The Babes of the New Charlie's Angels

When it comes to reboots of classic franchises, I don't like them. Give me originality over repackaging any day!
But if remakes must be made, networks should at least choose classicshows that involve hot chicks. Enter ABC's reimagining of the classic'70s program Charlie's Angels. Along with NBC's Wonder Woman, Charlie's Angels is one of the most high-profile pilots being created for the upcoming fall season. And just like we did with Wonder Woman, it's time to pass judgment on the show based on one promotional picture.

                                                Above, you see (from left to right) former General Hospital star Annie Ilonzeh as Kate, Aussie actress Rachael Taylor as Marisa, and Friday Night Lights' Minka Kelly as Abby. I see what looks like a women's shampoo commercial.
                                                            Charlie's Angels is pretty much a lock to make it on ABC's schedule this fall. And with former Smallville showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar taking control of the show, it may also be good!

TNT and TBS announce 2011-12 schedule

TNT and TBS have announced details of their official 2011-12 television schedule.

The final season of The Closer will launch with 15 episodes in late 2011, and will continue with six more in the summer of 2012, leading into the launch of new spinoff series Major Crimes.

Ten episodes of Major Crimes have currently been commissioned, with actress Mary McDonnell reprising her role as police captain Sharon Raydor.

TNT is also developing a number of original movies expected to debut in November and December, including adaptations of the Scott Turow novel Innocent and Richard North Patterson's Silent Witness.

Other adaptations in the works include television films based on Sandra Brown's Ricochet, Lisa Gardner's Hide, April Smith's Good Morning, Killer and Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark's Deck the Halls.

The cable network will also air new seasons of Rizzoli & Isles, Men of a Certain Age, Leverage, Hawthorne, Memphis Beat and Southland. New series due to debut in 2011 include alien invasion drama Falling Skies and legal comedy-drama Franklin & Bash, while the Eric McCormack-starring Perception will air in 2012.

In addition, TBS has ordered ten episodes of hour-long comedy The Wedding Band starring Desperate Housewives actor Brian Austin Green and Lost's Harold Perrineau. The show is slated to premiere in the summer of 2012. The channel will also air a new season of Conan O'Brien talkshow Conan.

"We understand that exceptional programming comes from working with exceptional talent," said Michael Wright, executive vice president and head of programming for TNT and TBS. "We hire the best actors, actresses, writers, producers and directors in the business, give them a clear creative target and then try to get out of their way and let them make terrific television."

Would really like to know Dallas ratings

New pilots

Let's make this easy by just listing the pilots that were ordered today, along with my level of interest based on the vague loglines that announced:

At NBC...
DRAMA
The BlacklistFrom John Eisendrath (Alias)

The premise: This follows a master criminal who turns himself in and agrees to give up all of his past connections, but only under the condition that he works with an FBI agent who he seemingly has no connection with.

Interest level:
Ummm... an I-don't-really-care 5/10. That's about as non-committal as a person can be, right?

Untitled Rand Ravitch dramaFrom Rand Ravich (Life)

The premise:
An untitled thriller about a secret service agent who gets involved in an international incident on his first day on the job. Expect lots of corruption and moral quandaries!
Interest level: 7/10 because THIS ONE GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP!

The Sixth GunFrom Carlton Cuse (Lost)

The premise: Based on a graphic novel set in the Old West. When the most dangerous and powerful of a half-dozen mythical guns ends up in the hands of a girl, lots of bad people (some presumed dead) show up to try and get it.

Interest level:
7/10 because this is NBC and this is an interesting concept that the network will blow, right?

COMEDY
Untitled DJ Nash project, single-cameraFrom DJ Nash (Up All Night)

The premise:
Try and follow this one: "A son idolizing his blind father and bemused by his mother's newfound adolescence who watches his family come closer together post-divorce." It was originally set in the 1980s, but will now be set in the present day.
Interest level: Did you read that logline? How about 0/10?

Girlfriend in a Coma, single-camera From Nurse Jackie co-creator Liz Brixius

The premise:
This follows a 34-year old woman who wakes up from a coma to find out that she has a 17-year-old daughter from a pregnancy she didn't know she had.
Interest level: This sounds like it has enough plot for a five-minute sketch. 5/10.

Holding Patterns, multi-cameraFrom Justin Spitzer, producer of The Office

The premise:
This ensemble comedy centers on a group of friends whose lives change after they all survive a plane crash.
Interest level: 3/10 because it's multi-cam and because what the hell do you do with this concept for more than half a season?

