Wrapping Up the Upfronts

Well, upfront week has come and gone and what do we have to show for it? An unusually short, not terribly exciting list of new shows premiering in the upcoming season.

Fox Banks on Abrams’ FRINGE for Fall

Fox obviously thinks that Fringe is going to be the next Lost, and they may not be wrong. The sci-fi thriller from Lost creator J.J.

I have to admit, I thought it would be difficult for TV Bacon to be any more excited about the prospect of a new Joss Whedon show (hey, it’s not our fault he stalks us at Comic-Con, even when we change hotels). The news that Battlestar Galactica’s Tahmoh Penikett (Helo) is joining the cast of [...]

Ousted Women’s Murder Club creators Sarah Fain and Elizabeth Craft have become the first two staff writers to join Joss Whedon’s highly anticipated new series, Dollhouse, according to TV Barn’s Aaron Barnhart.
