NBC 2011-2012 Show Development Update
A personal look at the shows under development at NBC for next season, ranking them in order of interest to myself (thus to Abaza TV's chances of picking them up).
Currently Abaza TV is running Chuck, 30 Rock, The Office, Harry's Law, Law & Order Los Angeles, and sometimes Law & Order SVU. We were also running The Cape but its unlikely this will continue regardless of the show's fate, and were running Chase, but that has been cancelled by NBC.
So what new show's in development are looking promising to Abaza TV? Remember, these shows are a long way from making it onto the NBC schedule, committments have not yet been made.

The Crossing (Drama)
period drama about a civil war soldier who crosses the country and settles into a complicated town where he is welcomed as its savior - whether he likes it or not. I love period pieces but hopefully there is a bit more action then the description makes it out to sound.

Ford County (Drama)
drama about the inhabitants of the mississippi region and their foibles. EP John Grisham. Fun with rednecks basically, hopefully its as funny as the short stories.

Young Turks (Drama)
drama about the personal and professional lives of a group of new yorkers in their 20s who find themselves in the high-powered worlds of finance, politics and media. Sounds intriguing, a heavy drama currently missing from NBC's line-up.

Wonder Woman (Drama)
drama about the dc comics icon, a vigilante crime fighter in l.a. but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life. From David E Kelley.
Might be a bust (bad pun).

Join The Club (Sit-Com)
comedy about a disenchanted 30-year-old joins his step-grandfather's men's club and finds an unlikely group of friends where he least expected. Imagine that a sit-com which does not revolve around alternative lifestyles, mixed families, or chefs.

The Dark Tower (Drama)
Based on the Stephen King novels. Would be great Friday or Saturday night vieweing on the PVR.

Brave New World (Sit-Com) Ed Begley Jr.
comedy about the staff at a plymouth plantation-type living museum that have people reenact the way the pilgrims once went about their days. Ed Begley Jr is a nut, so hopefully he plays one.

Mars Direct (Drama)
drama about a mission to the red planet. a little vague on the details right now to say the least.

Sila (Drama)
drama depicting a complex web of crime, policework and politics in los angeles. If Young Turks doesnt work out this one could take its place for me.

I'm With Russell (Sit-Com) Russell Peters
comedy based on the life of the comedian, who was raised in canada to parents who had immigrated from india, was married earlier this year and is expecting his first child in 2011. Canada you say?

The Eulogist (Drama)
drama about a woman in her 20s who moonlights as a eulogist. Harold & Maude like perhaps? Hopefully more like that then Medium.

~untitled Lee & Walsh project~ (Sit-Com)
comedy about a self-centered, once-hot internet entrepreneur and his would-be think tank as he tries to maintain the illusion he's a sean parker-like CEO

Lovelives (Sit-Com)
comedy about a couple who explore cheating on their spouse and the friends/family members around them who encourage it. The new Cougar Town/Swingtown?
