    I know it's not fair to judge by a title but "Sherwood" bugs me, it's just so blatant (not quite the right word but you get the idea). It's like a show about space knights called "Camelot" or something. It's hard to picture a good show attached to it.

    Nah, a new Firefly could only be a disappointment better to leave it as a special little nugget out there and create a spiritual successor.

    Me & Lee, possibly ABC, not sure.

    Human Relations its possible ive just heard about it before, but it could have been NBC or FOX

    It's a variation on half the episodes ever made of the Twilight Zone.

    If i'll watch warehouse 13, then I'll probably watch anything.

    Hunh. God help me I might actually watch some of these. Or see the cheap pilot and then quit, anyway.

    Orion might be ok if the Howard McCain attached to it is the one who wrote and directed Outlander. Vikings vs. Aliens, that movie kicked ass.

    Orion is space opera, so I'll give it a chance. The only entry in that genre at the moment is Stargate Universe--and it's pretty awful. And yet I still watch it.

    Legendary might be amusing if it adopts the tongue in cheek mocking of, say, My Name is Bruce.

    The superhero break-up series sounds awful, though. It sounds like the premise of a movie (and not a very good one), not a continuing series.

    I'd rather see Claudia Black at any age that Sackhoff at her "peak".

    saw her on NCIS as a Biker bartender earlier this year.

    The American accent was toxic.

    Her arms were so thin.

    Didn't like the tattoos either, but I assume that they were not real.

    "Old" (relatively speaking.) people think they have to be thin to look young.

    I was reviewing some Brisco County Jr last night and The Blonde Mommy (Lilly/Dixie) from Gossip girl looks a lot better with filled out cheeks and some badonkadonk.

    All of the shows will be craptastic like only Syfy can do. The budgets will be extremely low. I like Kevin Sorbo and Lee Majors, but those won't last as a series.

    Ball and Chain, Orion, and Zeroes all sounded pretty cool to me. Of course it comes down to execution, but they got potential. The rest of them, its more sketchier.

    A new Firefly would not be able to get many of its cast members back. Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau, Morena Baccarin and Adam Baldwin all have new shows. Jewel Staite probably has some show I haven't paid attention to. Adam Tudyk is always getting cast in pilots and will be snapped up soon if he already hasn't been.

    Would Browncoats be happy with a largely recast reboot?

    Sure, why not. Mal sells the ship to his cousin Hal, who puts together his own group of somewhat familiar crewmen/passengers. ;) Let the knock off casting speculation begin!!!!! :lol:

    Yep, I believe the pilot even aired in the UK, but it's still made no appearance here.

    Zeros's is the only show that even sounds interesting to me.

    I can safely say I won't be watching any of that garbage.

    It really isn't going to be long before all I've got left to watch is WWE and football, is it ?

    Well at least you won't have to change the channel for WWE.

    I am willing to give Orion and Sherwood a chance. Hopefully at least one of the two will be decent. Of course I still would rather have SyFy greenlight Revolution.
