A Nan and Pa's Upcoming TV Show Slate with Renewals

I recently wrote this out for my grandparents to give them an indication on when all their favourite shows were coming back and if they'd been renewed for additional seasons or facing cancellation. Funnily enough none of the shows they watch I watch and vice versa pretty much so I thought this post could come in useful for an entirely new crowd of people than my previous ANT TV Slate post aimed at a younger demographic which includes me. They are fans of westerns and the slew of crime based procedural shows that do nothing for me. My nanna is also one of those daily soap dwellers so I left them in there because I'm guessing she's not the only one. Why else would they still be on the air?

Western News

ABC is considering trying its hand at a Western, confirming the order of a script for "Gunslinger" from ABC Studios and executive producer David Zabel, who last delivered "Detroit 1-8-7" for the network. Zabel was also an exec producer on NBC's "ER" from 2005-09.
Westerns are a rare sight in broadcast development, though NBC considered one last year from writer Josh Brand and helmer Peter Horton but ultimately passed. The genre has gotten some heat on cable going back to HBO's critically acclaimed "Deadwood" and an upcoming AMC effort, "Hell on Wheels." - Variety

Hell on Wheels is an upcoming American period drama television series that is set during the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. It will be written and produced by Joe and Tony Gayton and developed by the American branch of Endemol. Its first season, consisting of 10 episodes, is scheduled to premiere on the cable channel AMC on November 6, 2011.
The term "Hell on Wheels" is a phrase describing a collection of business locations such as gambling houses in the 1860s. - Wikipedia
