CBS is not set to announce their Fall schedule until tomorrow (Wednesday) but word has already leaked on the fate of several of their shows. Among those are two genre shows, as Ghost Whisperer received its walking papers but Medium (which CBS saved from cancellation over at NBC last season) will live one more year. Both shows aired on Friday nights this past season, and even though they typically won their timeslots, their numbers declined throughout the year. Apparently CBS decided to keep one of the two, though, and Medium received the winning card. No word yet on whether it will remain on Friday nights or get a new timeslot next year. Over at the fifth place network, the CW announced that they would pick up the spy series Nikita for next season. The series is based on the French film La Femme Nikita and will be the second time that it has been adapted for television. The previous, Canadian made, version had a successful run on the USA cable channel from 1997 to 2001. That network is also looking at two other genre shows, Nomads and Betwixt, but has not made an announcement on either them yet. The CW had previously announced that they would renew all three of their current genre shows: Supernatural, Smallville, and Vampire Diaries. They will reveal their Fall schedule on Thursday.
Update 5/19: CBS revealed their schedule for Fall 2010 which has Medium still on Fridays but now an hour earlier in the 8 PM EST timeslot. As expected, the network has no other genre shows on their schedule, though they will air Shit My Dad Says (aka $#*! My Dad Says) which may interest genre fans since it stars William Shatner.
ABC announced its schedule today, preceded by FOX yesterday and NBC on Sunday.
