To Cancel or Not to Cancel Update

There was a bit of news yesterday for your favorite TV shows next Fall. Most of the announcements will be made Monday or Tuesday.

• Against all odds, "Dollhouse" is getting a second season. Josh Whedon, perhaps the first and only third-generation television writer and one of my all-time favorites, is getting a chance to further develop his sci-fi show. Here's an insightful article about how a show like "Dollhouse" can overcome abysmal ratings to be picked up for renewal.
• "Scrubs" may not be gone after all. After one of the best series finales ever, ABC is reportedly going to bring (some of?) the cast back for a little bit more, and maybe change the show's concept and format. What?!
  
• "V" is back. Remember the lizard-Nazi-aliens disguised as human visitors in flying saucers show from the '80's? It's going to be redone by ABC.
• Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton are back, but not together. The two paired in the well received but quickly canceled "Back to You" a year ago, but now they'll appear on ABC in separate sitcoms called "Hank" and "The Middle," which puts Heaton opposite Neil Flynn (The Janitor from "Scrubs"). Overall, ABC seems to be going back to more sitcoms next year.
• To everyone's shock and amazement, a Nathan Fillion show ("Castle") got renewed. We knew you could do it!

It would be hard for the geek in me not to check out "V" and I'll watch anything that Kelsey Grammer does. I was ready for "Scrubs" to end… and it did… but now it's back? Uh… I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Does anybody know if "Castle" is any good? What about "Fringe"?

More news and TV rumor confirmation coming this week.
