Upfronts Recap

Now that we can breathe a sigh of relief that TVnista's beloved Girlfriends and The Game are in fact coming back next season, let's take a look at some of the scheduling changes and new shows debuting next season that have peaked my interest:

First of all, I'm really glad that CBS decided to run Cold Case and Shark back-to-back on Sunday nights at 9pm. Brilliant.

Another smart move on NBC's part was to also run Las Vegas (now with new cast member Tom Selleck) and Friday Night Lights on, you guessed it, Friday night.

Also airing on Friday nights at 9pm will be ABC's new drama, The Women's Murder Club,

based on the best-selling crime novels by one of TVnista's favorite authors James Patterson, starring Angie Harmon and Paula Newsome. Click here for a video preview.

After the Fall run of Dancing with the Stars, ABC will unveil a new drama from Sex & the City creator Darren Star, called Cashmere Mafia, starring Lucy Liu.

Basically, it's SATC redux. Click here for a video preview.

On Wednesday at 8pm, before Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practice, airs a cute and funny take on being dead called Pushing Daisies.

Basically, this guy can touch people and bring them back to life to tell him who killed them. He resurrects his first crush but the awkward twist is that if he ever touches her again, she'll go back to being dead, this time for good. Chi McBride stars. Click here for a video preview.

But enough about ABC, I'm most excited about NBC's version of SATC called Lipstick Jungle, based on the novel of the same name, written by SATC scribe, Candace Bushnell.

It stars three great actresses: Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price. But we'll have to wait until Sunday nights in January, after the NFL season wraps. Click here for a video preview.

And there's only one new show on FOX called The Rules for Starting Over that sounds remotely interesting, with Rashida Jones

(yes, Quincy's daughter) as a divorce attorney looking for love. Again, look for it in early-2008.
