The Television Critics Association meets with producers in Pasadena to get a preview of the year ahead. Some of the events ahead: Al Jazeera's takeover of Current TV and Jimmy Kimmel's move to the 11:35 slot, putting him up against late-night kings Leno and Letterman.

Starting today in Pasadena, hundreds of television critics, bloggers and the like will gather here in Pasadena for an annual meeting of the Television Critics Association.

It's a time for network executives to try and generate buzz about new shows and existing shows which are being revamped. This year's meeting comes on the heels of a particularly rough fall season. Most of the major broadcast networks and many cable networks have seen notable audience declines.
