BREAKING UPFRONTS NEWS: ABC Moves 'Betty;' NBC Cancels 'Earl'

Today it was both ABC and NBC's turns to step up to the upfronts plate. First, we'll take a look at ABC's announcement. As previously reported, Scrubs will return (at midseason) along with the final season of Lost. But the big news from the alphabet's presentation is the decision to move Ugly Betty from its prime Thursday slot to the less desirable Friday night. Here is ABC's complete Fall 2009 schedule courtesy of The Futon Critic:

Over at NBC, PTR Fave Chuck will move to midseason (but retain its same Monday slot) while fellow "bubble show" My Name is Earl was not as fortunate. The comedy will not return next season. Meanwhile, Law & Order will return for a record 20th season. The network is losing an hour of primetime each night (due to the new Jay Leno vehicle) and will carry the 2010 Winter Olympics, but did manage to pack a lot of returning and new series into its combined Fall 2009 and Winter 2010 schedules. Here's a look at both courtesy of The Futon Critic:
