14th March 2012 Roundup

1. CBS renews a bucket load of shows.

CBS have announced they have renewed several shows for the 2012-2013 Season. 

Here's the list: 

• 2 Broke Girls (New)
• The Big Bang Theory (multi-year deal)
• How I Met Your Mother (multi-year deal)
• Mike & Molly
• Blue Bloods
• Criminal Minds
• CSI
• The Good Wife
• Hawaii Five-O
• The Mentalist
• NCIS
• NCIS: Los Angeles 
• Person of Interest (New)
• 48 Hours Mystery
• 60 Minutes
• The Amazing Race
• Survivor
• Undercover Boss

So out of the 18 shows renewed, 2 of them started this season, 2 of them got multi year deals and the rest have been renewed for one more season. Any CBS shows that aren't on this list haven't been cancelled yet, just not renewed. Notably missing is Two and A Half Men. Apparently it's contract issues which is stopping the renewal, but it's likely it will be sorted. So are you happy with what's been renewed? Are worried about any shows that aren't here? 

2. New BGT promo.

ITV have released a new promo for the upcoming series of Britain's Got Talent which features judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and new judges David Walliams and former Strictly Come Dancing judge, Alesha Dixon. 

The promo shows the judges getting calls when doing various activities to get their call for Queen and Country. Check it out above. 

3. The Titanic will set sail on...

The highly anticipated series Titanic from ITV has a premier date. 

The 4 hour drama has been created by Downton Abbey creator, Julian Fellows. It will start on Sunday 25th March at 9PM ITV1. The show follows a different set of characters in the first three episodes and then bring them all together in an explosive finale. It will feature historical and fictional characters and they could be staff, steerage passengers, upper class passengers and crew.

I'm really excited for this. I'm a HUGE fan of Downton Abbey so this should be just as great ! I also love the Titanic story. Are you looking forward to it?
