Members Sylph Posted February 6, 2010 Members Share Posted February 6, 2010 It's the worst of the three. Carol Mendelsohn, CSI showrunner and ex-Melrose, really did a great job with the original one — I didn't expect it to last this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vanguardian Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 Out of all of these proposed new shows I think "The Killing" sounds like the best one! I've read a synopsis about the Danish version of the show (entitled "Forbrydelsen") and it sounds a lot to me like a crime/mystery soap with the various suspects, red-herrings, and whodunnits. And I love it how three other separate storylines will tie in with the murder. That makes for a lot of intrigue. Political intrigue is also supposed to play a big part in this show. One article described it as a cross between "Prime Suspect" and "The Wire". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 I wonder why no one got the idea of creating a primetime soap set in the Wall Street banking world. Very topical, du jour, plenty of storyline possibilities, ample character possibilities... I was expecting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 Perhaps they're waiting to see how Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps will do, or at least waiting to capitalize on its intended success. I wouldn't be surprised if a similar pilot popped up after its release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 Could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Forget Wall Street. I was terribly interested in ABC's pilot from a few years ago, Sold, which had Judith Light as the HBIC of a family-run real estate agency. I had high hopes for it, but it wasn't picked up.

Administrator Toups Posted February 13, 2010 Administrator Share Posted February 13, 2010 There was one - Darren Star created The $treet in 2000. I was disappointed when it was cancelled because I really liked the cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Oh, I forgot about that one! AMS, that Judith Light show sounds good. I don't watch Ugly Betty but it looks like she plays a pretty fierce character on there. She also had a VERY short-lived sitcom where she played a Martha Stewart type, she and Jean Smart both had shows like that one season IIRC. Never caught either.

Members Sylph Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 I remember that! About an ex-Navy guy who's now a stock broker on WS. Too bad many of Darren's shows got cancelled during/around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Yeah and Jeannie Garth was brought on as a Special Guest Star to boost ratings. It had a nice cast. Adam Goldberg and Jennifer Connelly were in it. I'd love to revisit that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 And I've just found out that Jesse Alexander's (ex-Heroes) Day One has been downgraded to some kind of two-hour movie, which will have a kind of unresolved ending allowing it to roll into a full-blown TV series...
