Expected.

Now renew Parenthood, plz.

I'm glad Smash was renewed. Hope Parenthood will be too.

ABC is in preliminary discussions as per TVLine to renew the following series for next season:

"Grey's Anatomy"
"Revenge"
"Once Upon A Time"
"Castle"
"Modern Family"
"Suburgatory"
"The Middle"
"Last Man Standing"
"Happy Endings" ( )

YAY! My favorite show is coming back.

None of those is surprising though.

I just hope they don't fuck over "Happy Endings" in season 3 and give it the treatment they are giving "Cougar Town" this season.

Yay re: Happy Endings and Revenge. Not that either was in doubt (especially Revenge) but it's still nice to see.

I feel like we're not going to know Cougar Town's fate until upfronts, unfortunately.

Awesome news. Love me some Revenge and Happy Endings. And Modern Family too. I'm not one of the negative nellys that hates it now.

Ditto.

I see Netflix has picked up the River, and decided not to pick up Terra Nova. I think the cost was too great for them to pick up Terra Nova. So, will this be a new trend for Netflix? To pick up these type of shows and try to provide original programing for their streaming service? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if they picked up either or both Fringe and/or Alcatraz if they get cancelled.

LOL The River got renewed????

only by Netflix, so I guess there is hope for Alcatraz and Fringe because the River got worse ratings. Netflix has some strategy to put out original programming hoping to justify people to pay for the streaming service.

That hasn't happened yet. They are just in talks, just like they were with "Terra Nova" (which didn't end up happening as the show is now officially done).

Why couldn't Netflix be doing this back when Veronica Mars was canceled?

If only Netflix existed back then :p I am curious how well they will do with this strategy.

Netflix existed then. They just didn't offer streaming. I wish they'd pick up Cougar Town, which will likely be a goner .

They could, I would imagine it will depend on the cost. Shows like the River and Alcatraz don't really cost that much and would give Netflix some original shows. I am not sure what the costs of Cougar Town are, although it would give them a comedy series.

As much as I love Cougar Town, I think serialized dramas and not comedies are in Netflix's best interest if it wants to try this whole original programming thing

They will abandon the philosophy of picking up shows. FNL and Damages don't do much for DirecTV it seems. I haven't seen DirecTV bragging about their acquisitions anywhere

I think it will depend on how it works out for them. Netflix is different because it is trying to argue you don't need cable and can watch original programing on their service. They are trying to position themselves as an alternative to the networks.

"Bones" has been renewed for an eighth season.

"Glee" "New Girl" and "Raising Hope" have been renewed for fourth, second and third seasons, respectively.

Yay Raising Hope.
