Hey!

I thought some of you might be interested to see a list of all of the pilots that were picked up for the Fall TV season.


I am looking forward to seeing David Boreanaz in Bones and Amy Acker in The Unit... Though, to be honest I would rather they were in Angel.

Wow... Didn't Emeril teach us anything chefs and sitcoms? A chef does a shitload of hard drugs, works in shitty restaurants and does more drugs. What a great show.

Charlatan

That *could* work... it isn't close to Emril's load of stinky cheese... This one is produced by Darren (Sex and the City) Star... It also stars Nicholas (Xander Harris) Brendon... I'll watch an episode just to see if Brendon can do well at anything besides Xander...

I'm always intrigued by the fact that copy-cat series NEVER work out, but the damn networks keep trying.

On my personal early list for Fall failures:
* Any show that tries to copy "Lost"
* Any show that tries to copy "Medium"
* Any show that tries to copy "Desperate Housewives"

woah.. the original series is what inspired Chris Carter to do X-files.

That caught my eye as well. They've been playing re-runs of the old series on Sci Fi during the day. I've Tivo'd them, but haven't watched them.

Not a lot there that I could see, but there might be some diamonds in the rough worth watching.

I remember the original Night Stalker series - Stacey Keach was in it I think - scary show and so much scarier and better than the XFiles.

I don't know why those three shows are getting compared to Lost... they don't even resemble lost. Did someone else, besides TeeVee's reviewer make these connections?

To me they are following more in the ongoing tradition of the success of all things paranormal... The fact that both Fathom and Threshold are similar is not a surprise... this kind of thing happens all the time.

Add in:

Any show with Shannen Doherty (Love, Inc.)
Any show that has a bevy of beautiful women, and takes it self seriously (Pepper Dennis)
Any show that tries to copy a pay television hit's format (Sons & Daughters)
And 90% of the shows that don't end in ":XXX" (as in CSI:NY, L&O:SVU)

There are a couple that might make a second season. I think we should start a death pool on which series gets cancelled first.
