Finally, the wild news of today's many cancellations and pickups comes to an end, with the Upfront and scheduling madness soon to follow next week, but all is not laid bare just yet.

Well, we could have seen that coming! Perhaps the most buzzed about pilot of the season, Marvel's Joss Whedon-directed 'Avengers' tie-in series 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' has officially received a series order from ABC. The joyous news for Marvel fans comes as the latest major announcement out of the buzzing Upfront news, with rallying cries of "Coulson Lives" heard all around.

The news has been a bit all over the place lately between cancellations and renewals, but today TV fans have been hit with one of their hardest cancellations to date.

Well, so much for NBC's 2012 lineup. After yesterday putting 'Guys With Kids' and '1600 Penn' in the ground, NBC's Matthew Perry-fronted 'Go On' has officially been given the axe. Irony jokes aside, we had hoped Perry might finally find post-'Friends' success, and 'Go On' certainly had some strong moments, but to ultimately no avail. Full details on the cancellation inside!
Just weeks ago all of 'Glee's' future had been in doubt, between Jane Lynch's controversial "Shooting Star" character exit, and the many contract renegotiations. Now, with season 4 officially in the can and seasons 5 and 6 guaranteed, 'Glee's' future seems secure save for one major cast member. Original series star Heather Morris has yet to resign a contract, and with her real-life pregnancy, could "Regionals" have been Brittany S. Pierce's last opus?
TV news might be running across the board these days, but we'll always make time for 'The Walking Dead'! AMC has released the first official photo from season 4, picking up some months after season 3 finale "Welcome to the Tombs," and it looks like Rick Grimes is already in serious danger!
The network pickups of the last few days might have dominated the news, but that hasn't made us any less excited for Adult Swim's new offerings in the coming year.

Sure, like most outlets we cracked a joke that 'Touch's recent cancellation would allow series star Kiefer Sutherland to finally get that long-stalled '24' movie off the ground, but who's laughing in real-time now? New reports have emerged that the Jack Bauer franchise will return to FOX as a limited series, with Kiefer Sutherland in talks to reprise his famous role. Find out if '24' will really return inside!
