The great Kristen Wiig returned to host SNL this week, giving the show an opportunity to resurrect all of the characters that vanished from show since her departure a year ago. Although many great characters came back, none were quite as exciting as the return of Target Lady, one of the most popular characters in all of modern SNL.
Finally, the wild news of today's many cancellations and pickups comes to an end, with the Upfront and scheduling madness soon to follow next week, but all is not laid bare just yet.

Well, this is certainly not an article we expected to be writing.

And so, as general chaos emerges from ABC between the pickup of Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' and the multiple renewals being vomited forth, 'Happy Endings' fans are subject to some very sad news.

Well, so much for NBC's 2012 lineup. After yesterday putting 'Guys With Kids' and '1600 Penn' in the ground, NBC's Matthew Perry-fronted 'Go On' has officially been given the axe.
