In the news-but-not-news-because-they-are-rumors category, information is leaking out about which shows NBC, ABC, and FOX (nothing on CBS) is ordering to series and what they are dropping in advance of their official upfront presentations to advertisers next week.

Unlike my own upfront coverage -- based on facts and containing minimal speculation -- these are all rumors until these networks announce their schedules.

NBC (Presents May 17th)
Perfect Couples is reportedly hiring writers. Other pickups are/might be Chase, Undercovers, The Event, Love Bites, and Outsourced.

You can see detailed information on all of these shows by following links from my page for NBC's upfront introduction.

ABC (Presents May 18th)
No Ordinary Family has reportedly been staffed. Mr. Sunshine, Untitled Couples, (what?), and Happy Endings are meeting with writers. Detailed information on all of ABC's pilots will be available later this morming or early afternoon.

FOX (Presents May 17th)
Has ordered Wild Kingdom, Keep Hope Alive, Traffic Light, Lone Star (Mindland), and Ride Along. Lie to Me and Human Target reported to have been renewed. Breakout Kings, Breaking In, Tax Man, Strange Brew, Most Likely To Succeed, and The Station are all reportedly dead.

You can see detailed information on all of these shows by following links from my page for FOX's upfront introduction.

There's nothing coming out of CBS yet.
