Hey, if CBS can have a
Game Show In My Head, NBC can have music.
The network has given the go-ahead to a new show from
All Of Us/
Baby Bob writer Jared Bush titled
Soundtrack. It's about a guy who loses his job and his girlfriend and then starts to hear the same song in his head over and over and over again. The song doesn't go away until he finds what meaning it has in his life. Then the next episode has him hearing another song and he'll have to find out what that meaning is too.

The upfronts are right around the corner, where network
executives let advertisers know what shows will be making the cut for next fall. Early word
from MediaLife is that NBC has the longest list
of shows might not be returning. Probably the most surprising show on the list is
Law and Order: Criminal
Intent. With the rotating cast and drooping ratings, media watchers say this one is likely on the chopping block
(the other two are safe, though). Things aren't looking good for
Commander in Chief, either. And, of course,
we already knew that there is a good chance
Scrubs will be... scrubbed (but possibly get
new life on ABC).
Here are the shows (on
all networks) that media buyers think are in danger of cancellation:

Still
Standing and
Yes, Dear (aka two of
The Five: Shows that give
lazy overweight men hope) won't return for another season.
The cancelation of
Yes, Dear comes as no
surprise, as CBS only ordered half a season and star Anthony Clark
recently announced that he'll
be the new host of the next edition of NBC's
Last Comic Standing (Yeah! No Jay Mohr!). It lasted six seasons
and is already in syndication.
The fourth and, most likely, final season of
Still Standing comes to
an end tonight in two half-hour episodes on CBS, according to
USA Today. While CBS hasn't
officially canceled the sitcom, which was the 93rd-ranked show this season, the producers and writers had no illusions
that they probably wouldn't return, so they handled the season finale as if it were the final episode for the series.
Since the show lasted four seasons, with 88 episodes, it qualifies for syndication.
