    Sounds great. Abrams is good, but Schwahn is a genious in my opinion.

    Wonder if this makes the other CW shows nervous?

    If this show goes through, it would be good paired with HART OF DIXIE

    Hmmm ... I really like JJ - can't wait to give it a go.  I have started watching more CW lately although I may actually violate some sort of age restriction as far as their concerned - can networks have a 10 year rule?

    would be nice though if CW takes up Fringe when it's cancelled, then do Supernatural and Fringe  one after another.

    It's easy to kick a man when he's down (Abrams ) and the weakest TV network too. (The CW )
    Well, I hope they both have a great success, whatever show comes  on the air!

    The possibility of that happening is pretty much nonexistent. However, it might be happening in another universe. :)

    I'm torn.... I mean I respect and trust JJ 100%, but anything that is OTH related isn't something I can take too seriously...

    This was an interesting prospect until I saw the OTH creator was involved.  Bummer.

    Interesting. I recall JJA did a relationship drama on ABC called six degrees that was decent, but short lived. It'll be interesting to see what they will be developing.

    Sounds like Pedowitz is moving in the right direction.  I mean the hotel can't just have pretty high school / college aged kids hanging around, right?

  35. Bruce_F8 December 2011 at 02:03

    This is The CW we're talking about.  I wouldn't put it past 'em to turn the hotel into a youth hostel.  :P

    The idea isn't all that bad, it depends what angle they're coming from.
    If they are going to use the hotel as a vehicle through which to tell maybe a different story every week about the guests who come to stay there, it might work.

    Then again, it might be a weird hotel like Hotel California, once entered--no leaving. :-)

    Just read that Mark Pellegrino is to guest-star on Castle.

    The CW should sign up Pellegrino and Mark A. Sheppard as the two leads stars in it's Hotel drama.
    Sure to be a hit! :-)

    JJ on the CW?  OK.  Mostly like hi programmes, so if he comes up with somethign good I'll watch it.

  41. David Nikiforov8 December 2011 at 14:41

    This man starts to get annoying... he has so many projects running at once... instead of making new and new stuff, focus on one thing - Fringe for example, which is fading fast with both quality and ratings. Oh, and I bet this new series will be a snoozefest. JJ - nice, OTH - wtf... what kind of combination is that?

    I don't know if i should be jumping for joy or go to my doctor for Paxil?

    If and i say if Fringe gets pulled from Fox maybe it could find a new home with welcoming arm?

    I would be so in for this.  In fact, anyone who has the brilliant foresight to lock Mark Sheppard in as a main character has my attention for at least 6 episodes.  3 more than my standard.

  46. Dahne9 December 2011 at 03:26

    Ha!  I'll be taking bets that there is a Spring Break episode during sweeps.

  47. Dahne9 December 2011 at 03:27

    I'm taking it as a Love Boat, the hotel version kind of thing.

  48. isleofskye9 December 2011 at 10:43

    Couldn't agree more!

    My theory has always been that if you get the right actors, then that series will be 99% sure of being a success, on the other hand if you have a potentially wonderful show on your hands, but you don't cast appealing lead actors then it will be sure to be a 99% flop.

    Pellegrino and Sheppard are packed with charisma and I'm sure would be great together in any show. :-)
