I love this time of year. Upfronts and season finales in the same week is going to be fun and emotionally destroying all at once!
ReplyDeleteThat article has a typo in the ABC section. It mentions a companion for "ONCE" but doesn't specify which of the supernatural shows. Here's to hoping that it is 666 Park Ave.!
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I'm excited for upfronts this year? I predicted a massacre but now I'm thinking lots of low rated shows may be saved and used as Spackle. I like the idea of lots of shows being given shroter seasons and a more cable like approach to the line up.
ReplyDeletei guess Park. Gotham and Beauty are all eyed as Once companions and 1 or two of them will be picked up
ReplyDeleteyeah i think NBC and ABC are actually ordering LESS dramas than last year
ReplyDeleteStarting to hate ABC. Darn soap-channel that just sends out puke. Not going forward with Last Resrort by the looks of it.
ReplyDeleteyeah looks like UNTITLED ROLAND EMMERICH aka dark horse aka antichrist is the only male targeted drama still mentioned for ABC and as just a "maybe"
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Last Resort?
ReplyDeleteYeah, and that had one stupid script i would say. I would rather go for something from the great mind of Shawn Ryan than something from Emmerich. Last Resort had the potencial to hit more than just male viewers. It had some lovestorys in the makings, it had an actor from Glee!, and it had Scott Speedsman together with great actors like Robert Patrick and Andre Braugher.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is there not many interesting pilots to be picked up this year. The only ones that sound good to me are ARROW, ELEMENTARY, GOTHAM and GILDED LILYS
ReplyDeleteNot Mastermind? Kevin Williamson from The Vampire Diaries with a pilot about a masterminded serial-killer? Kevin Bacon? James Purefoy? Shawn Ashmore? Natalie Zea? Maggie Grace? Did i say Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy in the same show?
ReplyDeleteIf this article is right, the majority of interesting shows is getting tanked.
ReplyDeleteOnly Malins/Berlanti would be interesting, because Malins is a hilarious comedy writer.
I'd love to see Antichrist unfold but I don't think it's a project that will fly on broadcast TV. Seems like a boutique cable project to me.
ReplyDeleteA little more info on Revolution,better than last week..The Kevin Williamson show and a few others i'm hoping for,i'm sure it will change a few more times...
