The Fall Upfronts news/rumor thread

New Amsterdam and Moonlight appear to have significant overlap on concept.

 

Possibly, but it really is even closer to Angel season 1 and Forever Knight.

Apparently law enforcement and private investigation is the only career path for vampires and immortals.

 

It lets them look all broody in stark, noirish lighting.

 

Probably smeeking, but how about FOX? They are the only one I have not seen yet.

 

TY. That is what I believed, but I could not find anything to confirm that.

 

I don't know Kid Nation could be interesting depending how its done.

If it is Lord of the Flies-esque, it could be very interesting. I suspect it will lean more towards the gee whiz look at these kinds be good and learn.

 

Well, from what I see on CSI, they never turn lights on.

Veronica Mars still sitting all by itself in fate to be determined..not good

 

What I've read about Veronica Mars is that it might not be decided even when the schedule is announced today. Presumably that means that if it isn't on the schedule, that might not mean it's been officially cancelled.

 

Dude, you must be out of your mind. Reno 911 is an improve comedy. Viva Laughlin is a murder/mystery musical drama. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, similar about them.

I think Viva Laughlin looks awesome. It's based on Viva Blackpool, which aired on BBC America and was also really, really good. I would urge everyone to check out the preview of it. Like I said, I think it looks really well done. Plus, it's got Hugh Jackman and the guy who is currently playing President Palmer on 24.

I haven't seen one of the usual press-release type of announcements, but thefutoncritic has its fall grid filled in for the CW. And it's Veronica-less.

That seems like a lot of new shows for Fox, considering they're only on two hours a night. I guess with the long hiatuses (hiati?) that shows like Prison Break and 24 take, their total number of series isn't as relevant.

 

I'm waiting to see what Ausiello says - obviously he'll be at the upfront and he said he's going to ask about the future of "Veronica." But yes, at this point, it remains off the schedule, both for fall and for midseason.

ETA: Ausiello's "transcription" of the CW Upfront, which just ended 10 minutes ago: http://community.tvguide.com/blog-e...log/Ausiello-Report/Live-Cw-Upfront/800015355

 

Nobody interested in "The Sarah Connor Chronicles"? I think it has potential.

I knew Summer Glau (Firefly/Serenity) was in this but didn't know her part. Now that I read that article, I'm very interested in this. Glad she'll get to show off her fighting prowess again!

Of course, it will probably get shelved early...

 

Looks like Veronica is canceled.
