Happy Sunday! And here we have it: the first new scripted show to be cancelled was The Playboy Club. Next: Free Agents. And How to Be a Gentleman is shutting down production, too.

Also getting a full season: 2 Broke Girls.
CBS is moving Rules of Engagement to How to Be a Gentleman‘s Thurday slot.

Yes, Arrested Development may be coming back. MAY. Don’t get too excited yet.
Lex Medlin will be a regular on season four of Drop Dead Diva.
USA Network is ordering another pilot from White Collar‘s Jeff Eastin. Wheee!
Netflix is adding a second original show, a Norwegian drama called Lilyhammer.
AMC is getting into comedy, but God, that’s an awful title.
More movies being remade as TV shows: The Adjustment Bureau, Universal Soldier.
This new Jerry Weintraub show basically sounds like The Hour, huh? (Presumably it will sound less like The Hour when there are more details.)
TV Land is considering a Hot in Cleveland spinoff starring Cedric the Entertainer. Um, okay.
