In one fell swoop, CBS renewed 18 series for its 2012-2013 broadcast season.  The renewals include four comedies: How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls and Mike & Molly.  Also in the comedy category, CBS and Warner Bros.

Following the death of three horses during filming, HBO has pulled its series LUCK.  The premium network released this statement yesterday:

“It is with heartbreak that executive producers David Milch and Michael Mann together with HBO have decided to cease all future production on the series LUCK. Safety is always of paramount concern. We maintained the highest safety standards throughout production, higher in fact than any protocols existing in horseracing anywhere with many fewer incidents than occur in racing or than befall horses normally in barns at night or pastures. While we maintained the highest safety standards possible, accidents unfortunately happen and it is impossible to guarantee they won’t in the future. Accordingly, we have reached this difficult decision.We are immensely proud of this series, the writing, the acting, the filmmaking, the celebration of the culture of horses, and everyone involved in its creation.”

Upfront 2012:  Hallmark Channel

Yesterday in New York, Crown Media Holdings, Inc. owner and operator of Crown Media Family Networks encompassing Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel revealed new programming strategies for both networks.

• Original Series in Development: For the first time in its 10-year history, Hallmark Channel is in development on two original series slated to debut in 2013.  The two series are from authors whose books have in the past been adapted into popular original movies for Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel.  The movie pilots for these two series include: 
• Cedar Cove, adapted from original literary works by author Debbie Macomber about the small town of Cedar Cove offering a backdrop for big and small stories.  Dan Wigutow and Michael Scott are on board as EPs.
• When Calls the Heart is a period drama based on the successful books by author Janette Oke.  The romantic adventure series relates the story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a beautiful wealthy East Coast young woman who wants to teach and leaves her comfort behind to start a new life in a frontier town where she meets a handsome lawman.  Brad Krevoy and Michael Landon, Jr. serve as EPs.

Original Daytime Series: Home & Family  Setting another precedent, Hallmark Channel will introduce its first new original daytime series launching in fourth quarter that will fit into the network’s Lifestyle block.  Home & Family will have 220 original two-hour shows airing over 44 weeks produced by Woody Fraser Productions.  The hosted series, set inside a 2800 square foot, fully-equipped house on the Universal Studios lot, will offer home ideas and improvements as well as home trends and products.  Hosts for the daytime talk show will be announced in the near future.   Steve Leon serves as EP.

One-hour Talk Show: Marie!  Hallmark Channel and entertainer Marie Osmond are teaming on a new lifestyle talk show airing weekday afternoons. Production on Marie! begins soon for a fourth quarter premiere.  Segments on the show will feature celebrities and non-celebrities alike chatting with Osmond about lifestyle tips and trends, current topics and breakthroughs that empower families.  Guests on the show could include famous celebrities to everyday people, to Osmond’s own family as well as leading experts in various fields.   Marie! is produced by ATI, Associated Television International.  David McKenzie, David Martin, Marie Osmond and Jim Romanovich are EPs.

Hallmark Channel Original Movies:  Staying with tradition, Hallmark Channel will serve up 28 Hallmark Channel Original Movies premiering fourth quarter 2012 through third quarter 2013.  Highlights of the movie titles include:

• Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade debuts November 4 at 8p
• The Wishing Tree starring Jason Gedrick and premieres November 11 at 8p
• It’s Christmas, Carol! starring Carrie Fisher, Emmanuelle Vaugier and Carson Kressley

• The Confession starring Sherry Stringfield and Katie LeClerc

Other movie titles currently in development include: The Good Witch 5 starring Catherine Bell and debuting October 28 at 8p; The Memory Book and Be My Valentine among other titles.

Acquired Series: Hallmark Channel picked up the first-run, off-net comedy series The Middle starring Patricia Heaton and will launch the first of 88 episodes starting in March 2014.  Additional seasons of The Middle will join the rotation as they become available.  The Middle, distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, joins classic sitcoms Frasier and The Golden Girls on Hallmark Channel.  

Upfront 2012:  Hallmark Movie Channel

Crown Media further said the production slate for Hallmark Movie Channel will increase in 2013 to nine Original Movies.  A few of the movie titles for Hallmark Movie Channel’s fourth quarter 2012 to third quarter 2013 roster include: Rites of Spring starring Shelley Long and Trevor Donovan; Goodnight for Justice 3: Queen of Hearts with Luke Perry as star and EP; Shadow on the Mesa starring Kevin Sorbo, Meredith Baxter, Gail O’Grady and Greg Evigan; and Home Sweet Home among others.

ZenithOptimedia injected a bit more optimism into their latest global ad expenditure forecast for 2012 in a new report.   The company predicts the global ad spending will increase in 2012 by +4.8%, up a tad from the +4.7% forecast they put out in December 2011.  Latin America and Asia Pacific will bolster the worldwide ad economy as Europe continues to weaken, according to ZenithOptimedia’s report.  To read the full report, please visit the Cynopsis website at www.cynopsis.com and look for the article link under Additional Industry News.
