Upfronts: The names of the dead, Part 3
12:51 PM PT, May 12 2008
As the news rolls along with pickups, we also must pause to reflect upon those that have fallen. Some of these we've known for months, but the official word is now out -- such as about "Cavemen" -- and some were on the bubble until very recently (such as "Women's Murder Club").
We will add to this list as the news comes in. This is an updated version, with newly confirmed information in italics.
Such as: Steve McPherson, the entertainment president of ABC, said at a Tuesday morning press conference that "Oprah's Big Give" would not be back. "It wasn't something Oprah wanted to do." Maybe because she's starting her own cable channel? One would assume. But regardless of the reason: the show is dead, and it must be added to the list!
Here's what we know so far, by network.
