Good news, bad news on pilots.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the early word about pilots is that ABC is "handing a series order" to "Day Break," the Taye Diggs series that co-stars Adam Baldwin, but that "Him and Us," the sitcom starring Anthony Stewart Head, is a "no-go" but might be shopped elsewhere. The article also reports that Christian Kane's "Close to Home" is "looking good to return next season" on CBS.
NonVerse news that might be of interest here include a "yes" for a new drama from J.J. Abrams from ABC, and that things "bode well for the chances" of "Veronica Mars" finding a home at the CW.

Are you trying to jinx it ? Those words send network execs scurrying for cover quicker than 'Ned and Stacy II: Nedder and Stacier' ;-)

Wait, what am I saying?
ETA: I like "Close to Home," but calling it a Christian Kane vehicle is hilarious; he shows up for an average of about 20 seconds per episode.

Frankly, I'll be surprised if Drive isn't picked up.

Not too fussed about the ASH sitcom, mainly because I'm really not a sitcom watcher (pardon the pun). I'd much rather see ASH in something a lot more substantial, preferably drama based.

If the CW is looking for good sitcoms, it should consider this show

I read an early version of the script and it wasn't good. It was pretty much the opposite of good. :/ I know there were rewites after the version of the script I read, but trust me - ASH can do so much better!
You don't like The George Lopez Show?
I think they are just going into production right now... I heard they were going to be shooting really late to accomidate people they wanted to work on the pilot but who were already working on other pilots. That was just a rumor I was told so no guarantees that the info is accurate. :)

Oh, and I can't wait for Drive. Go Tim! Don't get cancelled! Maybe he should plan for the third episode to work as a series finale OR as a third episode, just in case.

(OK, how many other VM fans thought they'd gone all Joss when we thought Keith was on the plane?)
billz | May 12, 05:24 CET
Yes, the finale rocked hard.
