There are a few things that we are planning to hear “officially” when the networks pitch their upcoming schedules to advertisers in an attempt to draw the millions of dollars worth of advertising needed to keep executives feeling comfy and – to a lesser degree – television on the air. Upfronts are in May, but here are a few news items you can expect to be covered.

Fallon Takes Over For Conan - We were amongst the first to break this news, and you can read that post here.

Scrubs Goes To ABC - Once again, we’ve been talking about this for awhile, but expect it to be confirmed by ABC during upfronts. Scrubs is already back in production on 18 new episodes, though the network is telling them to keep it quiet. That means you can stick a fork in this deal, it’s done.

Sit Down, Shut Up on Fox - Mitch Hurwitz (of Arrested Development), Bill Oakley (The Simpsons) and Josh Weinstein (Simpsons) are teaming up for an animated re-make of Australian TV show “Sit Down, Shut Up.” The animated version will revolve around the lives of seven staff members at a dysfunctional high school in a small northeastern fishing town. The action centers on faculty members, as their egos and personal agendas trump the students’ needs.
