ThunderCats Reboot Coming to Cartoon Network

It is unknown whether Abrams would be involved given he is in the midst of launching his new series Undercovers for NBC. The thinking is that a new Alias could fill an audience void which looms large now that Lost has concluded. The network failed to deliver with either FlashForward (canceled) or V (disappointed) which were regarded as...

CBS is the only network of the big four that has yet to release their fall schedule however we now know of seven series that have gotten the ax. Ghost Whisperer, Cold Case, Numb3ers, New Adventures of Old Christine, Gary Unmarried, Accidentally on Purpose, and Miami Medical. None of these cancellations are particularly surprising.
