Recently, she has been cast in a series of upcoming movies such as The Calling, London River, No One Gets Off in This Town and King of the Pipers.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus returns tonight to reprise her role as a divorced working mom who's attempting to juggle the daily stresses of motherhood and work, while maintaining a positive relationship with her ex-husband on The New Adventures of Old Christine. But before we dive into the fourth season, let's review what has happened so far.
In the 10-episode third season, Christine and Mr. Harris had a smooth going relationship until Christine's schedule became too hectic, which eventually led Mr. Harris to break up with her. Christine found a new friend in Mike, who tried to help her through her breakup and then tried entering the dating scene again but ended up dating a guy who was still in high school. On the other hand, Richard and New Christine bought a house which turned out to be Christine's dream house, while Matthew and Barb slept together but split up at the end of the season.

It's CBS, so it's boring. Sure, there are a fair share of CBS shows that I will watch religiously, but for a non-procedural drama fan, the pickings are slim. CBS is a successful network because they know its audience and cater directly towards them. At this morning's upfront presentation, CBS unveiled its fall schedule, and the surprises were minimal. The network introduced five new series, which we will discuss below, and they all seem to fit in well with the network as a whole. Bubble shows How I Met Your Mother and The New Adventures of Old Christine have survived – Moonlight has not. Below you will find the full CBS Fall schedule, plus a look at each of CBS's new series.

You'd think the CBS upfront presentation would be pretty dull whit Wednesday. With the sheer volume of successful crime procedurals (the CSI franchise, NCIS, Cold Case, Without a Trace, Ghost Whisperer, etc) it's hard to believe there's any room on the schedule for new shows. Nonetheless, Variety reports that CBS has ordered six new shows for its 2008-2009 season, including four hour-long dramas. And while How I Met Your Mother is safe (thanks, one assumes, to the Britney bump), the amount of dramas is very, very bad news for Moonlight.

Men In Trees has been canceled. The Anne Heche-led series has had its fair share of ups and downs over its short life. It has had its moments (especially when placed after Grey's Anatomy on the schedule) but Men In Trees turned into one of those shows that suffered from schizophrenic scheduling, ABC moving it all around its prime time landscape, as well as keeping it off the air for long stretches of time. Now, it is gone for good. The Hollywood Reporter took a look at a number of so-called “on the bubble” shows today and their conclusions are somewhat surprising. Keep reading to find out the possible (probable, maybe) fates of Reaper, Moonlight, Boston Legal and more.

As the Writers' Guild Strike enters its fifth week with nary a development that could end the ongoing impasse, networks have been left with little choice but to come up with alternative programming schedules. CBS has just released its revamped emergency anti-strike lineup, which will see the return of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the rest of her gang on The New Adventures of Old Christine.
Also part of CBS' backup schedule is the freshman comedy called The Captain.
