It’s Showtime! Network Screenings…
Here’s Deadline Hollywood, Nellie’s, latest Primetime Pilot Panic buzz.
It’s showtime for broadcast pilots as screenings at the networks are kicking off. Today was Day 1 of screenings at ABC, Fox and the CW and Day 4 for CBS, which started on Friday. NBC starts its viewing tomorrow. There were a couple of standouts today. At ABC, it seems to be the Mark Gordon-produced procedural IDENTITY starring Angela Bassett as the head of a unit fighting identity-related crime, which exceeded expectations. Several other ABC pilots had solid showings: dramas CHARLIE’S ANGELS, which is considered a lock, POE, said to be a favorite of ABC chief Paul Lee (though some are concerned that it is essentially a 1840s Castle with a supernatural twist), and comedy SMOTHERED, while reaction to Chris Moynihan’s comedy MAN UP and the Count of Monte Cristo-flavored drama REVENGE were mixed.
Its not really all that different from what I posted below but thought you might be interested in seeing how Ash’s pilot is still doing especially with Upfronts being right around the corner. Remember, keep your fingers crossed — we want Ashley on-screen weekly
