May 11, 201213 yr NBC have given a six episode midseason order to Next Caller, single cam comedy about a grumpy, misogynist radio talk show host whose new co-host is a woman.
May 11, 201213 yr 'Arrow', 'Cult', 'The Carrie Diaries', 'First Cut' & 'Beauty and the Beast' all picked up by The CW. 'The Selection' for 6th & final pickup please.
May 11, 201213 yr To be honest I'm only excited for Cult and The Carrie Diaries personally but I do think that's a great selection they've got there. There has to be at least three 1.0+ demo dramas in that bunch.
May 11, 201213 yr Author Yeah it does sound like a Revenge rip. Meagan Good is an interesting leading lady though. Any chance of a round up of the pickups so far being edited into the first post? Any chance you could collate it an I'll edit it in. Can't believe how much stuff happened in 36 hours.
May 11, 201213 yr ABC Mistresses NBC comedies (complete) 1600 Penn Animal Practice Go On Guys With Kids New Normal Next Caller Save Me NBC dramas (complete) Chicago Fire Do No Harm Hannibal (midseason) Infamous Revolution FOX comedies (complete) Ben & Kate The Goodwin Games It's Messy FOX dramas The Following (15 eps) Mob Doctor CBS TBC. CW dramas Arrow Beauty & the Beast The Carrie Diaries Cult First Cut I think that's it. Edited May 11, 201213 yr by ☜★☞
May 11, 201213 yr Author Cheers! Glad to see Mistresses got picked up because it has Alyssa Milano in it.
May 11, 201213 yr I got the NBC list a bit mixed up, it's actually Hannibal which has a midseason pickup, not Mockingbird Lane (which probably won't go to series).
May 11, 201213 yr Author More ABC pick ups: Comeback Jack, The Neighbors, Nashville, Red Widow and Zero Hour.
May 11, 201213 yr And indeed the comedy How To Live With Your Parents. I'm proper excited for Red Widow. Sounds like the kind of thing ABC does best.
May 12, 201213 yr Family Tools IS Comeback Jack, Phil :D (it was Red Van Man before that) 666 Park Ave sounds like enjoyable trash. I wonder if Vanessa Williams will be playing Wilhelmina AGAIN.
May 12, 201213 yr Oh SHE WILL. And even less fabulous than Renee, who was already about 1/1000th as fabulous as the original.
May 12, 201213 yr Author TVbytheNumbers has it listed as two shows :drama: Last Resort is the latest drama pick up by ABC
May 12, 201213 yr I hear the remaining ABC Studios pilots are not going forward. That includes Devious Maids. Americana is not going forward. :( They were probably two that I was most looking forward to but 'Nashville' and '666 Park Ave' weren't far behind so it isn't all bad. I don't even care if Vanessa Williams is just playing the same character again.
May 12, 201213 yr NBC seems to be looking the strongest of the main networks with its pickups, ABC seems really weak on comedies and Fox seems like it's on course to descend further next season. CBS has basically locked out next season, Fox will probably hold onto second with NBC and ABC a few tenths back vying for third.
May 12, 201213 yr ABC's comedies sound awful with the exception of How to Live With Your Parents. Their dramas on the otherhand... The CW made some brilliant choices. I heard The Selection was too similar to the Hunger Games it was verging on plagiarism. I reckon FOX will be down to NBC levels in a couple of years. Edited May 12, 201213 yr by GrAmii
May 12, 201213 yr ABC have picked up the multi-cam comedy Malibu Country (starring Reba Mcintyre) which has major buzz and will probably be paired with Last Man Standing. Mistresses was meant to be for summer 2013 at first but it'll probably be brought forward to midseason. Red Widow will likely be midseason too since it only has an 8 episode order. The other four dramas - Zero Hour, Last Resort, 666 Park Ave and Nashville - will probably be Fall shows with 666 paired up with Once at 9pm on Sundays. Edited May 12, 201213 yr by ☜★☞
May 13, 201213 yr CBS has picked up the following dramas: Elementary (Sherlock Holmes reboot starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu.) Golden Boy (Starring Theo James aka beautiful dead Pamuk off Downton Abbey. Tracks an ambitious young police officer’s meteoric rise through the department ranks.) Made In Jersey (formerly Baby Big Shot. Stars British actress Janet Montgomery as a working class woman who uses her street smarts to compete with her more polished colleagues at a Manhattan law firm.) Vegas (formerly Ralph Lamb. Set in the 1960s, the drama chronicles the true story of Ralph Lamb (Dennis Quaid) – rodeo cowboy turned longtime Sheriff of Las Vegas – and Johnny Savino (Michael Chiklis), a Chicago mob fixer whose entrepreneurial vision for transforming Las Vegas collides with the law-and-order mandate of Sheriff Lamb. Co-starring Carrie-Anne Moss and Jason O'Mara.) And on the comedy side just two: Friend Me (Stars Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad) and Nicholas Braun as twenty-something best friends and complete opposites who move from their hometown of Bloomington, Indiana to Los Angeles to begin their exciting new lives working at Groupon.) Partners (Multi-cam centering on lifelong friends and business partners, architects Charlie (David Krumholtz), who is straight, and Louis (Michael Urie), who is gay. Co-starring as the duo’s significant others are Sophia Bush as Charlie’s fiancé Ali and Brandon Routh as Louis' steady partner.) * I might actually give those dramas a go... well not Golden Boy but the rest sound like they have potential, especially Vegas which is apparently visually stunning.
