ghost2NBC cancelled Medium (apparently over a dispute involving how many episodes they wanted to order for next season); CBS, which owns Medium and thus profits from DVD sales/syndication money, promptly picked the show up and will air it on Fridays following Ghost Whisperer. That's really a very compatible pairing of programs.
Cancelled: My Name is Earl (low ratings), Privileged (low ratings), Reaper (low ratings), Eleventh Hour (average ratings, and evidently CBS was not pleased with the creative direction of the show), Without a Trace (below-average ratings for a CBS show, expensive to produce), The Unit (below-average ratings for a CBS show, also relatively expensive). Earl is the only one of the lot that I think has much chance of moving to another network. It might not, though.
I'm most sad about Eleventh Hour, a show I liked, but I'm sure I'll like a bunch of the new shows, too.
Most of my favorites, like Amazing Race, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, and Gossip Girl, are safe. :) fall schedule, as it currently stands
Here's a handy page telling which shows have been renewed/cancelled. As I type, it hasn't yet been updated with the news about Medium going to CBS.
