'War Stories'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
So next week are the upfronts. Though I'm starting to wonder why they're even having them this year since everybody's announcing their pickups in advance. At last count, ABC has ordered 12 new shows, NBC 9 and Fox 7. (As always, the shows with the worst buzz have been ordered.)
CBS and the CW are the only question marks. And given the 11th hour resurrection of 7th Heaven, the CW's question mark is really big.
ETA: Oh yeah. Invasion is cancelled but What About Brian has been renewed.

That is pretty surprising. I thought Brian would be gone too. I watch it, but have yet to see anything stand-out about it. I quit Invasion after 3 eps because it failed to grab me.
I wonder if ABC's relationship (hopefully continuing) with JJ swayed the Brian decision.
Have you heard anything about Heroes? That intrigued me a while back. Largely because of the cast, I admit.
It got ordered yesterday.

Get the fuck out of town.
Also, ew.
I can't believe that 7th Heaven would continue on air. Kristen, I could google, but I'm supposed to have this thing written before later today so I'm just asking you instead (am lazy, too!): any news on Gilmore Girls?
Dear God! Is this show going to be around long enough for all these twins to have twins??
It is like the horror baddie that just refuses to die....
Happy Dance for the new thread!
any news on Gilmore Girls?
I'm not sure if it's been officially announced yet but the Gilmore Girls pick-up seems to be a foregone conclusion and Dave Rosenthal will be the new show runner. [Link]
I just read the Gilmore Girls interview, and couldn't actually believe how some of the questions were phrased by Ausiello.. I'd of hung up on 'em.
Ooh, I am now hoping more than ever that on Invasion they annihilate the human species because I'm not really sure how they can get out of the fix that they're in without more time. It's too bad because even though it started slow as molasses -- it really got better somewhere in the middle.
