Upfronts fall into place

May 06, 2008 Stability seems to be the key word for the broadcast networks' schedules this year, as things are beginning to come into focus five days before the annual upfront presentations. ABC, which is returning the largest slate of freshman series and opted to produce most of its pilots after the upfronts, is expected to add only a couple of new series to its fall lineup. Rumored as potential new series announcements are Ashton Kutcher's reality game "Opportunity Knocks," David E. Kelley's drama "Life on Mars" and the NBC import "Scrubs."