Untitled Victor Fresco project, multi-cameraFrom Victor Fresco, creator of Better Off Ted

The premise:
Will and Grace's Sean Hayes stars as a man trying to be a father to his teenage daughter while simultaneously keeping his new mercurial boss happy.
Interest level: Gonna go out on a limb here and say this sounds boring. Three points for Hayes, so 3/10.

At Fox...

DRAMA

Rake
From Peter Duncan (creator of the Australian original) and Peter Tolan (Rescue Me)

The premise:
Greg Kinnear stars as a mouthy criminal defense lawyer who is good at his job but has a hard time keeping his opinions to himself. He takes the cases no one else wants!
Interest level: 7/10, because of Kinnear, but really this is another lawyer show with a touch of House.

Sleepy HollowFrom Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci (Star Trek the movie)

The premise:
A modern-day supernatural thriller based on the legendary town that follows Ichabod Crane as he partners with the local female sheriff to solves cases dealing with the battle of good and evil.
Interest level: 8/10, dropping a point or two with every episode just like every other recently aired crummy network supernatural thriller.

DeliriumFrom Karen Usher (Prison Break)

The premise:
Based on the book series, this sci-fi show is set in a world where love is illegal and authorities can "remove" it with a special technique. So of course main character Lena Holoway falls in love just a few months before she's supposed to be de-loved.

Interest level:
Sounds hokey. 4/10.

The ListFrom Paul Zbyszewski (Daybreak)

The premise:
What happens when the identities of everyone in the Witness Protection Program get leaked to an unknown source? They all start dying! It's up to one Marshal to save them and hopefully give them bigger fake mustaches so they can stay hidden.
Interest level: How about 6/10? That sounds good.

COMEDY
I Suck at Girls, single-cameraFrom author Justin Halpern (the source book), and produced by Bill Lawrence (Cougar Town)

The premise:
Here's the logline that the trades are using: "The story of a boy becoming a man, and a man becoming a father, in a time before coming of age was something you could Google." Barf. The book is about a man revisiting his ideas of love and life when he tells his dad he's getting engaged.
Interest level: This is from the same guy who gave us S#*! My Dad Says, so what's lower than zero?

Friends and Family, single-cameraFrom Gavin & Stacey creators James Corden and Ruth Jones

The premise:
This is an Americanized version of the U.K. show Gavin & Stacey, about a couple in a long-distance relationship.
Interest level: How many U.K. remakes have been successful on U.S. network TV? One? Let's say 2/10.

House Rules, single-cameraFrom Justin Hurwitz (The League)

The premise: This family comedy is set in Wisconsin, and the family in question is a group of "introverted, neurotic" people who don't mind telling you more than you want to know.
Interest level: This is so vague it's something like a 2/10 to an 8/10. Who knows.

To My Assistant, format TBAFrom blogger Lydia Whitlock

The premise:
Young assistants to overbearing bosses in New York City get stepped on and complain about the oppression.
Interest level: I have a no-blog tolerance policy but I'm feeling generous so 1/10.

At CBS..
.

DRAMA
Beverly Hills CopFrom Shawn Ryan (Last Resort, Terriers, The Shield)

The premise:
Hey! I know this one. Ryan brings the film franchise to TV with a story about Axel Foley's son joining the Beverly Hills police force. Brandon T. Jackson stars as the son, and Eddie Murphy will reportedly reprise his role in the show's pilot, with the possibility for more banana-in-the-tailpipe action in later episodes.
Interest level: Plus 10 points for Ryan, minus 2 points for a remake, minus 1 point for CBS, so 7/10 if my math is correct.

BackstromFrom Hart Hanson (Bones)

The premise:
Based on the Swedish crime books, Backstrom is described as House with a detective. You know, brilliant but cranky.
Interest level: Another detective procedural? How about a 3/10.

COMEDY
Friends with Better Lives, multi-cameraFrom Dana Klein

The premise:
This takes the "group of 20-somethings" formula and changes it by making it about 30-somethings! And they all think their friends have better lives than they do.
Interest level: The last CBS sitcom I was excited about was The Bob Newhart Show, so let's say 2/10.

