Netowrk Pilots & Renewals Update 2012

Deadline discusses the 2012 network pilots. I have to say with the unnamed titles, I have no opinion on them since I don't even know their name - or topic.

But, what I do know are the shows that I watch now and some of the good ones are being cancelled, which upsets me.

This site has a great chart that outlines all the networks, what is officially renewed, cancelled and at risk.

Shows I watch "on the bubble" (at risk) or cancelled:

CBS

-Unforgettable
I love this show, Poppy Montgomery plays Carrie Wells, who has a photographic memory and is a cop. Dylan Walsh is also into it (Nip/Tuck) and the show is cleverly done with a mystery/crime each episode as well as whole season conflicts and subplots.

-A Gifted Man
I stopped watching after a few episodes. An interesting premise but I couldn't get into it.

-CSI Miami & NY
I don't watch. I've only watched regulsr CSI and Miami back in the day when Horatio was in charge.

ABC

-Body of Proof
I stopped watching after a few episodes. It was good, but I didn't get into it.

-Pan Am
Probably cancelled, I really liked this (and Playboy Club) to do well when they started, but sadly neither were successful.

-Missing, GCB, The River
I didn't watch any of these, though I had planned to, so I am glad I didn't get attached to them

-Desperate Housewives
We have known this is the final season for a while. Not a big shocker.

***Thrilled Revenge looks to be on the to be renewed list along with Once Upon a Time love these new shows.

NBC

-PLayboy Club
As I mentioned, sad this was cancelled

-The Firm
I love this show, though I guess it would be tough to continue

-Are you there Chelsea?
Hilarious, but didn't expect it to last

-Awake
I love this and hope it continues. I want answers before it ends. A man lives in two realities one where his wife sruvived an accident, one where his son did. the filmography is great with brighter tones in one reality and blue tones in the other. He has therapists in both, he works as a cop and uses things from one reality to help solve crimes in the other. I love it - and I hope it continues

FOX

-Alcatraz
listed as pretty much dead, this upsets me because it is a locally filmed show and actually pretty awesome! Escaped prisoners from Alcatraz are among us in modern times committing crimes and a secret facilitiy has secrets as to how and why they are here now, unaged.

-TeraNova
listed as cancelled, I liked the show a lot, but it is expensive to produce and would have needed a lot more viewers/following to maintain.

CW

-Nikita
I stopped watching, not sure whats going on with it now but it is at risk of cancellation

-Secret Circle
I'd like to see at least another season of this. it is filmed locally, so I am bias, but it is a great show my daughter and I watch every thursday together.

-Hart of Dixie
I LOVE THIS SHOW! I will be so upset if they cancel it! It is so quirky and fun!
