    Anyone read the comic Rest? Dumb name. I like your ideas Temis. And you're right that SAND was better when it was SAND Men.

    I hope it's not a straight up reboot and they bring in someone like Jaclyn Smith or Cheryl Ladd reprising their original roles.

    I wonder if it's related to the movies. Drew Barrymore is one of the producers on the new Charlie's Angels. I also heard that Bosley is supposed to be a hot young guy in this version.

    With Fuller in charge (and probably writing some episodes), it should be ALOT better than the orignal Munsters. Fuller hasn't created a bad show yet imo. Of course, I guess this could always be his first bad show, but I doubt it. Munsters is an odd concept and Fuller likes to write odd projects. I hope this gets picked up.

    I read an issue of Rest. I think it was the first issue at a cheaper price. I wasn't impressed with it. Maybe the comic got better? I don't know. I guess time will tell if the show is any good (if it gets picked up).

    Not the first time this concept has been tackled as a TV show. Anybody else remember Sleepwalkers? It was a short lived show on NBC. It was about a group of people that entered people's dreams to tackle their nightmares. I think Bruce Greenwood was the star. It wasn't a bad show (didn't last long though). I believe it aired during the time NBC was actually putting new shows on Saturday night. I miss Saturday night programing. Now its just a dead zone for TV. lol.

    Oh and Charlie's Angels. *shivers* Then again, Hawaii Five-0 turned out well so maybe Charlie's Angels will? Then again...Drew Barrymore is invovled with the show and she was invovled with those bad Charlie's Angels movies...*shivers*

    Anyway, here's hoping for at least a couple of new cool shows next season.

    He was indeed. Naomi Watts, prior to her breaking out as a movie star, was also in the cast.

    Edit to add: The CW has bought a pilot script for a zombie series. From Deadline Hollywood:

    As for the new Charlie's Angels, according to a review of the pilot script the characters are new rather than recast versions of any prior ones and the tone isn't as campy and OTT as the movies.

    I saw that "zombies for girls" story, good gort! :rommie: How are they going to contrive a tragic love triangle from zombies, which, face it, are kind of oogie? Maybe the zombies can sparkle.

    EDIT: Lots of news today. I see the Sorkin/HBO news has its own thread. That show doesn't interest me particularly.

    This sounds interesting:

    Brothers Grimm fantasy cop show.

    EDIT PART TWO:

    Someone gave Greg Grunberg his own show? :wtf:

    They're serious about that Dallas remake.

    Jordana Brewster is playing a major character:

    ABC orders pilots from Marc Cherry, 'Lost' scribes. And look! Another project with an expletive in the title

    Marc Cherry:

    Lost writers, Kitsis and Horowitz:

    Mike Kelley:

    dreamWorks:

    John Glenn:
    Robert Harling with Darren Star attached as an exec producer:

    The title in bold will cause quite a stir if it goes to series.

    That a supernatural medical show on CBS might be better than it sounds - the pilot at least will be directed by Jonathan Demme.

    Also: Some kind of sex & politics show.

    John Ross Ewing, all growed up and starring in Dallas: The Next Generation.

    Good looking guy but I'm trying to boycott all TV remakes.

    Plus: Zombie lawyer show on the CW. I wish I could say I was kidding about that one. :D

    I'll definitely be watching that one. I'm curious to learn more about the legal implications of a zombie outbreak.

    The CW seems to be on a supernatural law show kick:

    Gak. Give me the zombies.

    I read that in the Charlie's Angels reboot that the Angels will be ex-cons instead of ex-cops. It's supposed to be a more serious take on it than those crappy films.

    It will still most likely suck.

    Odds are it will. Most tv shows suck which is why so many new shows each season are canceled. Good shows are very rare.

    Sounds like shit, but if it's filmed in DC, I might give it a little bit of credit. A show about DC could have potential to not suck, but this reminds me of shows like "The Deep End" that always tend to flop.

    And shows I consider good even rarer still. :)

    Playboy seems to be getting buzz as the new Mad Men. That would be quite a step up for NBC.

    Yeah pretty much. Still a step up for NBC. :rommie: But it won't be very sexy on broadcast TV. Why are they bothering?
