2011-12 pilot buzz thread

Or Nikita. Is this a sign the CW is growing up?

Well there is a new boss at CW but it was said he would have a limited role in the make up of the Fall line-up. I expect Nikita to still be cancelled espcially after The Ringer has come over from CBS.
 
Google sucks for show info, too much random crap.

The Futon Critic gives you more targetted info but they need to update it faster. They still haven't updated the description of the show. It's a haunted house horror story show starring Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott with Evan Peters as a teenage psycho cult leader (???) and Jessica Lange as the noisy next door neighbor. They haven't announced when it will air, but this coming fall seems a good guess.
 
WOW! SMG's show is causing a fight! :rommie:

I hear ABC Studios, which co-produced the pilot for Ringer with CBS Studios, is pulling out, citing that it cannot produce a series for the economics of the CW. This is ironic, as CW's new president Mark Pedowitz is the former head of ABC Studios. Under him, ABC Studios produced the CW series Reaper.
Sooo...nobody checked with ABC first, huh?

The nerve! We don't make shows so we can reach two million 12 year old girls!!! :rommie:
 
Can't CBS studios just produce the show itself? Screw ABC studios! :lol:
 
well I think im all caught up, been a busy day.

The only network still playing things close to its chest would appear to be CBS. FOX, NBC & ABC all seem to be just about done.

I'm just amazed that nobody thought to check first. That's just a little bit rude! :rommie: There's a slight difference in economics (not to mention subject matter) in producing a show for CBS vs the CW!!!

The only network still playing things close to its chest would appear to be CBS.

They always do that, but they don't have much to pick up so they're boring anyway.
 
I was actually thinking earlier it was a pity Ringer wasn't in contention at the CW since it would have a much better chance of success there and... voila! :lol:
 
CBS can't even take one little risk. Seems like failure is not an option over there. I agree with their decision though. Ringer is a better fit on CW at least on paper. It would probably fail on CBS.

Persons of Interest is a no-brainer with such a high profile cast and producers.

Persons of Interest is their idea of a risk. :rommie: It's kinda sorta dark. Greyish, even!

Pilots that are still alive and twitching.

Exit Strategy is being retooled for midseason - needs more character - FOX is probably gloating that their "Seal Team 6" series will beat everyone else's anyway.

Locke & Key is being shopped around to basic and premium cable. Great - that's where it belongs!!! (Please skip skiffy tho. :p)

Was Touch picked up for midseason and I just didn't notice?

FOX will give Breaking In a try out on Tues night, with other comedies. My bet is that the ratings don't fall, thus proving that it does have its own following and wasn't coasting on Idol's coattails.
 
Well, so far, everything that I expected that would get canceled...got canceled. lol. Here's hoping that CBS will pick up Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods...

So far out of the new shows I'll probably check out Awake & Grimm on NBC. Once Upon A Time and the River on ABC. Alcatraz and Terra Nova on FOX and Persons of Interest on CBS. Hell on Wheels (AMC) whenever it appears & Falling Skies (TNT) this summer. Maybe American Horror too.

It seems like CBS hasn't announced too much yet though. I wonder if they'll have anymore interesting shows.
 
It looks like NBC wants to hold Smash back to midseason so it can partner up with The Voice, it would make sense since Smash should do well paired with the reality hit. However that means come midseason they could come in to completely take over a night meaning a lot of moving around shows in January. I assume Voice with become a Tuesday show to avoid Idol so I guess they could just make The Biggest Loser a fall show only.
 
NBC will have a pretty full scheulde, they seem to have comissioned plenty for mid-season.

They probably expect to flop in the fall :lol: From what I hear though NBC seem very confident in their midseason lineup despite the fact come late March you begin to feel the effect auduence erosion that is getting bigger every year.
 
NBC's new pilots are such a break with recent seasons (full of exciting ideas instead of boring ones, what a concept!) that all bets are off how they do this fall.

I suspect Comcast will throw bargefulls of money at marketing the new shows and give NBC a decent shot at actually fulfilling their brand-resurrection that they are attempting.

I think Comcast might have to wait 12 months to see real change in the ratings but this season could shape up to help the network rebuild its image somewhat.
