It's time for BUZZ UPDATES! Unlike last time, where I added them to each pilot's “Will it be Good” I'm going to post them here.

 

Pilots that do not have buzzes* are still in production or early post-production.

 

ORDERED TO SERIES:

Dads

Untitled Michael J. Fox Project

 

CURRENTLY VERY HOT:

Big Thunder

Venice

Bad Management

Untitled Goor & Schur Project

Rake

Mom

Beverly Hills Cop (might be dependent on how committed Eddie Murphy is to the role)

Hostages

The Sixth Gun

Untitled Sean Hayes Project

Assistance

The Originals

The Hundred

 

CURRENTLY HOT:

Betrayal

Gothica

How the F*** Am I Normal?

Safe at Home (James Caan has been getting positive reception)

Trophy Wife

Super Fun Night

Enlisted

I Suck at Girls

Friends and Family

To My Assistant

Gang Related

The List

Boomerang

Super Clyde

The Unauthorized Greg Garcia Pilot

Crazy Ones

The McCarthys

Friends with Better Lives

Untitled NCIS: Los Angeles Spin-Off Project

Second Sight

Intelligence

Backstrom (Script was favorite of CBS brass)

Believe

The Blacklist

I am Victor

Untitled Rand Ravich Project

The Gates

Welcome to the Family

Undateable

About a Boy

Oxygen

 

DARK HORSES:

Reckless

The Returned

House Rules

Sleepy Hollow

The Selection (considered mass improvement over last year's pilot)

Reign (getting good points on visuals)

 

(*SHIELD has no buzz at this point because Marvel/Whedon haven't shown it to anyone-it's under tight lock and key)

I hope 6th Gun gets picked up. Sounds interesting and would be a perfect fit with Revolution for NBC.

 

I've gotta believe that the Robin Williams show will be picked up by CBS because well, it stars Robin Williams which alone would create buzz. Kind of how Kevin Bacon starring in The Following basically guaranteed it getting picked up.

The problem is that CBS basically has three shows that should be guaranteed ones: Crazy Ones (Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar!), one of the Greg Garcia ones, and Mom but they really only have one, two at most, spots open. Plus I imagine Bad Teacher (based on movie), Ex Men (Kal Penn, Tony Shalhoub and Jerry O'Connell), and a few others are still in the running. There's talks CBS is going to add more comedy hours so they can order more shows...but it's going to be a tough choice. From what I understand, CBS is really pleased with their current comedy pilot selection so that's hopefully good news. Still it's early-we have a month and buzzes can significantly change in that time frame.

LOl @ putting Shitto in "established actors" category. Nobody knows who the fuck she is, lmao!

I don't watch Home and Away or Neighbours so I have no idea who these people are when they pop up on an American TV show.

Cast update definably coming this weekend-hopefully the last one. Buzz update with it.

 

Anyways:

 

NBC has commissioned four backup scripts of After Hours. This seems to hint that the network is edging towards a series order but still not a guarantee.

Buzz has been good. It's currently a frontrunner.

 

frontrunner for what? Awards? Ratings? It must die. I don`t care about the pilot buzz. Smash had amazing pilot buzz and it won`t survive this season. Down with Shitto. No awards for Shitto. None. No. I won`t allow it.

 

What`s the buzz on Shitto? She cnanot possibly be visible in the shadow of Kinner and Bojana Novakovic who is young and hot.

Frontrunner to get picked up as a series. I highly doubt Rake will ever get nominated for awards.

 

I have heard nothing about Miranda Otto. That doesn't mean anything, though, as it's rare when an actor or actress gets into the buzz updates.

Have you heard of Satisfaction? Bojana was in the first season.
