If 'Glee' has you yearning for more song-and-dance routines on TV, hold onto your (top) hats! From April 29 to May 5, Fox is turning several of its shows into musicals, including 'Bones,' 'House,' 'The Simpsons,' even 'Fringe.' On May 2, 'Family Guy' will celebrate its 150th episode with an extended episode featuring new and familiar musical numbers. Suffice to say the shows should be a blast, for both us and the actors.

Of course, TV aficionados know this is nothing new. Shows like 'Ally McBeal,' 'Eli Stone,' and 'SpongeBob SquarePants' have featured musical numbers regularly, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention 'Viva Laughlin' and 'Cop Rock' (even though the latter was declared by TV Guide to be one of the worst shows ever, ouch!). In fact, we can trace the trend back to classic episodes like Bugs Bunny's 'The Rabbit of Seville' and 'What's Opera, Doc?'

I'm sure most fans of the series expected this news since The WB had already canceled 7th Heaven last season before The CW decided to resurrect it so it would have some long-time running shows in its launching schedule. According to the Watch With Kristin column at E! Online, the cast and crew of the series have been told today that the series would not return for a twelfth season.

7th Heaven stars Stephen Collins, Beverley Mitchell, Catherine Hicks, Mackenzie Rosman, and many more. It also introduced us to Barry Watson and Jessica Biel just to name two.

No matter what we think about the series, it made TV history when, in its 10th season, 7th Heaven became the longest running family drama on TV.

New episodes (and possibly the final episodes of the series) will resume on Sunday April 8 on The CW.

What is the deal with all the on-again, off-again news about 7th Heaven? I'm really sick of the show and I don't even watch it! The latest, coming from Mediaweek, is that The CW has ordered up 13 episodes of an 11th season of 7th Heaven (which Bob says had a crappy finale earlier this week). We'll know for sure on Thursday when The CW announces its fall schedule. As of now, The CW is refusing to comment.

In case you're keeping track, last November WB announced this was the final season of 7th Heaven. The cast even had a big series wrap party after shooting the last episode. But, now that WB and UPN are no more, The CW reportedly wants WB's highest-rated show on its network. It makes sense. But, why all the back and forth about whether the show is over?
