May 3, 2013

Share on Reddit
It’s pilot screening week, with the networks’ executives huddled in rooms watching the fruits of their development teams’ labor. The networks are still going through the process, with testing results just starting to pour in, but here is the latest pilot buzz I’ve compiled from various sources around town.

    Is it me or were these reports more interesting last year? They pretty much all sound the same and we're just a week and a half away from the beginning of the upfronts.
    I wish Delirium was mentioned but FOX is probably not the right network for it. It should go to the CW or ABC Family imo.
    Reign is going to flop for the CW, I hope they don't pick it up.

    Next week we should be getting early pickups!
    NBC usually has its pilot orders fully done by the friday week before upfronts (May 10)

    Yes they tend to order series before the upfronts

    Hopefully Reign hasnt screened yet and drops when it does like the sixth gun just sunk on NBC after screening dropping from #1 nbc pilot in previous deadline updates
    I didnt like the script for the 100 personally and dont think it is on brand with the CW either
    For me Company Town and The 100 were the weakest 2 scripts, and Reign didnt feel like it fit CW

    Looking forward to Tomorrow People, and hoping that Big Thunder and I Am Victor gets picked up!

    Good. Most of the stuff I want to see is still in contention. Shows I'm pulling for:
    CBS
    Intelligence

    NBC
    Blacklist
    Believe
    The Sixth Gun
    (I was also interested in Bloodlines until they cast Chris Zylka in the pilot.)

    ABC
    SHIELD
    Gothica
    (I wouldn't mind taking a look at the pilots for Doubt and Influence either.)

    FOX
    The List
    Human
    (Out of curiosity, I'd like to see the Sleepy Hollow pilot as well.)

    The CW
    The Originals [already picked up]
    The Tomorrow People
    The 100
    Blink (apparently doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell)

    What happened to NBC's pilot Dracula? Is that still happening this fall? It sounded really good, up there in theme with Gothica.

    Dracula has a 10 episode order. They've started filming in Budapest but I don't think NBC has decided when they will air it. Somehow, I don't think it'll be on the fall schedule.

    I think it already has a series order.

    This year's pilot season has been soooooo weird...

  14. Folie-lexMay 3, 2013 at 9:31 PM

    Re Blink: I think with HoD on the schedule they still need a show like that, so I still think it might be a "maybe"....

    Where can you read the script for The 100?

  16. Cory SkeltonMay 3, 2013 at 10:40 PM

    The Returned sounds fantastic, like Babylon Fields from a few years back (and was an EFFING AWESOME pilot) and I'd like to see Gothica as well.


    On FOX, Sleepy Hollow please!

    It's like Hannibal this year and the pirates show, got picked up for a short season in one of NBC's deals before a pilot was made.

  18. omabinMay 4, 2013 at 4:09 PM

    I can't imagine the returned actually catching one. That is not to say that I personally wouldn't give it a try but I can't see it working on broadcast tv

    I think Crossbones (the pilot show) was originally intended for summer but somehow got moved to normal schedule, could be mistaken though

    I think it would be a very good fit with Grimm on Fridays.

  21. omabinMay 4, 2013 at 4:11 PM

    I think Hart of Dixie would do just fine after the selection IMO

    I'll still be there for the premiere. Some of the best shows are one season wonders for broadcast. Time is better spent watching a great show that will be canceled in two weeks than a mediocre and uninspired show that will be canceled in 10 years. :) Plus if it's midseason and they know how many episodes they have they could make the finale not be a huge cliffhanger.

    Well, I am not that much into that but I can see the logic behind it. For me it is quite the opposite, I can't get invested in a show that I know won't be around long enough for me to start get attached to the characters and the overall storyline. It is very rare for me to love a first season show right away, I typically start enjoying them more as they move towards the end of the season as I grow more used to it. That is just how I prefer my tv experience, but to each his own, for sure ;)

    I'm nervous for Delirium.

  25. Folie-lexMay 7, 2013 at 8:50 PM

    I don't think so... It might have with last year's version, but the route they're going with the re-tooling doesn't sound like it.


    Regardless, objectively speaking HoD needs a more of a Gilmore Girls/Everwood/Veronica Mars type companion.


    From all the pilots the CW had lined up the Sera Gamble one and Blink are the two that fit the bill. And with Blink having the whole "through the eyes of a silent watcher" thing going for it, it fits the best with the network's overall style.


    If Blink doesn't get picked up, I think TCD might get a second chance.
