Happy pilot season
Zap2it's TV Gal takes a look at this pilot season and the most promising ones. Some of our favorite Buffy/Angel actors are mentioned! |
 HOLLYWOOD (Zap2it.com) - - I don't think Hallmark makes a card for this but Happy Pilot Season.
Because I was an accounting major in college (scary but true), I am able to put this in completely accurate mathematical terms. The chances of having a hit TV show are about a gazillion to one. Just to get a network to produce your pilot is huge. Just to land a part on a pilot is huge. But the majority of those pilots don't get picked up and go quietly into TV obscurity.
Practically every former resident of the Peach Pit has a pilot in the works. So do James Van Der Beek, Nicholas Brendon, Alyson Hannigan, Denise Richards, Dean Cain and WB boys Jared Padelecki, Jensen Ackles, Adam Lavorgna and Milo Ventimiglia. Pilots certainly make strange bed fellows. For instance, President Palmer and Fred on "Angel" are in a CBS drama pilot with Noel from "Felicity."
Of the many, many pilots in production, here are the ones I hope, sight unseen, live to tell the tale. After all I loved "Desperate Housewives" before I even met it, and that worked out pretty well.
"The Catch": We've been hearing about the ABC/J.J. Abrams drama forever and it is about time the scene stealing Greg Grunberg got his own show.
"3 Lbs": Dylan McDermott and Reiko Aylesworth (Michelle on "24") in a CBS drama about brain surgeons with Tom Fontana ("Homicide") as an executive producer? I'm in.
 "Bones": With his impeccable sense on comic timing, I was hoping David Boreanaz's next project would be a sitcom. But this FOX drama about forensic anthropologist will do.
"Windfall": This FOX drama would feature Lana Parrilla (Sarah from this season "24"), Sarah Wynter (Kate from second season "24") and Luke Perry. What more could I want?
"Nobody's Watching": "Scrubs" executive producer Bill Lawrence is behind this WB comedy about two guys who win a reality show and the prize is a reality show based on their lives. I'm confused enough to be intrigued.
"Queen B": "Miss Match" was too short-lived. We need Alicia Silverstone back in this FOX comedy about an overachiever.
"noTORIous": If you don't want to see an NBC sitcom where Tori Spelling stars in a fictionalized version of her life, you might be reading the wrong column.
