LOL Gary and Dana talking up how much younger Fox's audience is versus NBC, ABC and CBS on the day they announced they picked up Tim Allen's Get Off My Lawn and a comedy set in an old folks' home.

Update #14: Crupi at it again!

Why is Ryan Murphy citing 9-1-1's live-seven-day ratings in a room packed with media buyers and advertisers? They're the ONLY people who don't buy* into that malarkey!

Upfronts Live Blog - Day 3

Update #1: CBS orders an untitled Wayans comedy and Welcome to the Neighborhood, another comedy, to series.
Update #2: iZombie fate still uncertain, with a false alarm coming from a star. Now, this is getting interesting.

Upfronts Live Blog - Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of upfront madness. Refresh this page for updates, folks!

Update #1: News has come from cable networks. Adult Swim ordered a pilot from Amy Poehler.
Update #2: Since news broke last, Santa Clarita Diet was renewed for a third season.
Update #3: To no surprise, Life Sentence was canceled. Correct prediction for TVRG.
Update #4: Fargo will start shooting in the fall of 2019. Looks like a 2020 date. In other news, we are still waiting on iZombie and Valor.
Update #5: BattleBots has been revived, and this time it will air on Discovery Channel.
Update #6: iZombie still undecided.

2014 had a high and a low. The iZOMBiE pilot was picked up for its first season but Liverpool failed to win the league. 2018 sees us waiting for news of a renewal and Liverpool are in the Champions League final...

Will I get both? Neither? Or just one? Exciting times...! #YNWA

— Rahul Kohli (@RahulKohli13) May 8, 2018

We may know more after this. Hopefully.
Update #7: No news yet, but apparently Comcast vs. Disney is on in the bidding for 20th Century FOX.
Update #8: Clayne Crawford will not return to Lethal Weapon after this season. Hunter and I made two articles corresponding to the news.
Update #9: Multiple actors have been offered the role of Riggs, but have turned the role down. This is messy.
Update #10: Valor now officially canceled. iZombie fate now up in the air.
Update #11: The Passage officially ordered to series.
Update #12: After Valor's cancelation, this tweet shows up.

That leaves #iZombie as the only CW show with an unknown fate for next season. Wondering how much of that decision is reliant on whether or not they pick up The End of the World As We Know It. (Side note: The CW could possibly have three shows starring aliens next year!)

Waiting...waiting...
Update #13: Still no news. Be right back, folks!
Update #14: Just as I left, AP Bio renewal and two series pickups were announced.
Update #15: FOX passes on Gone Baby Gone. NBC passes on So Close. What other news will be missed? See you tomorrow, folks!
