Well, here’s my take on what the upfronts mean to me. What shows I’m excited about, what shows I’m sorry to see leave, and which I’m glad are gone.

See the list of what’s canceled, staying, new and what’s moving after the break.

The Departed

I liked this movie quite a bit. It’s no Goodfellas, but then again, what is? Jack Nicholson was maybe a bit over the top, but all the other actors were really great. I had heard of the movie this is based on before, so it was interesting to see how it was translated into a less hard-boiled version.
