It's not even June and the major networks are all ready for fall. Here's a cheat sheet.
NBC: Thanks to the 2010 Winter Olympics, the network is splitting up its schedule into two shorter seasons. Regular shows will air fewer episodes.
New: "Parenthood," "Mercy," "Trauma" and "Day One"
Axed: "My Name Is Earl" and "Medium"
ABC: Over in alphabet world, the new lineup is giving me A.D.D. The network should focus on a few shows and make them really good instead of making a lot of OK TV.
New: "Flash Forward," "The Forgotten," "Hank," "The Middle" and "Cougar Town"
Axed: "Samantha Who?" and "According to Jim"
Almost axed: "Scrubs"
Coming midseason: "Deep End," "Happy Town" and "V"
CBS: Unlike NBC and ABC, CBS doesn't have to play catchup. The network seems to be trimming some fat and sticking with what's made it No. 1.
New: "Three Rivers," "House Rules" and "U.S. Attorney" and "Moonlight" returns
Axed: "Worst Week," "Without a Trace," "The Unit" and "Eleventh Hour"
