The news is breaking fast and furious in the days before the networks’ upfront presentations; this column is so late today because more announcements kept coming every time I thought I was done. As I was finishing this version, NBC announced their schedule for next year, so we’re going to hold that for a series of posts we’re doing on each network’s new schedule. Look for the first later today!
