It’s that time of year again as fall TV looks ahead to the mid-season, but what marks 2014 as different than many other years is the number of shows earning full-season orders from the major US nets. And what’s good news for actors looking to book gigs through winter is good news for Canadian broadcasters too, who aren’t left with holes to fill as skittish US nets cut and run on lower-performing series.

Here’s a recap of this week’s network news:

City:
