Arrivals, Returns, & Departures - 02/23/2012

Hello TV Ragers, and welcome to your semi-regular update on all the pilots, renewals, and cancellations that have taken place since the last issue was published. Let's get right to it with:

ARRIVALS (Pilots Ordered)

Nothing new on this front.

RETURNS (Series Renewals)

America's Next Top Model, The CW, Season 19 - "Created by Tyra Banks, America's Next Top Model follows a group of young women of various backgrounds, shapes and sizes who live together in a loft and vie for a modeling contract. The show exposes the transformation of everyday young women into potentially fierce supermodels, with participants facing weekly tests that determine who can make the cut. With mentoring by supermodel Tyra Banks and exposure to high-profile fashion-industry gurus, the finalists compete in a highly accelerated modeling boot camp--a crash course to supermodel fame."

Conan, TBS, Renewed Through Spring 2014 - Coco has been granted at least two more years at 11pm by his new basic cable home. I  previously covered this story to a more in-depth degree here.

DEPARTURES (Cancellations and End Dates)

Blue Mountain State, Spike TV, Canceled After Season 3 - "It's all about football at Blue Mountain State University, but being an incoming freshman on the national championship team consists of much more than that... there's also girls, partying, hazing and of course, class."

And that's all for this admittedly rather brief edition. It's been a slow couple weeks. Keep checking future A, R, & D updates in the coming weeks however. The closer we get to the April network upfronts and May sweeps, the more we'll be inundated with shows being dropped, picked up, and brought back. See you next time.
