Lie To Me finally returns to finish season 2, but is it a burn-off? Normally, it seems that when a show is picked off the lineup after a fall run and then banished to the summer doldrums, it would appear that way. In this case, however, I think it has more to do with Fox having too many shows and too little real estate. If they wanted to burn it off, they would shove it on Fridays. I think they ultimately chose Fringe over Lie to Me for the fall lineup and are testing Lie to Me to see if there is some life in it when it’s plopped in the lineup to fend for itself in June. To the contrary, Past Life is nothing more than a burn-off, as it will be running its remaining episodes on Fridays, beginning with a two hour event that will kill off remaining episodes even faster (think: Dollhouse last December.)
Here is the rest of Fox’s summer line-up, as announced by the network today.

NBC has unveiled it’s new primetime lineup that will premiere after the Olympics. Now, instead of having “The Jay Leno Show” in primetime, NBC can be ignored with more “Trauma” in primetime. Here’s the full schedule as most television viewers won’t even see it come March.

ABC did not announce an early renewal for “Castle” as it did for “The Middle,” “Modern Family,” and “Cougar Town,” but it did something almost as good: It announced a sequel to the hit novel “Heat Wave” by Richard Castle. The second book by Richard Castle will be released in September, leading one to believe a third season of the fun detective drama is looking like a pretty solid possibility. Here’s the ABC press release:

Guiding Light hasn’t even been gone for more than a few months and already it’s time to say goodbye to the show that replaced it as the longest currently running daytime drama. CBS announced today that As the World Turns has been canceled and will air its final episode next September with production ending in June. Do the math, and that means almost one year to the date that GL ended, its sister soap will go black too.

NUTS!
The third time is hopefully the charm for “Jericho,” which has risen yet again. (more…)
