Fox has announced it's fall schedule today at their Upfront presentation and the news isn't quite good. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has indeed been canceled along with MadTV, Prison Break, King of the Hill, Talk Show with Spike Feresten, Do Not Disturb, and Sit Down Shut Up.

Returning shows include fan favorites Family Guy, The Simpsons, 24, American Idol, American Dad, Bones, Cops, America's Most Wanted, Fringe, Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, House, Lie To Me, and game shows Don't Forget The Lyrics, The Moment of Truth, and Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader.

We previously reported that Dollhouse has been renewed. This is true however don't expect it to last too long. Fox has again marooned it on Friday nights only this time following the abysmal Til' Death.

First Look at US Ab-Fab

Jezebel.com has scored the above picture of Kristen Johnston and Kathryn Hahn as Patsy and Edina in the upcoming American remake of the brilliantly funny British show Absolutely Fabulous. Head on over to Jezebel site to read how this version may not be so brilliant...

American AbFab Patsy and Edina!

The pilot for the American version of the brilliant BBC show Absolutely Fabulous has been given a green light and the two lead have been cast. Edina will be played by Kathryn Hahn, who I honestly have never heard of but she does look the part. Patsy will be played by 3rd Rock From The Sun's Kristen Johnson. Not a bad choice if you ask me.

Fingers crossed we have a good show coming here. Considering Jennifer Saunders involved I can certainly see it will be.

AbFab USA?

Absolutely Fabulous can easily be described as one of the funniest shows in television history and now it is getting another shot at an American remake. It was first attempted 10 years ago by Roseanne Barr and Carrie Fisher but that attempt never came through. Now, it seems Fox is going to give it another go.

The show will be executive produced by Mitch Hurwitz, Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum for Sony Pictures TV, Tantamount and BBC Worldwide America. Christine Zander is on board to write the script and will executive produce along with the Ian Moffet from BBC and original series creator Jennifer Saunders!

If Jennifer Saunders is involved I am even more excited for this. I do think this would be a great show for HBO to be honest. Not sure it's best for network TV but we'll see what happens.

Want to see what the fuss is about? You can get the AbFab Absolutely Everything box set from Amazon for $102.99. Well worth it for this show.
