    This is just the networks so of course the really interesting stuff isnt here.

    To summarize: remakes are big as ever, as is updating literary classics to modern times and suernatural/sci fi/horror. Networks are getting more interested in history lately, even the kind that requires wigs and hoop skirts.

    Most interesting to me:

    Out of what you posted, I think what interests me the most is Gaslight. Sounds like it could be a potentially interesting concept.

    So... does anyone else get Electric City vibes from Gaslight?

    Sounds like more crap---so much for a renaissance.

    Yeah, it's the Tom Hanks animated thing. It's alright; it suffers from Last Resort pilot syndrome - stuffing a bit too much into its run time.

    That really was a long article. I saw some real potential there, though of course it's so hard to know anything about a show's future quality from just one sentence.

    I was particularly interested in The Gilded Age. I think it was just last year (maybe the year before, I can't quite remember) that I suggested in a thread just like this one that a historical drama based on the Gilded Age would be timely and interesting, and I was shot down. :lol: Hopefully this potential show has more success.

    There was a Gilded Age series in development last year on ABC I think, that was considered a strong contender but didn't quite make the cut. No sci fi/steampunk angle, just straight historical soap.
