Don't worry I'm not just here to piss on the grave of a dead show. Here's something I got from another board; long read:

I'll be denoting new series with an asterisk (*) and providing a synopsis at the bottom.

Sunday
7:00 - America's Funniest Home Videos

NEW SERIES SUMMARIES
Cougar Town (Courteney Cox, Christa Miller, Busy Philipps, Dan Byrd, Brian Van Holt, Josh Hopkins, Ian Gomez)
In a small Florida town, the center of high society is the Cougars high school football team... which is wildly appropriate since this town is the natural habitat for over-tanned, under-dressed divorcées prowling for younger men.

The Deep End (Matt Long, Ben Lawson, Tina Majorino, Norbert Leo Butz, Leah Pipes, Billy Zane, Sherri Saum, Clancy Brown)
Sterling Law is one of L.A.'s most prestigious law firms. Each year it recruits four new young lawyers from the finest law schools worldwide. It will nurture, guide and shape these recruits into the best damned lawyers they can possibly be -- or else.

Flash Forward (Joseph Fiennes, John Cho, Jack Davenport, Sonya Walger, Courtney B. Vance, Brian O'Byrne, Christine Woods, Zachary Knighton, Peyton List)
A mysterious global event causes everyone to black out simultaneously for two minutes and seventeen seconds, and each person sees a glimpse of their lives six months from now. When they wake up, everyone is left wondering if what they saw will actually happen.

The Forgotten (Rupert Penry-Jones, Reiko Aylesworth, Michelle Borth, Bob Stephenson, Anthony Carrigan, Rochelle Aytes)
Gone but not forgotten. That's what they say. But what if a killer took your life -- and your name? Every city has its share of unidentified murder victims. When standard police procedure fails to give them a name, that's when the Identity Network steps in.

Hank (Kelsey Grammer, Melinda McGraw, David Koechner, Macey Cruthird, Ryan Wynott)
Sometimes scaling back is the best way to get ahead. Wall Street legend Hank Pryor (Kelsey Grammer) and his wife Tilly have been living the high life in New York City. That is until Hank is forced out of his CEO job and has to move his family back home to the small town of River Bend.

Happy Town (Geoff Stults, Lauren German, Amy Acker, Dean Winters, John Patrick Amedori, Sarah Gadon, Jay Paulson, Robert Wisdom, Sam Neill)

From Mark Burnett, executive producer of Survivor and The Apprentice, and Sony Pictures Television, comes Shark Tank, an exciting, new reality show that gives budding entrepreneurs the chance to make their dreams come true and become successful -- and possibly wealthy -- business people.

Charlotte Payne is looking for love. She's dated lots of men and has been proposed to ten times, but has yet to meet Mr. Right. So Charlotte decides to join a popular online dating site, where she has to take a 100-question compatibility test. The questions aren't easy for Charlotte to answer, and each one requires her to recount a poignant and humorous time in her life with friends Leslie, Jill, Mike and Wayne. The test becomes a journey of self-discovery for Charlotte and helps her realize what she truly wants in a relationship.

Community (Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, John Oliver, Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie)
It's been said that community college is a "halfway school" for losers, a self esteem workshop for newly divorced housewives, and a place where old people go to keep their minds active as they circle the drain of eternity. Well, at Greendale Community College...that's all true. Community focuses on a band of misfits, at the center of which is a fast-talkin' lawyer whose degree has been revoked (Joel McHale, The Soup). They form a study group and, in "Breakfast Club" fashion, end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work.

Day One (David Lyons, Julie Gonzalo, Adam Campbell, Carly Pope, Thekla Reuten, Derek Mio, Addison J. Timlin, Catherine Dent, April Grace, Xander Berkeley)
In the aftermath of a global event that devastates the world's infrastructures, a small band of survivors strives to rebuild society and unravel the mysteries of why the event took place and what the future has in store.

The Marriage Ref
Jerry Seinfeld is back and in the producer's chair for a funny and revealing series about the unpredictable and hilarious institution we call marriage. In his celebrated NBC sitcom Seinfeld, Jerry and friends became household names by highlighting humorous and relatable situations surrounding single life in New York City. In Jerry's new primetime venture, married life takes center stage as celebrities, comedians and sports stars candidly comment, judge and decide who's right and who's wrong in real-life disputes between real-life spouses.

Mercy (Taylor Schilling, Michelle Trachtenberg, Jamie Lee Kirchner, James Tupper, Diego Klattenhoff, James LeGros, Delroy Lindo, Guillermo Diaz)
You haven't seen inside a hospital until you've seen it through the eyes of those who know it best: its nurses. Veronica Callahan is one of those nurses. She just returned to Mercy Hospital from a tour in Iraq and knows more about medicine than all of the residents combined. Together with fellow nurses Sonia and Chloe, she navigates the daily traumas and social landmines of life and love both inside the hospital and out in the real world.

Parenthood (Peter Krause, Maura Tierney, Dax Shepard, Monica Potter, Erika Christensen, Sam Jaeger, Craig T. Nelson, Bonnie Bedelia, Mae Whitman, Sarah Ramos, Miles Heizer, Max Burkholder, Savannah Argenti)

Life was such an awesome show

at it being cancelled. My Name Is Earl was slightly entertaining. Hopefully it goes to another station. And Medium is asurprise to me, but that might go to another station too

And I can't believe they renewed Parks and Recreation. It's such a garbage show

 

[falcon4567]

Life ended exactly where it needed to; everything was wrapped up perfectly. The only way they could've done a third season was if they came upwith another conspiracy which would've been contrived or turned it into a normal procedural which robs them of the mytharc structure that was sointegral to the show.

 

[pr0phecy718]

Do any of you ppl realize that King of Hill has been on for 13 seasons? why act so surprised? Do you really want them to continue and come out with pointlessshows like the Simpsons have been doing for like almost the last 10 years?

After the season finale, now series finale, I knew the show was done. It just seemed like they could have done more with the show. I lovedCharlie's character

 

[ce0 mal]

Bones: Sure thing. Now officially renewed for two seasons.
