News & Notes

The Fall 2009 Schedule Grid is now complete as it includes schedule data for ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, and NBC. It also includes links to Fall Previews from all the networks. And there are “info” links after each new show named on the page; you can click those to see the official pages for those shows– many of them include video previews and other neat stuff. I may add selected scripted cable series to the grid this summer if there are any that start up in the Fall. I’ll also add premiere dates as they’re announced, but those usually aren’t announced ’til mid or late summer. There are usually at least a couple of changes to the schedule before Fall rolls around, I’ll try to update the grid as any changes are announced. I’ll probably post a printable version of the grid late in the summer, for those of you who like to print the grid.

The Canadian series Flashpoint will air on CBS next season, probably joining their schedule at midseason.
