A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

STILL COOCOO FOR COCOA PUFFS: In happy news, this report indicates that "Boston Legal" will return for a second season in the fall (alongside renewals of "Desperate Housewives," "Lost," and "Alias"). Interestingly, another report (from a less reliable source) confirms the return of some cast members, it makes no mention of whether Candice Bergen, Mark Valley, and Rene Auberjonois will return for a second season. If I were a betting man, Valley and Monica Potter may be on the chopping block, given that they've recently had difficulty finding storylines for them, a problem that may be heightened by the need to write into or around Potter's pregnancy. That takes one show off the bubble, but leaves a number of shows I watch, including "AD," "Jack & Bobby," and "Joan of Arcadia" stedfastly on the bubble, with the ax likely to swing for at least one of them.
