Wait, Crisis is the one with Gillian Anderson, right?
ReplyDeleteYup.
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteBelieve also ordered
ReplyDeleteYup. Gonna be awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow, both of these sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteAbout A Boy might be interesting the film/book was enjoyable if not amazing. I am more interested in the other JJ Show Almost Human but will of course give Believe a chance. Not really feeling Crisis but who knows.
ReplyDeletewhats crisis about i cant find it anywhere ?
ReplyDeleteWoo! I love the film About a Boy, I hope the TV series is good too. And Believe!
ReplyDeleteJason Katims worte About A Boy, so that ended up on my must watch-pilot list. Katims did both Friday Night Lights and Parenthood (Specially this season) great.
ReplyDeleteCrisis and Believe sound pretty good, I love conspiracy thrillers and fantasy stories, but if About a Boy prevents Go On and Community from getting another season, I'll punch the next peacock I see.
ReplyDeleteOMG YES,i do Believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man this made my week! Another snoopy happy dance!
ReplyDelete"The project follows Marcus Finley a Secret Service agent pulled into an international crisis on his first day of work after the President’s son and countless classmates are kidnapped" http://tvline.com/2013/03/13/untitled-rand-ravitch-pilot-nbc-dermot-mulroney/
ReplyDeleteHere you go http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbc-series-orders-crisis-519604
ReplyDelete*Patiently waits for Blacklist and I Am Victor to be ordered to series*
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have to go to class now. Please let nothing important happen in the next 75 minutes.
ReplyDeleteSean Saves the World!
ReplyDeleteEven though multi camera Better Off Ted is one of my all time favorite comedies.
ReplyDeleteFamily Guide picked u
ReplyDeleteBelieve I am very happy about. Crisis does sound good but I am not sure about its capability to success.
ReplyDeleteThanks Klutzy, I'll keep an eye on things ;)
ReplyDelete2ND UPDATE: Joining the group of newly picked up NBC series is DJ Nash comedy Family Guide.
ReplyDeleteBelieve sounds like it might be worth a look.
ReplyDeleteYES!!! 4 Bad Robot shows (and 3 sister shows) on in ONE YEAR!!! Holy smoke-monster!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd can't wait to see what Alfonso Cuaron films in that Believe Pilot!!!
Well for all the shows that are ending at least there seems to be a lot starting! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling incredibly lucky to have both shows I really wanted green-lighted!

Ha! I had been checking for "Believe" all morning and then I go outside and come back and see that it's been announced for at least an hour already!!! :D
ReplyDeleteYay for Crisis and Believe.
ReplyDeleteNot surprised by any of these, all looked good on paper and had been front runners for a while. Nice choices NBC.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And it seems like nothing important did happen so yay! But the fact that NBC hasn't renewed/cancelled anything is driving me nuts.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Last night I had the "Create Post" window open and closed it when it didn't seem like Fox was going to pick up any more shows. Lo and behold, guess what happens about ten minutes later?
ReplyDeleteGosh,somehow it seems apropos having Faraday with us,ha! love it! ;)
ReplyDeletethanks guys :)
ReplyDeleteYour welcome! ;)
