The CW has confirmed plans to do a Melrose Place remake for the 2009-2010 TV season. This was to be expected considering how well the new 90210 has done among the network’s target audience of young females (although it’s failed to make an impact in other age groups, or in general for that matter). Considering Reaper will probably be cancelled, it would only be logical for a 90210/Melrose Place pairing on Tuesday nights.

My Name Is Earl Cancelled
Parks and Recreation, The Office, and 30 Rock will be returning, but NBC has decided not to renew My Name Is Earl for next season. Earl’s current time slot will be split between SNL Weekend Update Thursday in the fall and then new show Community in midseason.
Ugly Betty Moving to Friday
The good news: Ugly Betty has been renewed for season 4. The bad news: it will be on Friday nights. The show will air at 9/8c after Supernanny starting in the fall. Typically, a Friday night scheduling means certain death. If nothing else, it’s a lot worse than its previous Thursday night time slot, one of the best available.
Cold Case Season 7
Cold Case, which has been on the bubble in recent months, has been renewed by CBS for season 7 and will be returning for the 2009-2010 television season.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Cancelled
We’ve been expecting it ever since Fox decided to move it to Fridays, where its ratings declined even further, but the network made it official by announcing that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been cancelled.
Bones Season 5
Fox has announced that Bones has been renewed for season 5. The show will remain in its current Thursday at 8/7c time slot when it returns this fall.
Dollhouse Season 2
Dollhouse, which has seen ratings declines every week since it premiered, has managed to nab itself a renewal for season two. Its iTunes and Tivo numbers have proven strong, and since Fox doesn’t have a great deal in its non-Idol powered fall lineup, the network’s ready to give it another shot. The bad news: it’s still on Friday nights.
Samantha Who? Cancelled
Samantha Who? struggled to find an audience when not paired with Dancing with the Stars, but despite that it was expected to receive a renewal for season 3. ABC announced today that the show has been cancelled. The network’s got a number of holes in its lineup, but the plan appears to be to plug those with new series instead. The remaining episodes will air during the summer.
