night Lights” (Actually, this one’s likely dead in the water)
“Scrubs” (this is its last season; will it get to shoot that very-special series finale episode?)
FOX
“Back to You”
“Prison Break”
“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” (if does come back, it may not be until next season)
The CW
“Reaper”
“One Tree Hill”
