LOWDOWN ON THE TV UPFRONTS
This week were the television upfronts in New York. That's the annual sales event where the networks roll out their new shows in the hopes of selling about 9 billion dollars worth of commercial time to advertisers.

John and Kim talk about what happened and what we'll all be watching come the fall.
