We'll be writing thousands of words about the TV network upfronts on Zap2it this week, so we thought it might be a good idea to balance out all that text with a few pictures.

Wherever I can, I'll be taking pictures at the scene of the upfronts, which combine a sales pitch, the first look at new shows for next season and the chance to hobnob with TV stars into one grand spectacle designed to convince advertisers to invest in their product. It's also a good deal of fun, with events at such New York landmarks as Carnegie Hall (CBS, Wednesday) and Madison Square Garden (The CW, Thursday).

Here's some of what went down at the FOX events on Monday. Check back later in the week for more updates. (And, in places where cameras aren't allowed, you can also follow my Twitter feed for frequent updates.)
