Upfront 2012: What Pilots Are Still Alive BY NELLIE ANDREEVA | Thursday May 17, 2012 @ 6:58am PDT Email This The broadcast networks left an uncharacteristically small number of pilots in midseason contention this year. The strongest among them is the Fox drama Guilty starring Cuba Gooding Jr. who tested very high. The network picked up only two new drama series for next season, making a third order a possibility despite limited shelf space. Magical procedural Gotham still has a pulse at ABC and also is exploring a potential cable play. There are several pilots which are dead but their concepts are not. ABC comedy Only Fools and Horses, based on a British series which is a favorite of ABC boss Paul Lee, will likely be redeveloped. Ditto for American Judy as ABC brass love star Judy Greer and are the fish-out-of-water premise of her pilot this year and are looking to develop a new vehicle for her in that vein. Similarly, the CW is expected to take another stab at developing a TV series based on The Selection series of books by Kiera Cass. The network brass are very keen on having a show on the air that is thematically close to the blockbuster Hunger Games movie franchise the way the network’s hit Vampire Diaries is to Twilight. Beyond that, there are several pilots that are being shopped elsewhere, including comedies El Jefe, Super Fun Night and Oh Fk, It’s You.
The CW Eyes ‘The Selection’, Two Comedies For Midseason BY NELLIE ANDREEVA | Thursday May 17, 2012 @ 10:45am PDT Email This The CW had been open to launching as many as six new drama series next season and it may still do it. The network picked up five pilots to series and the one that just missed the cut, The Selection, remains in serious contention. I hear CW brass are planning to sit down with the producers of the project next week to discuss its redeveloping. Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain, who wrote the adaptation of Kiera Cass’ novels, are expected to remain on board but instead of staying close to the source material as they did this season, they will likely use the books more of a jumping-off point the second time around. The cast is expected to change, but the CW and The Selection studio Warner Bros TV are looking to keep the lead – Friday Night Lights‘ Aimee Teegarden —who got high marks. The project is being put on a fast track and, if it comes together, could join the CW’s schedule in midseason. “I truly believe that there is a series in The Selection,” CW president Mark Pedowitz said after the network’s upfront presentation today. Related: Upfront 2012: What Pilots Are Still Alive As part of Pedowitz’s efforts to re-introduce comedy series on the network, the CW developed several half-hour scripts. None of them was picked up to pilot —Pedowitz explained the decision with the need to stabilize the schedule, which is done easier with hourlong series. Now that he feels the lineup is in good shape, Pedowitz said he will focus attention on comedies. Of the half-hour scripts that the CW developed this past cycle, two remain in contention: an adaptation of the 2009 British comedy FM starring pre-Bridesmaids Chris O’Dowd, about two radio DJs and their producers; and the Ben McMillan- and Josh Greenbaum-written and Craig Zadan- and Neil Meron-produced Swordfighting, about two young couples. While one of the scripts is written as a single-camera and one as multi-, both may be done as single-camera as the CW will likely re-introduce scripted comedy to its drama-heavy lineup with single-camera shows. Like The Selection, the two comedy projects could be piloted off cycle and launch later in the season. Related: The CW’s 2012-13 Schedule: ‘Supernatural’ To Wednesday, ‘Top Model’ To Friday, Fall Launch Pushed To October After the CW upfront presentation, Pedowitz also addressed the network’s plan for an October fall launch. He said that the network’s fall lineup will roll out from October 1-10. He said that with the network’s previous strategy of starting early, their shows would open well and then when the broadcast premiere week hits with several dozen series/season premieres, they would “lose traction.” By launching after the new shows on the other broadcast networks had already been sampled for two weeks, he hopes the CW shows won’t lose momentum and will also be able to air originals uninterrupted through December. The CW’s first-ever summer schedule will run through September for a seamless transition. Related: CW First Look Teasers: 2012-13 New Shows Pedowitz stressed that the upcoming eighth season of Supernatural is absolutely not envisioned to be the show’s final. He said that the move of Nikita from 8 PM to 9 PM on Friday, where it is facing NBC’s Grimm and Fox’s Fringe, was made to give its affiliates a better news lead-in as Nikita is a broader, older-skewing show. He also noted that its series adaptation of Deadman is not dead and he is proud of having Ringer on the air. It was a “complicated serial show” that was also hurt by a long midseason hiatus, leading to its cancellation but its star Sarah Michelle Gellar “is coming back to this network as a producer or as an actress,” Pedowitz said. Pedowitz was the latest network topper to express frustration over Dish’s proposed Auto Hop feature, which automatically erases commercials from shows, saying it will “bite the hand that supplies the content” and indicating that the satcaster should “pay suppliers for all ad revenue they are losing.”

Ringer - CW President committed to getting SMG back on the CW
He also addressed his decision to cancel the Sarah Michelle Gellar vehicle Ringer, saying the show's serialized format did not help it hold its audience during reruns. He said that Gellar, the beloved star of iconic series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, understood the decision and that he is committed to getting her back on the CW in some way, if not in a different series then as a producer. And he admitted that’s he’s still being inundated with emails from angry Gellar fans. “She will be back on the CW in some form,” he vowed.

OMG
Would be kind of hilarious if they got her for Vampire Diaries.
Smart of CW to move their 2 male-oriented shows to Wednesday (against American Idol/X-Factor). Most SPN and Green Arrow fans don't like Idol, so it's excellent counter-programming for CW.
I'm so done with The CW. Cancelling Ringer and The Secret Circle was the last straw. I'm not going to invest my time in any of these new shows when they'll all be cancelled after or before 1 full season. Wretched network.
Kate Walsh Poised To Depart ABC’s ‘Private Practice’ After 13 More Episodes
It looks like Dr. Addison Montgomery, who left Seattle Grace five years ago to move to Los Angeles, will be packing again. I’ve learned that Private Practice star Kate Walsh plans to leave the medical drama after 13 episodes of the upcoming sixth season.
There had been speculation that Walsh, who has played the character of Addison for 7 years, starting on Grey’s Anatomy before she segued to spinoff Private Practice, had been looking to move on. Her deal was up at the end of last season and, after intense negotiations, she agreed to return but committed to only 13 episodes. That paved the way to ABC’s sixth-season renewal of the series, which also was for 13 episodes. I hear that Walsh is now ready to move onto other things after she completes her contractual obligation.
It is unclear whether Private Practice, which was built around Walsh’s character, would continue without her. When ABC renewed Private Practice earlier this month, speculation was that the sixth season would be the show’s last, but ABC has stopped short of announcing an end date for the series.
However, with creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes busy with three series on the air — all created and run by her – Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice and Scandal, she may decide end Practice after Walsh leaves to focus on her other shows. There is a major cast departure already afoot on Private Practice. Tim Daly, originally tapped as the male lead opposite Walsh, unveiled earlier this week that he won’t be returning next season after his option was not picked up. On the feature side, Walsh will next be seen in The Perks Of Being a Wallflower, which opens in September.
