NBC Order Pilot - Beautiful People - Futuristic Drama

14 Nov 2011

Share on Reddit
NBC on Monday ordered the futuristic pilot Beautiful People, described as a "what if?" drama set 10 minutes into the future.

From executive producer Michael McDonald, the show focuses on families of mechanical people that exist to serve the human population — except, the robots begin to awaken.

McDonald, who appeared on Mad TV, was a consulting producer on Scrubs and directed episodes of Cougar Town. ABC Studios and Universal TV are producing what's touted as "low-tech, high drama."

    So it's like an I,Robot series?

    I have no idea what they are trying to say. Is it Caprica? 10 minutes into future? Low tech, about robots? What?

    I have a feeling this will either be brilliant or a complete disaster... no middle ground.

    On cable: interesting.
    On network TV: I don't want to invest on a cancelled show.

    I don't think this sounds good at all. Michael McDonald was entertaining on Madtv but I don't see him bringing us a series drama...much less set "10 minutes in the future"...WTF? this whole press release is weird to me.

    This just sounds awful, it's like they're trying to smash a million concepts into one. 
    If this gets picked up rather than the Abrams/Kirpe thing, which I'm slightly less skeptical of due to the pedigree, I'll understand why NBC is network number 4.

    I don't see it working,not on network tv,maybe on cable there they would be able to delve into the subject matter,on NBC it could never live up to its potential.

    NBC really.  Wish this would be on a cable channel.  Anything from the main channels just makes me squeamish.

    Low-tech high drama? 

    More like Low-success rate, high cancellation rate.

    The only way I'm gonna watch this is if Michael McDonald runs around screaming "Look what I can do..."

    I picture an NBC executive saying exactly that right before pulling the plug on the project.

    'Families of mechanical people.' FAMILIES. I don't even want to know what that means.

    10 minutes into the future... huh?  I am confused. The rest of the blurb makes it sound as if it could be quite interesting if done right.
