This week is the upfronts for the next season of TV starting in the fall. The upfronts is a presentation by the networks where they sell their new seasons in an effort to get advertisers on board and excited.
The biggest news so far is that Jimmy Fallon will take over Conan O'Brien's time slot with Conan takes over the Tonight Show in 2009. Below is a summation of the link information I have stumbled across so far for each network in the last few days.

Ordered - Life on Mars, Opportunity Knocks (game show), The Eleventh Hour (drama), The Mentalist (drama), The Ex-List (romance), Harper's Island (thriller), Project Gary (comedy, Paula Marshall stars, one of my fav actresses), Worst Week (comedy)
