by Meredith Woerner — With the broadcast networks' upfront presentations right around the corner, TV studios everywhere are scrambling to pitch shows for Fall 2011. But which shows will make it past the pilot stage? Rumor has it some promising shows are in danger.

Shows that may not make it to your screens include J.J. Abrams' mysterious new Alcatraz series, the Locke & Key show and Ron Moore's 17th Precinct. Here's the latest on Fall TV's death match.

Discusses the prospects of the following shows:

Locke & Key
Alcatraz
Wonder Woman
17th Precinct
Touch
Grimm
R.E.M.
Poe
Once Upon a Time
The River
Secret Circle
Heavenly
Awakening

i was excited for Locke and Key but i hear that was already passed on by fox (i think) and Wonder Woman is not getting any good press either so that will probably won't make it either.

I'm looking forward to the two shows Whitney Cummings is coming up with, she is usually funny and I need something to hope for lol
 
Bwhaha, it makes me giddy that WW didn't get picked up. David E Kelly turned it into a sideshow. They need to revamp it and make it into a decent portrayal of WW.

the 17th Precinct non pick-up is only speculation at this point but this is going to be an odd series of picks this season. I feel it in my bones


Lets wait a while for this WW series to get washed out of public consciousness and then make a new fresher one closer to the CHARACTER IT IS NAMED FOR
 
I read another article that said it's a goner :(

lol the only show I have any interest in watching on NBC is Grimm lol

V was also cancelled as well as No Ordinary Family and Brothers and Sisters.
 
ABC canceled V and No Ordinary Family :( that makes me sad really really sad especially since V ended on such a downer.

Grimm is really not in a good spot on that Friday 9 slot. Its going to be competing with Fringe (Fox) and Supernatural (CW). The target audience is already going to be spread thin and that's not even including whatever SyFy comes up with too.
 
Unless Grimm is utterly fantastic that Friday @ 9 is a complete death sentence to any Scifi/fantasy show that tries to pull an audience. This is not going to end well for Grimm.
 
I don't understand why the networks put the same genre against each other. I'd probably watch Fringe AND Grimm if they weren't on at the same time as Supernatural. Now I won't watch either.
 
and here is the previews of the new comedy shows (while I'll probably check most them out dear god with the laugh track on some of them, cut that shit out)

On the genre packing thing there's something about Friday that makes all the quirky scifi/fantasy shows usually work well there. There's this weird idea that Friday is also the day that nerds are not going out unlike normal people so that's the day to put all the main scifi stuff (the non broad spectrum appealing shows). Unfortunately this means that they all get packed to the same 2 hour space at 8 between 10. Hopefully this won't hurt any show too bad cause this friday night death slot thing seems to be leaving Fringe and Supernatural on the verge of cancellation permanently and if it goes down i rather it not be Fringe.
 
Fox is putting out their fall line up and its Fringe Vs Grimm Fridays,
someone is gonna bomb that night :shootme:
