Thanks to spartigus15 for the heads up.

Think of this one as I, Robot for the small screen. Families of mechanical humans are created to service the population. What happens when these creations become self-aware and start thinking on their own? Michael McDonald of Cougar Town fame will serve as the writer and executive producer of this new drama.

The Sarah Silverman Project – Comedy

Following the success of Whitney Cummings’ Whitney, NBC is going back to the well to give fellow comedian Sarah Silverman is getting her own show. The ultitled project will feature Silverman’s character returning to her old life after breaking up with her boyfriend. Doing so will be easier said than done given that most of her old friends have moved on. Silverman will serve as Executive Producer along with Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind), Brian Grazer (Frost/Nixon).

Isabel – Comedy

A laugher about a middle-class family that has a daughter with magical qualities.

    Not a one sounds interesting to me. At least not from the 2 sentence synopses...

    I'll check out The Munsters, Beautiful People, and maybe Isabel (depending on what exactly "magical qualities" portends) if they make it to series. The other two don't seem the least bit interesting to me.

    I am interested in The Munsters.

    Hmmm, Munsters - seems like you should leave a classic alone (especially a campy comedy), but the Fuller/Singer teamup sounds intriguing. Isabel sounds like a Disney/ABC family type project to me, Beautiful People sounds like it might be funny for a movie not a series, and the Sarah Silverman project sounds like it might actually work with her material and that production team - can't be any worse than Whitney.

    not a very interesting lineup... NBC has no original ideas left in them.

    The Munster reboot will be the first show to get cancelled. What is with Hollywood, they can't write anything original anymore. The reboot will be pathetic.

    Why? Just watch the original the remake will tank. Why anyone would want to remake this show is insane,they are just going to find out that it will fail

    If these are the five projects they're starting with, NBC had better lock down some additional pilot orders.  Quickly.  These are all terrible.

    Really?  It seemed like Wizards of Waverly Place to me.

    Whitney is a success?

    Whitney is considered a success?  I thought they might be losing their minds.  Ah well, if Community gets bumped for any of these, then that's it for me and watching NBC.

    "Following the success of Whitney Cummings’ Whitney..."Are they delusional?

    Well, you can't really judge it and say it seems like WoWP from that one or two sentences. Like, what magical qualities does she posses? Is she a witch? We'd have to find out!

  17. Bruce_FJanuary 8, 2012 at 8:50 PM

    LOL.  You go ahead and find out.  I'll take a pass.  :)

    Sarah Silverman already had a show. It  was pretty gross.

    Interested in The Munsters (because of Bryan Fuller) and Isabel (because of magic? obviosly)

    LOL, understandable.

    Whitney is terrible, can someone at NBC please try and watch an episode of it! Isabel sounds like Bewitched. Is this all they're developing? So which show is replacing Community? (I hope it doesn't happen).

  22. GregoryJanuary 8, 2012 at 9:32 PM

    No, I've seen bits of it on NBC Thursdays after Community / P & R / The Office, and it's one of the most agonizingly terrible sitcoms I've ever seen.  It's gotten horrible reviews from critics, has a 4.6/10 rating on IMDB, and is already dipping below 4 million viewers.

    Calling it a "success" is a complete joke on NBC's part.

    thats what i figured, ive only heard bad reviews but NBC wants to live in a fantasy let them.

    I have to believe that it's a respectable remake. If anything, it might be like The Addams' Family.

    I'll probably watch the Munsters remake and the Beautiful People show. I don't know about the title of "Beautiful People" though. The name sounds like a soap opera of sorts. I liked iRobot though so I'll probably tune in. I'll have to wait and watch for previews on the other 3 comedies.

    The title of the 5th one seems apt for all of them...

  28. Wilson CrawfordJanuary 8, 2012 at 10:36 PM

    At a certain point, the synopsis of "Save Me" literally stops making sense. 
    Go NBC.

  29. Wilson CrawfordJanuary 8, 2012 at 10:42 PM

    Obviously you're not sold on the remake. I'm not that interested in it myself, but that doesn't mean that people aren't allowed to be interested in a new version of The Munsters. It just so happens that it's being backed by a great team led by none other than Bryan Fuller, who is known for very strange, quirky and intelligent television shows.

    HA!

    I know right? I assume it's supposed to read "becomes the best version of herself". However, how much that makes it sound more appealing is still up for debate!

  31. Wilson CrawfordJanuary 8, 2012 at 10:44 PM

    Yeah I remember that. I only enjoy her in small doses.
    She was great on the Good Wife. It's was funny for her to be all "yeah I don't care that my husband slept with other women..." and Alicia was like "WTF..."

    And I'm pretty sure this is the show Marcia Gay Harden is starring at...

    Nothing sounds interesting and the fact that one of them is a remake really annoys me. Didn't they learn with Charlie's Angels, The Bionic Woman and countless others...? Stop remaking tv shows and movies and think of new ideas for once...

    ugh these all sound awful. and I find sarah silverman even less likeable than her sister, or whitney cummings for that matter. Well, guess I won't be watching much on NBC next year.
