Entertainment Weekly's  Michael Ausiello is reporting that NBC has picked up another season of the freshman drama Parenthood.

We are so happy to welcome back this multilayered and compelling series about an extended American family for another season,” NBC prez Angela Bromstad said in a statement. “It’s gratifying that Parenthood continues to garner critical acclaim and is generating highly positive reaction from viewers, thanks to the fearless creativity of its producers and the extraordinary performances delivered by its ensemble cast.
 

The noise you hear is Luke Kerr attempting to do the cabbage patch.
 

Before season four even kicks off on NBC, the word is out that Friday Night Lights will be ending its run after season five. According to Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello,

Although an NBC rep insists no official decision on FNL’s future has been made, I’m told the network has informed the show’s cast that they’re free to pursue other work after production on season 5 wraps in June.
 

There are not enough words in the English vocabulary to express my love for FNL, so this news obviously brings a tear to my eye. Friday Night Lights’  fourth season finishes it’s run on DirecTV tonight and will premiere on NBC April 30. That's plenty of time for those of you who still think it’s "just a show about football" to let me prove you wrong!

According to Entertainment Weekly's  Michael Ausiello, Ugly Betty is getting the axe. Ausiello reports, the show's current season, its fourth, will be its last. Additionally,  ABC has cut the current 22 episodes down to just 20. In a joint statement to EW, Betty's showrunner Silvio Horta and ABC president Steve McPherson state,

We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.
 

 

Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello spoke out on the news of As The World Turns' cancellation. Ausiello, a former writer for Soaps In Depth,  and the now defunct Soap Opera Update said,

ATWT’s demise wasn’t unexpected, but it still stings. As you probably know, I got my start covering soaps. In fact, my first college internship was at ATWT. To watch the once-mighty industry wither away like this is beyond depressing.

Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting Heroes star Adrian Pasdar is leaving the show. In Ausiello's column last month, he ran a blind item hinting a lead actor on a popular show found out they were being let go by reading their script and discovering their character was being killed off. No word on the actor's last air date.

Man where is a hero when you really need one? Too early for the jokes?
