45 new TV shows that just got picked up by networks

It's out with the old and in with the new for network television.

The broadcast networks are unveiling their new series for the 2015-2016 seasons this week in an annual event called Upfronts.

At Upfronts, the networks present their fall schedules and upcoming new shows to advertisers in order to entice them to spend their commercial dollars.

This year's fleet of new shows have several name actors attached, including Rob Lowe, John Stamos, Neil Patrick Harris, and even Muppets.

There are also a few shows inspired by big screen flicks, such as Fox's "Minority Report" and ABC's "Uncle Buck" (this time with a black cast). And, of course, comics-inspired shows are still going strong with CBS's "Supergirl," The CW's "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" and Fox's "Lucifer" among this year's batch of new shows.
