Barbara Walters’s announced retirement is a reminder that her long career mirrors the trajectory of television: as more and more viewers abandon broadcast TV, so does she.

NBC and Fox are the first of the big broadcast networks to present their coming schedules.

The Fox network said on Monday that it was bringing back “24,” the counterterrorism drama, as a 12-episode series next year, and that Kiefer Sutherland will return in the role of Jack Bauer.

Kiefer Sutherland will return to the anti-terrorism drama in the title role of Jack Bauer, a secret agent who will stop at nothing to halt attacks.
| |
Among the stars of the network’s new comedies are Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher. Other new entries include an animated show, a reality show and an “event series.”
| |
The broadcast networks are preparing to unveil new fall lineups for an audience that is shrinking rapidly, lured away by new rivals on all sides.
| |
Some of the most popular new series from a year ago declined in the ratings in their second seasons.
| |

| |
The network announced an aggressive new schedule on Sunday, crowded with new shows and familiar names.

Seth Meyers, the longtime head writer on “Saturday Night Live,” will follow Jimmy Fallon, who is to take over NBC’s “Tonight Show.”
| |
The quirky comedy “Community” seemed to find new legs late this season, but for “Smash” and “The New Normal” the race is over.
| |
True to form for the network, many of the shows are aimed at women, and two have ties to ABC’s parent, the Walt Disney Company.
| |
There also will be two new dramas; among the actors involved are Robin Williams, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Toni Collette.
| |
The show was meant to be a showpiece for the anchor Brian Williams, but it moved around the schedule and had a hard time finding an audience.
| |
Among those returning to the network are Sean Hayes of “Will and Grace” and the creator of “Parenthood.” Also, the network will bring back “Parks and Recreation.”

Over the past few years, VITRO’s work for ASICS has been consistently high-quality, doing a remarkable job of depicting products’ ability to allow athletes achieve the impossible but not quite the unbelievable. I’m talking, of course, of popular spots that feature athletes out-running arrows and kind of walking on water, which I would link here but I know you’ve seen them hundreds of times already.
Because of this history, a new spot, “What’s Next” is a bit surprising. There’s nothing superhuman or jaw-dropping here. Just some good ol’ fashioned working out. In a note from VITRO, they mention that the spot was “shot in three days, in two countries, 4 parks, 3 gyms and an Italian restaurant, using 3 Olympians (Bryan Clay, Andy Potts & Ms. Lolo Jones) 12 elite US athletes in all — a hurdler, shot putter, javeliner, golfer, tennis star, triathlete, decathlete, pole vaulter, and track star. Cool Stuff: Our creative director wrote the lyrics for the song which provides the backbone of the piece.” Even more cool stuff: “Javeliner” is apparently a word. Try to use it in a sentence sometime this weekend!
While “What’s Next” certainly looks beautiful, and is very well directed (by some dude named “Xander”), it doesn’t exactly employ an execution brand new to the area of sports apparel. Perhaps as a results of heavy marketing, ASICS feels it doesn’t need to be different to stand out, having gained that brand recognition of the last few years. In short: It’s great, but not the groundbreaking work we’ve come to expect. Credits after the jump.
