"Fox isn't wasting any time setting up its development slate. The network has ordered four comedy pilots and three dramas, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The newcomers join previously announced drama pilot Eva Adams, which is finalizing casting, and fall comedy Boldly Going Nowhere. Fox President Kevin Reilly said last week that the new comedy slate would be closer in tone to hit series Malcolm in the Middle and The Bernie Mac Show than this season's quickly cancelled Do Not Disturb. Among the contenders are: • The Station, a single-camera pilot from Ben Stiller's Red Hour films that revolves around a covert CIA operative whose team is trying to install a new dictator in South America. • Walorsky, a single-camera pilot that focuses on a lazy ex-cop-turned-mall security guard (common theme in Hollywood these days, no?) who is forced to shape up after being assigned an idiot partner. • Two Dollar Beer, a multi-camera pilot set in Detroit that centers on a blue-collar couple and their extended family and friends. • Sons of Tucson, a single-camera pilot that centers on a hustler hired by three rich brothers to pretend to be their "father" while their real one is in prison. The dramas include medical drama Maggie Hill, which focuses on a female surgeon who thrives despite fighting schizophrenia; Human Target, an adaptation of a DC Comics title about a security guard-for-hire who takes the fall for his clients who are in life-threatening danger; and an untitled project that revolves around investigators who solve current problems by using the concept of reincarnation to solve mysteries of their pasts. Do any of these pilots sound like winners to you? "

jesus christ, all of these sound horrible to me. There isn't much I watch on FOX these days except for House MD and Family Guy the few weeks its actually new. But it sounds like FOX has slated a whole crop of early season dumpers for next fall.

with FOX involved, it'll either suck and get cancelled before the first season is over, or it'll rock and still get cancelled after the first season. Fail.

1/20/2009 2:58:18 PM

I'd much rather have seen about half of those shows uncanceled rather than Family Guy

1/20/2009 5:49:57 PM

^Firefly was good. The rest, not so much.

1/20/2009 7:01:03 PM

^The Tick was awesome.

1/20/2009 7:29:04 PM

Firefly was cut down before its prime.

I also liked The Lone Gunmen, but maybe that had more to do with me being a big X-Files fan back in the day.

I can only guess that the rest were pretty hit-and-miss.

1/20/2009 8:10:35 PM

so wait

"The Station" is a comedy?

I am still LOLing over that and I read it like 10 minutes ago

1/20/2009 9:00:31 PM

I'm not sure I understand how "The Station" is going to be a comedy.

But I already know the other 3 are going to be terrible, so it's the only one I can see being any good.

1/20/2009 10:57:30 PM

Who the fuck cares?

If the show is good, fox will kill it.

1/20/2009 11:53:19 PM

Apparently everything i've read about "The Station" is that its supposed to be very similar to "The Office". so something unoriginal and with Ben Stiller at the helm.


The Office with CIA agents, in a foreign country.....i say it'll get 8 episodes.

isn't every show on Fox either 24, House, American Idol, or a filler show they can run promos for the those 3 in?

Dark Angel was a good change of pace, and Jessica Alba was so hot.

Titus made me laugh and Undeclared was great.

Andy Richter was great, but fox killed it. The episode with "black andy" and office racism is still a comedic gem.

and the tick and greg the bunny weren't bad.
