"Nobody's Watching" was a pilot that NBC didn't pick up in 2005, but after getting great buzz from YouTube.com, NBC has decided to put the show back in development.

After watching the pilot, I think if it's picked up, the show could be a huge hit. I for one think the show is hilarious and very innovative. The cameos are funny too. :lol:

If you like sitcoms, I think you'll enjoyed it. I did. :)

I loved it! It was hilarious. As a Battlestar Galactica fan, I loved seeing Paul Campbell doing comedy.

I'm sure the modified pilot will include references to NBC being in 4th and maybe even a reference to the show not getting picked up by the WB :lol: I can't wait for it, I'm sure NBC will pair it up with Scrubs when it returns in January

I'm making a prediction right now --- within the next few years, there will be a network that puts every single pilot in development online *before* announcing their fall schedule and will let the general public vote on what their new shows should be based on their viewings of the pilot. It could be the ultimate reality show. They could do a special evening show onair where they introduce the series, go through elimination rounds, meet the actors and performers of the various series, etc. I could see it happening.

I liked it...but I'm confused. They're developing a sitcom...but they're a reality show on a sitcom sound stage...and the audience is there TWENTY FOUR/SEVEN?! :lol: It was really funny, and I liked how the writers of the show 'got' the industry (one of my favorite 'smart' references was the joke about not calling it "Nobody's Watching" because the critics who pan the show would use that reference as an insult), but like I said, I don't quite get what it's about, lol.

    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
