The upfronts aren't for a few more days, but news has already leaked out about which shows are going to get axed, and which aren't.

Over at ABC, they're canceling Scrubs, Better Off Ted, Romantically Challenged, and FlashForward.

NBC is renewing Chuck for 13 episodes, and is more than likely canceling Law and Order and Heroes, but if they can Heroes, they plan to do a TV movie to tie up the loose ends.

And FOX is canceling The Wanda Sykes Show.

I'm mad (but not surprised) that Scrubs and Better Off Ted were canned. They were great, but both ratings disasters. I've never even heard of Romantically Challenged, though.

FlashForward getting canned is the biggest shock, though. I kind of lost interest early on, but FlashForward was supposed to be the next Lost.

Glad Heroes is finally gone... Flashforward, not surprised, it wasn't very good and ratings reflected that... Thought they'd cancel V too though.

I enjoyed Better Off Ted. It was quite possibly one of the most hilarious things on TV.

I'm glad they are doing another season of V. there has been so much add up lately that this show deserves another season for how epic it may be.

They renewed chuck for 13 episodes this season and it got more. I also read that Chuck is #1 on Mondays. I hope this means next season will get more episodes.

A pity, it was one of the only shows that could succesfully reinvent itself without it's more memorable leads
