'Chuck' and 'Parenthood' are safe, but shows like 'Life Unexpected' still need our love
Though we've known for some time that two of our favorite sitcoms -- "Better Off Ted" and "Scrubs" -- were dunzo, the official network decision leaked out this week, just days before Upfronts in New York where the fall TV schedules will be formally announced.And though we're bummed about having to say goodbye -- We liked Cole and Lucy and Drew and "Ted" was kind of comedy genius -- we're also happy to get word that "Chuck" has once again made the cut and we've been pumped about the "Parenthood" renewal for a couple weeks now.
But there are several other shows still "on the bubble" and, we must admit, The CW's "Life Unexpected" is the one we're most worried about. Not that we think it won't return. The amount of love that "LUX" has received from critics and loyal viewers should warrant its second season pick up. But in this business, nothing is certain until the contracts have been signed and the checks are in the mail, so Korbi TV would just like to make our position clear: If "Life Unexpected" doesn't return, we're going to be angry. Angry and hurt. Confused. We'll feel jilted. Forgotten. Misunderstood, really.
If you rip Cate and Ryan and Baze from our lives, we'll feel just like Lux. Abandoned. We've let these people into our lives now, CW. Respect that.
Please?
And how do you, dear readers, feel? Is "Life Unexpected" a show you're pulling for? Or, perhaps, you're more concerned with the thought of "FlashForward" disappearing? "One Tree Hill"?
Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes, "Melrose Place" has blown up for good. This time around, the bomb definitely took.
So, yeah, talk to us in the comments section.
We'd like to know where your heads are at...
UPDATE Tuesday, May 18: Congratulations to the casts and crews of both "Life Unexpected" and "One Tree Hill" which, The CW announced today, will both return in the fall!

TRAUMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want Life Unexpected to get a season 2. This show has so much potential and a strong cast.
Life Unexpected and Mercy. I'm also wish FlashForward could some way be resurrected by another network, but I'm not holding my breath.
I really hope that Life Unexpected gets a second season that show is just such a great show and it touches my heart every episode is amazing and I really hope the CW gives it the senond chance it deserves!!! So please CW renew Life Unexpected and also if you can renew One Tree Hill I do like that show too the music on One Tree Hill is so amazing especially when they have Bethany Joy Galeotti(Haley James Scott) and Kate Voegele(Mia Catalono) sing on the show!!!
TRAUMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see a second season of LU!! the first better than i expected. The cast have such good chemistry it would be a shame to let this one go. And, Great news about Chuck!!
One Tree Hill NEEDS a Season 8. Our show has been running strong for seven years and our fanbase is one of the most dedicated out there. OTH is one of the most popular shows on the CW; it would be ridiculous to NOT renew it. We need proper closure for our wonderful, inspiring, and amazing show.
As a former OTH fan I hate what One Tree Hill has become. It's a truly horrible program now, and if any show has been on for too long it's that show. It deserves to end the most. Life Unexpected is a wonderful series, and deserves a real chance.I'm talking being launched in the fall, and in a better time slot CW!
I really want One Tree Hill to come back for a season 8. Even if it's only a half season. We need a proper goodbye after 7 years!
I lovelovelove Life Unexpected! I need it to come back for the fall! As for OTH...I've watched that show from the beginning and had some doubts about this season but it was done nothing but surprise me. Every week gets better and better! Keep it on CW!
