It's the Upfronts, a time when TV networks announce what's in store for next season, in to lure in advertisers for the programs they're having.
If you haven't been following Too Much TV's Facebook Page or my Twitter account, I've been posting updates for Fall 2011-2012 upcoming new TV shows. I'm reposting it here and I will be updating this too.

- Upcoming show "Work It" starring "Prison Break's" Amaury Nolasco has a plot line so similar to Tom Hanks' "Bossom Buddies", an 80's TV show. Been there, done that!
- Happy Endings' Damon Wayans Jr. is actually on a new show with Zooey Deschanel (The New Girl). But since Endings is renewed, he will bow out of the Deschanel show.
- New show "Good Christian Belles" (where Belle was switched from Bitch) is touted as the new "Desperate Housewives".
- Missing Baze from "Life Unexpected"? His new show coming next season is "Ringer" with Sarah Michelle Gellar aka Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
- And of course also upcoming from CBS --- "Person of Interest" starring THE Michael Emerson. (That's Ben from "Lost", dear Losties!)
- CBS announcing new shows. Not very familiar with their line-up. Though I think I'll watch out for the Kat Dennings starrer "Two Broke Girls.

- NBC has picked up the new series "Awake" which is like "Inception" on television. I hope it's good! It stars Jason Isaacs.
- I'm also loving the idea behind upcoming series, "Grimm". The logline says it's about a "detective whose mission is to protect humans living in a world where Grimm’s Fairy Tale characters actually exist."
