From an interview with Horizon Media senior vice president of research Brad Adgate
Are there any pilots that are already receiving a far amount of buzz? Which ones look most promising for this fall?
I think "Missing," a drama on ABC with Ashley Judd, is about as close as a sure thing you can get for a pilot getting picked up. It’s about a former CIA agent (Judd) looking for her missing son in Italy.
I think "The River," a drama about a famous TV naturalist lost in the Amazon, could get picked up, it sounds a little like "Lost."
On CBS an unnamed drama from Susannah Grant about a doctor who gets advice from beyond the grave from his deceased wife is the type of show that has worked well in the past with the network.
"Person of Interest" from J.J. Abrams is about a former CIA operative turned detective, and it may also get ordered.
On The CW, "Awakening" is a series about a zombie uprising, and that genre has been popular on that network.
Besides "Terra Nova" and "X Factor," other shows that could be new on Fox in 2011-12 include "Exit Strategy," about CIA operatives looking to gracefully leave a botched operation.
The animated version of "Napoleon Dynamite" should have a cult following similar to the film.
On NBC, "Prime Suspect," based upon a British series about a female detective in a male-dominated precinct with Maria Bello, seems like it will get an order. Another one is "Smash," about putting together a Broadway musical with Debra Messing. It comes from Steven Spielberg. "Wonder Woman" has gotten a lot of buzz as well.
