    What is that CW schedule going to look like? The Cult show will only do 13 episodes right? Is GG doing 13 too? Or are 2 new shows going to be a 13 episode order? Where will they fit in 6 new shows? I mean they could cancel every single bubble show expect GG. I am confused :-)

    I can never remember... Was "The Last Resort" once the pilot named "Dark Horse" or "Zero Hour"? And what happened to the other one?

    Too bad to hear that about Shelter, but then again I was only interested in it because Abrams was attached. Really happy to hear that Cult is supposedly a sure thing. Oh, and is ABC's Beauty and the Beast dead now too?

    Ha!  Every time one of these pilot update articles mentions The Selection, its chances of a series order seem to get slimmer.

    (side note:  No mention of ABC's Gotham again.  What the hell?)

    No they are not the same those are three different pilots
     dark horse according to deadline's last update had low expectations and exceeded them but not sure if that was enough for a pickup deadline gives the most detailed pilot reports but i guess we'll have to wait a few days  i havent heard anything on zero hour recently i assume its out. ABC's Beauty and the Beast had some issues so i dont know if its still in the running

    was that 'Table For Three'? I saw one report a week ago saying it was looking good for a pick up and another this week saying its dead. So no clue whats going on.

    The Variety article is the exact same thing from Deadline. I hope the Selection doesn't get green-lit.

    I like the tittle on the Kevin Williamson project with Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy, Mastermind. Catchy, kinda 90`s but i like it.

    Nothing about Revolution or Beautiful People? That's not a good sign. They were the 2 NBC pilots I was excited about. Then again, usually the ones I'm excited about turn out to be mediocre while ones I never even considered end up being must watches come fall.

    I'm glad Chicago Fire is in the top 2 for NBC dramas. I hope it's good.

  22. Folie-lex5 May 2012 at 03:51

    Why isn't anyone anywhere mentioning Revolution!?
    I mean I know yesterday someone reported they'd started staffing for it but other than that nada!!! And it's been that way pretty much throughout the whole pilot process!

    I think Gossip Girl is for certain only returning for a 13 episode final season given that it didn't get renewed along with 90210, TVD and SPN this past week. Also, Chace Crawford said so in a recent interview that next season is going to be a "13 episode sendoff"

    If you click on the Features Menu and then click the Pilot Watch 2012 you should see that we have details on most of the pilots.

    I actually hope The Selection gets picked up! It sounds really interesting and like something I would like to see.
