It's been a very busy night for FOX, which, according to various published reports, has already ordered several new shows for its fall schedule, including the JJ Abrams-produced "Alcatraz," the "Bones" spin-off "The Finder" and the Zooey Deschanel sitcom "The New Girl," while also deciding that "Human Target" and "Breaking In" won't be back on next year's schedule. Given all the action, and given that "The Chicago Code" was on the renewal bubble right along with "Human Target" and several other series, I thought I'd check in with that show's creator, Shawn Ryan, to see what he was hearing.

Ryan told me he had just heard from FOX entertainment president Kevin Reilly, who told him the show was also canceled. (As in it won't be on next year's schedule; the final episodes will air.)

Will "CSI: NY" survive to next season's schedule?

Upfront Week, when the five broadcast networks gather advertisers together for a big dog-and-pony show about their fall schedules for next season, is - like a lot of parts of the TV business (see also Nielsen ratings, sweeps, etc.) - a relic of an earlier era, when networks didn't program year-round, when there wasn't so much competition from cable, when DVRs and the Internet didn't allow people to make their own schedules, etc.

But Upfront Week (which begins on Monday with an NBC/FOX double-header) still exists, and even though many shows that in normal years would be on the bubble to return ("Cougar Town," "Community," "Raising Hope") were renewed weeks or months ago, there are still a number of notable shows whose fates are up in the air.

After the jump, I have a breakdown of the Big Four networks (I left the CW to Fienberg, who actually watches a bunch of their shows, to cover in his exhaustive, show-by-show Bubble Watch gallery) in terms of what shows are already renewed, what shows are near-locks to return, and then which of the bubble shows I think have a realistic shot to come back.

It's Monday, which means it's time for a new Firewall & Iceberg Podcast, in which Dan and I get ready for next week's upfront explosion by speculating about which bubble shows will return and which are in trouble. Plus, listener mail. The run-down:
