Thanks to Laurence for the heads up.
Well, the Delores&Jermaine pilot didn't get picked up, but I'm so damn proud of how funny it came out. Thanks ABC. Off to cable now.

Pilot Shows Thanks to Laurence for the heads up.
The ABC pickups (and passes) has begun!
ReplyDeleteCome on Kingmakers! Make it!
But,Whoopi Goldberg. :(
ReplyDeleteI thought she would have been enough star power to get picked, but it seems the show lost steam as it went. Sad :/
ReplyDeleteWasn't this one of the more "buzzier" ABC comedy pilots?
ReplyDeleteWow this is early.
ReplyDeleteSame. I seriously thought it was going to be picked up because of her.
ReplyDeletePraying for The Advocate, Boom & Kingmakers
ReplyDeleteI don't really care for comedies pilots
At early stages, but then I stopped reading about it on the pilot buzz articles, so it seems it lost steam on the way
ReplyDeleteYes. Exactly what I thought..
ReplyDeleteI assume production cost went into the descision as well.
ReplyDeleteGah! I have to go to class, but I don't want to miss pickups and renewals today :/
ReplyDeleteOh well, I have no choice, education comes first I guess -_-
Yep, I have watched some old WLIIA and and really like the episodes she has been in.
ReplyDeleteThey are trying to hard every year. They had a solid year and should've backed down with the pilots.
ReplyDeleteABC renewals should be coming pretty late tonight (US time).
ReplyDeleteI hope! I don't want to miss the action xD
ReplyDeleteThis makes me wonder what ABC is planning with Multi-Cam shows next year! The only other one that had any real buzz has been Uncle Buck? If they don't go with that maybe they might give Cristela another go! i guess we are days away from finding out.
ReplyDeleteI just finished my classes. ^_^
ReplyDeleteBut missed Supergirl and iZombie pick up due to sleep
I am sick today so i have no classes
ReplyDeletei hope nothing makes it so Forever can stay!
ReplyDeleteKingmakers, you need to make it! It you do, I will have a happy dance
ReplyDeleteWe should be getting ABC pick ups tonight too, if the follow the tradition from last year
ReplyDeleteForever is done, regardless.
ReplyDeleteShe's great, I grew up watching her, i absolutely love "sister act" she was fantastic in it.
ReplyDelete"sick", riiiighhht. Lol
ReplyDeleteI hope you are right
ReplyDeleteI need at least 2 of my Top 3 on ABC to make it
The Advocate, Boom or Kingmakers
Boom sounds pretty boring to me.
ReplyDeleteI really hope they can come sooner, it least around the time Supergirl was ordered so i can b here
ReplyDeleteIt sounded good to me at first but i really like the whole cast so that makes a huge difference for me
ReplyDeleteI Need kingmakers to replace revenge even though i highly doubt it will be anywhere near as good as revenge. There cannot be a second Victoria and Emily
ReplyDeleteCome Kingmakers!!! You need to be picked up!
ReplyDeleteI am going to be "sick" tomorrow.
ReplyDeletei hope so! i hate that they say nothing all year and then splurge it all at us at once. I guess in a way it is good for them that way it is harder for people to be upset about the cancellations wedged between all the renewals.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the time it was released last year? I want to calculate it in my time so i can know whether i will sleep already
ReplyDelete😀👍
ReplyDeleteCan't see what you say in that comment, sorry.
ReplyDeleteI believe Kristin Bauer Van Strate will create iconic character as well
ReplyDeleteThe next few days are going to be fun.
ReplyDeleteJap👍 if revenge had not been cancelled yet, it would be even worse
ReplyDeleteI just put a smiley face there
ReplyDeleteThis is not related to this pilot but i have a question about other pilot.
ReplyDeleteDon't you think The Advocate would be amazing fit with Shonda's dramas on schedule?
It is about strong Woman (similar to all Shonda's show) who is an advocate (HTGAWM similar) and she fights crimes about modern medicine (GA similar)
So assuming if Shonda has 4 shows in Fall, they will have to divide them anyway ... so do you think GA-HTGAWM-The Advocate could work on Thursday night?
Wow I'm surprised. Either good news for Dr.Ken, or ABC wants to try single cams there. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteUgh that was terrible when I slept through the Middle-renewed-after-everything-else fiasco. I'm not missin the action this year!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is neither, is Uncle Buck!
ReplyDeleteI wonder when we will get CBS
ReplyDeleteI remember that the renewals happened when I was watching Black Box. So for my time in Texas that was around 9.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it would be picked up I mean it started losing Intrest and ppl were talking less about it
ReplyDeleteHaha i keep refreshing the home page to see what shows have been renewed and cancelled :D.. i hope Dr ken gets picked up.
ReplyDelete:(
ReplyDeleteCome on, Kingmakers.
HTGAWM only has 15 episodes. Assuming either The Catch or the Jenna Bans project are picked up, I guess the show that is picked up will take over HTGAWM's place. I believe both will suit the Thursday line-up better than something like American Crime. It's possible both pilots are ordered to series and in that case, I don't know what ABC is gonna do.
ReplyDeleteI expect The Catch to get fall spot. It seems like it is getting most buzz so i think ABC will want to put in on schedule immediately
ReplyDeleteThat's possible. Maybe Wednesday at 10? Nashville needs to go to Sundays or Fridays.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that they could split Shonda's show in 2 and 2. For example GA+HTGAWM+New show on Thursday and maybe OUAT+Scandal+The Catch on Sunday? Both new shows (The Catch + Thursday show) could benefit from strong lead ins
ReplyDeleteI doubt ABC will mess with their most succesful Thursday line-up in years. HTGAWM is a freshman that has had a long break when it returns so moving it (albeit just one hour earlier) seems risky. And Scandal to Sundays? It might fix something, but Scandal is one of their highest rated shows.
ReplyDeleteEither way i am curious to see how will they schedule Shonda's 4 shows. If she didn't have new show Thursdays would stay the same without doubt, but it will be interesting how will he divide 4 shows
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! We will know in a couple of days.
ReplyDeleteBTW what are your most anticipated ABC's drama pilots?
ReplyDeleteBoom, Quantico and Untitled Jenna Bans. The last one seems a likely candidate, but sadly Boom and Quentico don't have a lot of buzz. If ordered to series, I might check out The Catch, Kingmakers and L.A. Crime. What are yours?
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 are : 1. The Advocate, 2. Boom, 3. Kingmakers, 4. The Catch, 5. Quantico
ReplyDeleteSadly only The Catch seems to have a lot of buzz so i am very nervous about their pick-ups. Hopefully at least 3 of them can make it
The Advocate sounds decent, but again there is not a lot of buzz.
ReplyDeletethey should announce their pick-ups today right?
ReplyDeleteI am really nervous about ABC + Cheerleader Death Squad + Curse of Fuentes Women
IKR me too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a shocker. I thought this would be the first multi-cam to get picked up for the Fall and paired with Last Man Standing. I wonder what happen with it. Wasn't it testing well? I guess with can expect to see Dr. Ken or maybe Uncle Buck is coming on strong.
ReplyDeleteMike Epps in Uncle Buck will be a great addition to the ABC comedy lineup if picked up. It also has the talented and lovely Nia Long.
ReplyDeleteWhere would a show such as Wicked City (AKA LA Crime) fit on the ABC schedule?
ReplyDeleteI just checked, and last year ABC's renewals and cancelleations came on Thursday May 8, so yeah, I suppose they should announce something today. CW and NBC also picked up new series on May 8, while CBS did so on May 9.
ReplyDeleteMost of my shows are already renewed or are clear renewals/cancellations so my main priority are pick-ups of new shows
ReplyDeleteI would be extremely disappointed if both Boom and Quantico were not picked up. They seem to be favoring Runner which isn't even an ABC studios production. Also both Original Sin and Smoke & Mirrors all seem similar in genre to Runner.
ReplyDeleteWicked City? Is that what it's called now?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, LA Crime is an anthology series and I think it's likely to have shorter seasons. It could alternate with Secrets and Lies' spot with one for fall and one for midseason. It could also take over Mondays at 10 pm with Castle moving elsewhere (or Castle gets a short final season and LA Crime takes over the spot after that). I personally have a gut feeling LA Crime will be held for midseason, at which point it could land anywhere on the schedule.
I read Curse of Fuentes Women has a solid shot. It is coming on strong. But if picked up, where would NBC schedule it? It doesn't seem to fit with any other shows on their slate. I guess it could go to Friday, where it most likely will fail.
ReplyDeleteThere will never be another Victoria and Emily rivalry. The two off them played so well together and created iconic, unforgettable enemies.
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too. Not very interested in Runner, I would much rather have Boom and Quantico.
ReplyDeleteWow I thought it was a lock from the comedy side
ReplyDeleteI really want Quantico to be picked so bad from ABC and the muppets
ABC needs something or the male demographics. And I love Boom's setting being a modern day “Wild West". The premise about towns folks coming to this place to make something of themselves but having to go against roughnecks, grifters, oil barons and criminals fascinated me.
ReplyDeleteYes, supposedly it is now called Wicked City. And I love that better. It evokes a sense of danger. It makes the show sounds as if it will be more evil and dark.
ReplyDeleteScandal/HTGAWM won't move... possibly GA but not sure if they want to risk having death slot Thursday's at 8 again
ReplyDeleteI would love The Muppets for the Fall but I think it will be held for midseason. Most likely it will replace OUAT during its hiatus.
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone heard anything about The King of 7B? I'm reading that the NBA comedy Warriors is high on the list of pickups.
ReplyDeleteIt is. Nba is the biggest favorite together with the Muppets show. Chevy and Bev coming next. Then a bunch on a tie like Dr Ken and the real O'Neals has been gaining heat. Little heat to 7B sorry.
ReplyDeleteI wish it would go to Tuesday after the Middle for a family friendly day.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Being a modern day Wild West is what has me excited for this show.
ReplyDeleteSo are new show pickups today I thought we had another week.So nervous
ReplyDeleteThe cw pickups are also going to be very interesting they literally renewed everything so the new shows pickups will be unpredictable
That's horribly I really don't want it to get the galavant treatment :(
ReplyDeleteThanks I guess Family Fortune has fallen by the wayside. I heard The Real O'Neals is going to be controversial. If picked up, it would be cool if it lead into When We Rise.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great option. And then they could just move Fresh Off The Boat behind The Goldbergs.
ReplyDeleteCome on kingmakers!!
ReplyDeleteFriday or Saturday, per deadline.
ReplyDeleteCool, thanks
ReplyDeleteNBA comedy is now titled Golden State, BTW.
ReplyDeleteTrembling for AOS that one is the one that matters to me since OUAT is sure,
ReplyDeletewhat???
ReplyDeleteI forgot this. Family Fortune is still a contender! It began as more of a favorite than exactly because of the controversy, but TRO gained more steam at the end.
ReplyDeleteNot really shocked by this...
ReplyDeleteYes please we need kingmakers.
ReplyDeletejust comedy right? don't care for it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I think The Goldbergs to Tuesday would have made much more sense if they didn't start it off on Tuesdays. The Middle leading into The Muppets probably wouldn't work imo
ReplyDeleteWhenever I refresh the site I'm afraid to read that ABC may have passed on it, I really want to see it become a series!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, ABC is making an AoS spin off, they won't launch it without the mother series. It will see at least 4 seasons
ReplyDeleteI know its my most anticipated abc show followed by quantico (also not looking good) the catch and shield spinoff.
ReplyDeletethanks. let's hope OUAT S5 has no cliffhanger too because S6 isn't sure.
ReplyDelete