At ABC...
DRAMA
BetrayalFrom David Zabel (ER)

The premise:
Based on the Dutch show Overspel, this drama is about a woman who strays from her marriage with a lawyer by cheating with a different sexy lawyer. But when her new bed buddy is assigned a case defending a murder suspect against her prosecuting husband, all sorts of twists and turns unfurl. Serves you right, cheating hussy!
Interest level: Primetime soap, so I'll pass. 4/10.

VeniceFrom McG's Wonderland Studios

The premise:
A Romeo and Juliet-type scenario set in California's beach city.
Interest level: McG? ZERO!

The ReturnedFrom author Jason Mott

The premise:
What happens when the dead come back and rejoin their old families like nothing ever happened? The Returned, that's what!
Interest level: Finally, a show that sounds a bit interesting! 8/10

COMEDY
Pulling, single-cameraFrom Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (Bad Teachers)

The premise:
Based on the British series, three 30-something women live the lives they want to live, societal norms be damned.

Interest level:
I have to stick with the British adaptation rule here and say this will probably butcher the magic of the original. 5/10.

NBC orders 'Constantine' TV series

NBC is working on a TV series based on "Constantine," a DC character previously brought to life in a 2005 Keanu Reeves film. The script will be written by "Da Vinci's Demons" showrunner David S. Goyer, who is also writing the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman" film.

Netflix and Marvel Are Joining Forces on Live-action Tv Shows

The video-streaming service has partnered with Disney/Marvel Television in a newly announced deal that will bring four Marvel-branded live-action series and one big-event miniseries to Netflix beginning in 2015 and rolling out over several years. The superpeople at the center of the series will be Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. Each series will have a 13-episode run, and once those have been released, all four characters will reunite for a The Defenders miniseries. Yes, this is that 60-episode Marvel deal that was swirling around the rumor drain last month.

Now if you're like me, then you don't know your Spider-Man from your Spider-Girl from your Spider-Spider, so let's run down who these weirdos are:

Daredevil– You know Daredevil as Ben Affleck. Well, Affleck played him in the 2003 film. Daredevil, born Matt Murdock, was blinded by radioactive sludge at a young age, and though his sight was taken from him, his remaining senses went boffo and now he has the abilities of echolocation, heightened atheticism, and uhhhh... super taste? And in some iterations of the character, Daredevil has a dark side too: He's a lawyer!


Jessica Jones – This perty lady also became super from comics' go-to well of power-sourcing: radioactive material! A former classmate of Peter Parker, Jones used her abilities of flight (which she was never good at controlling), super strength, and temporary invulnerability to give the superhero thing a shot... but it didn't work out so well. So she chose a safer line of work and became a private detective. Spoiler: Later in life, she would go on to marry Luke Cage.

Luke Cage – This dude started out as a petty thief, but was sent to the big house after being framed by a former friend for a crime he didn't commit. In prison, he underwent an experimental cell-regeneration procedure that went awry and gave him super strength, impervious skin, and accelerated healing abilities. As you already know if you read what I just said about Jessica Jones, he eventually married Jessica Jones. *high fives Luke Cage, shatters every bone in hand*

Iron Fist – Born Daniel Rand, this guy learned martial arts from some badasses in a mythical city following the death of his parents. The most "real" of these four heroes, this guy is really just super at martial arts. But he does have one cool party trick: the ability to focus his chi into his fist, forming a glowing and dense five-fingers-and-one-palm-of-death. Iron Fist can also heighten his physical skills and heal fast... if anyone can even hurt him! I guess I'm most excited about this one because Iron Fist's earthly abilities seem better matched for television.

CW NEW Shows

The CW has ordered three pilots, including one called iZombie from Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas and his frequent collaborator Diane Rugierro. The project is based on the DC Comics series of the same name and follows a med student who becomes a zombie and takes a job at the coroner's office in order to be in close proximity to her new food source.

The network also handed a pilot order to Jane the Virgin, which sounds so awful I don't even want to talk about it, but I will. The potential series is adapted from what I'm told is a successful Venezuelan telenovela called Juana La Virgen. It's about a young girl who is accidentally artificially inseminated. And it sounds terrible. Not just the pilot, but the entire thing in general.

Lastly, The CW has also ordered a pilot called Identity, and it's so ridiculous that I have to let the official logline tell you what it's about: "When a young woman in need of a transplant learns she is related to a powerful family whose son is her only hope for a donor organ, the CIA approaches her to investigate the family’s involvement in domestic terrorism and to infiltrate their rarefied world. Her loyalty, morality, and ethics are tested as she’s forced to slowly build a case against the family who saved her life.”
