TNT and TBS have been hard at work creating a 2010/2011 lineup that leaves other cable networks clamoring to keep up with them. This new, potential lineup features some serious star power. From Conan O’Brien to Don Cheadle both networks show that while they might be losing some shows (Saving Grace is in its final run) they will be gaining plenty of potential fan favorites. Here is a sampling of what you can expect from TNT. If you’re interested in TBS’ upcoming, potential lineup you can find that in the TBS Development Post.

TNT Programming Plans

Summer includes fan favorites The Closer, Saving Grace, Dark Blue, Leverage, Memphis Beat, Rizzoli & Isles, and HawthoRNe. Also returning, though later in the year, will be Men of a Certain Age.

In 2011, fans of TNT can expect to see a new season of Southland, but much more is on the horizon for this popular cable network. Big news comes for Steven Spielberg fans because the series Fallen Skies starring Noah Wylie will also appear in 2011. These shows will be in good company, as the network has announced that they will be joined with Franklin & Bash, which stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer.

This is not all the network is planning though. The following shows are currently in development with plans to potentially be released in the 2010/2011 season.

Untitled Don Cheadle Medical Show – This impending drama focus on 1971 Los Angeles, where a group of idealistic doctors open an urgent-care clinic in hopes of upholding the values that inspired them to become doctors in the first place.

Executive producers Don Cheadle (Crash, Iron Man 2), Kay Liberman (Traitor) and Lenore Zerman (Darfur Now) of Crescendo Productions; executive producer Brett King; executive producer/writer Ed Horowitz (Exit Wounds); and producer/writer Norm Solomon.

Miss Philly – In Miss Philly the pristine suburbs and urban war zones of Philadelphia are explored, where the mayor has hired the first African-American police commissioner. She finds herself handling more than she ever expected.
