The CW Renewals, Cancellations, and Pickups 2012

There have been a few renewals and cancellations here and there, but today was the day the internet EXPLODED with news of what the new television season will bring. I will continue to update this post throughout the next week, as Upfronts will be taking place in New York and we will be introduced to these new shows.

For each network, I list which shows have been renewed or cancelled (my shows will be bolded). Followed by a smiley face and exclamation points or a sad face and profanity. Then I will list all the pilots that were in contention for pick-up and whether or not they have received a green light or not. The shows I plan on watching will be bolded.

You can check out a full list (that includes other networks as well) of What's Renewed, What's Canceled, and What's Still In Between? (2012 Edition) via TV.com

You can read more details about all the potential TV pilots here.
