Join Daniel, Nathan, and Jonathan as they present the Upfronts, providing feedback on TV’s newest hopefuls and predictions for major network failures. What are the Upfronts? Every year, at the end of May, the major television networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and the CW) meet with advertisers and the press to announce their upcoming cancellations and parade their replacement lineups. Advertisers then have an opportunity to buy ad time upfront. Essentially, networks escort their new pilots before a group of marketers and try to seduce them with promises of popularity. The result is a one-drop slam of potential programming. > Commentators > > > * Daniel Carver > * Nathan Carver > * Jonathan > > > Discussion > > > NBC – cancellations and renewals > > > NBC – new pilots > > > * Go On [http://youtu.be/ZkQ8dwI9f-4] > * Save Me [http://youtu.be/uDaqfNq60BE] > * The New Normal [http://youtu.be/GpJGXzdPXAs] > * 1600 Penn [http://youtu.be/NrfHnQ_Y_pQ] > * Animal Practice [http://youtu.be/nJXGIpy2nJ4] > * Guys with Kids [http://youtu.be/IeY-nDqyQAg] > * Next Caller [http://youtu.be/7RIdeoAdm2s] > * Revolution [http://youtu.be/JwfCRAtkYEI] > * Chicago Fire [http://youtu.be/bi3h9z1YUVc] > * Do No Harm [http://youtu.be/fJdiwuAkOlU] > * Infamous [http://youtu.be/IhXEOjI76vk] > > > FOX – cancellations and renewals > > > FOX – new pilots > > > * The Mindy Project [http://youtu.be/j0atkuby1SY] > * Ben & Kate [http://youtu.be/NOrIGYdLI0I] > * The Goodwin Games [http://youtu.be/pv2LlOJCj_Q] > * The Mob Doctor [http://youtu.be/cT1v4cIruhM] > * The Following [http://youtu.be/f8H4ewQzKFM] > > > CW – cancellations and renewals > > > CW – new pilots > > > * The Carrie Diaries [http://youtu.be/jDrIajxMJB4] > * Arrow [http://youtu.be/jcgB5AxeMVU] > * Beauty and the Beast [http://youtu.be/dLv1UFOF6B4] > * Emily Owens, MD [http://youtu.be/9BJCV1MNvUs] (previously First Cut) > * Cult [http://youtu.be/zJnIGUmzZTw] > > > Bonus Material!
