NBC revealed a partial look at its fall plans, announcing the pickup of four dramas, two comedies and three renewals, while declining to unveil a fall schedule and leaving the fate of some key shows in limbo.

The network announced that next season's lineup will include two medical dramas -- "Trauma" and "Mercy" -- the one-hour dramedy "Parenthood," starring Peter Krause and Maura Tierney, and, for midseason, the apocalyptic series "Day One." On the comedy side, "100 Questions for Charlotte Payne" and Chevy Chase's "Community" received orders.

As for renewals, the John Wells-produced cop drama "Southland" and NBC-produced comedy "Parks and Recreation," starring Amy Poehler received 13-episode orders. Monday night's "Heroes" also received a pickup.

Patricia Arquette's "Medium" received a pickup Sunday morning, though its exact order was being worked out and expected to be in the 13-18 episode range. NBC also announced six new "Saturday Night Live" Weekend Update primetime specials, which performed strong in the fall when tied to the presidential election.

The network postponed the verdict for two of its remaining series, however -- the fan favorite sophomore "Chuck" and veteran "Law & Order." Both series appear likely to return, but the decision won't be made until later in the month. Also, no surprise saves for "Life," "My Name Is Earl" or "Howie Do It."

Previously announced series pickups include "The Office," "30 Rock," "The Biggest Loser," "The Celebrity Apprentice," "Law & Order: SVU," "Friday Night Lights," and new reality series "The Marriage Ref," "Breakthrough With Tony Robbins" and "Who Do You Think You Are?"

Motherf*****s is all I have to say to NBC.
