It was a busy pre-upfront weekend for the broadcast networks. Also on Friday, Fox handed out a cast-contingent pilot order to
Shaun Cassidy's drama "Inseparable" for midseason. On the renewal front, Fox picked up sitcom " 'Til Death," while it
opted not to bring back comedy "Back to You" for a second
season.

Hollywood trades -- Variety , The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline Hollywood Daily -- are reporting that Fox has canceled the Pittsburgh-set sitcom "Back to You" after a single season.
That decision comes as a surprise. Fox renewed lead-in sitcom "'Til Death," even though it got lower ratings. "Back to You" regularly improved on the household ratings of its lead-in.
Despite some midseason tinkering with the cast -- one actress was let go, another role recast -- Fox seemed high on "Back to You," which starred Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton, was created by Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd and was directed by James Burrows.
