Lots of news from The CW: the network ordered a full season of its rookie drama Arrow.  On October 3, Arrow debuted on The CW with 4.1 million total viewers, making it the network’s most-watched telecast in three years and the most-watched series premiere since The Vampire Diaries in 2009.  Arrow is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television.   

The CW further gave three scripts each to its new drama series Emily Owens M.D. and Beauty and the Beast.

The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards will now air on The CW with a live telecast on January 10 from Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.  The show will preempt the network’s regular programming.  Critics’ Choice Movie Awards had previously aired on VH1.

Mike Darnell, President/Alternative Entertainment of Fox Broadcasting Company revealed yesterday The X Factor was renewed by FOX for a third season.  The X Factor was created by Syco Television and is produced by Syco Television and FremantleMedia North America.

FOX also gave two of its Tuesday night comedies more episodes as Raising Hope gained two eps for season three, taking its total to 24 and New Girl’s second season episode count was upped to 24 total.

ABC added two more episodes to its business-themed reality competition series Shark Tank for the 2012-13 season.  The order total for Shark Tank is now at 24 episodes for its fourth season produced by Sony Pictures Television.

Soon after its second season premiere and winning multiple Emmy Awards, SHOWTIME renewed Homeland for a third season consisting of 12 one-hour episodes.  When Homeland premiered its second season on September 30, the series delivered a +60% increase over its first season premiere with 2.07 million viewers for the night.  Production on season three will commence next spring and the series, starring Claire Danes and Damian Lewis is produced by FOX 21.

A new real-life series, Be the Boss debuts on A&E Network December 2 at 10p.  The original competition-style series pits two employees of a franchise-based company against each other with one earning the chance to become the owner of their own franchise and to be the boss.  Studio Lambert produces the series and companies featured in the first season include Complete Nutrition, Auntie Anne’s, Signal 88 Security, Molly Maid, Jazzercise and The Melting Pot.

Discovery Channel welcomes back Jesse James in a new series, Jesse James – Outlaw Garage opening November 5 at 10p.  This new series follows James who is a partner at the Austin Speed Shop in Texas as he strives to turn the business into a top-level custom shop.  Jesse James – Outlaw Garage is produced for Discovery Channel by Pilgrim Studios. 

WE tv is adding a new original series Obsessed with the Dress to its 2013 line up going inside a popular dress shop in Omaha where owner and former beauty queen Michele Strom dresses pageant hopefuls for their chance at a crown.  WE tv ordered six one-hour episodes produced by Pie Town Productions.  WE tv additionally gave second season orders to Kendra on Top with 12 half-hour episodes and two one-hour eps as well as L.A. Hair with 10 one-hour episodes.  Kendra on Top is from Prometheus Entertainment for WE tv and L.A. Hair is produced by Eyeworks USA for WE tv.

Early in the new year, ABC Family brings back four original series to its schedule.  Season two of drama series Switched at Birth opens January 7 at 8p followed by all-new episodes of Bunheads at 9p.  On the next night, all-new episodes of Pretty Little Liars returns on January 8 at 8p preceding new episodes of The Lying Game at 9p. 

Hallmark Channel is teaming with Time Warner Cable nationally to provide custom local video on demand content associated with the American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards.
