Today was NBC’s upfront, but since they already announced their schedule a month ago, there’s not a ton of news, other than the first official announcement of what everyone’s known for months - that Jimmy Fallon is taking over “Late Night” when Conan O’Brien moves up an hour (and swaps coasts) in his 2009 “Tonight Show” takeover. More on that later. There’s also a new Ryan Seacrest-produced reality show about momma’s boys, but the last said about that the better, probably.

ABC’s “Boston Legal,” which was considered a bubble show, is coming back for a fifth season, though Watch with Kristin says it’ll have a “significantly scaled down cast.” Considering the show has radical cast changes every season - last year they lost Rene Auberjonis, Mark Valley and Julie Bowen - it remains to be seen exactly what impact this might have. As long as there’s James Spader and William Shatner (and to a lesser extent, Candice Bergen, and I’d be bummed if John Larroquette left), the show should be fine.

Jennie Garth will be back playing Kelly Taylor on the “90210″ spinoff/revival/sequel/whathaveyou, playing, you guessed it, a guidance counselor at West Beverly. Tori Spelling might join the cast, too. They can’t both be guidance counselors, can they?

“The Unit” will be back on CBS in the fall, and, as noted here earlier, so will “How I Met Your Mother.”

“Moonlight,” which is truly awful, is currently the Schrodinger’s Cat of crappy vampire dramas - it’s not on the fall CBS schedule, but it hasn’t been officially canceled yet, either. There’s a chance it could be “Jericho”-ed but I wouldn’t count on it (plus, is being “Jericho”-ed such a good thing? Getting your show saved to get a truncated second season that many fans saw as a disappointment?).

In heartening news, ABC renewed “Eli Stone,” a series that had a good run this spring and a lot of potential for the future.

The new Julianna Margulies vehicle/legal drama, “Canterbury’s Law,” starts 7 tonight on Fox. I haven’t seen it, but as far as I can tell from the commercials, it’s about Margeulies being pissed off at people. Sounds promising.

Reviews have been sort of mixed - Entertainment Weekly and Matt Rousch of TV Guide dig it, but Variety and the LA Times were far from impressed (the latter calling it a “Frankenstein’s monster of a dozen cop/law shows”).

I’ll check it out. I’ve been on sort of a legal drama kick lately - though I was at first lukewarm, I’ve been enjoying “Eli Stone” on ABC. I like the “he’s doing good things because he knows he’ll probably die soon” concept in fiction (I have very specific tastes), and it’s a good “quirky legal show” without being totally goofy like “Boston Legal” often is (which I still watch and usually enjoy, somehow). Though it is unsettling to see Species running around unchecked. One minute she’s working on a case, the next she’ll probably be shooting her tongue out the back of some poor guy’s head.

Plus, it’s good to see JM back on TV. Other than her role on “The Sopranos,” she hasn’t done much of notice since leaving “ER” in 2000, though she does hold the distinction (?) of appearing in both “Snakes on a Plane” and “Ghost Ship.”
