Agreed. TV execs must have fucking thousands of pitches to choose from, and this is what they put into production. It doesn't make any sense.
Posting until it eventually gets made.
>Black Box
Clancy Brown and Mark Pellegrino are two pilots flying through a well known spooky corridor known for circumstances similar to Bermuda triangle. One day they receive a radio single for help which they play off as a nearby base requesting for help, Clancy Brown gives away vital historical information like the allies winning the war and all the things leading up to the 20th century. When they emerge through a strange cloud Brown and Pellegrino find themselves in a radically altered united states,the USA is balkanized and at war with one another similar to how the USA is at war. They are adopted by the independent state of New York and are assigned to go on spying missions in several rogue states, Clancy Brown learns his character went missing in Russian still owned Alaska while Pellegrino learns his family are all dead after an accident. Brown swears to get them both them, After spying for the ISONY Brown and Pellegrino are shipped to Florida where they meet John Tito who is with the Fighting Diamond Backs.
Would /tv/ watch? 6 seasons maximum and it ends kind of similar to Quantim Leap on an ambiguous note

This doesn't sound horrible, and Cheryl is a milf.
Like three shows that are basically: "Wow, raising a family is harder than my job!"
Son of Zorn, Man With A Plan, Kevin Can't Wait.
>>69572870
I meant to say how the USA is at war with it self similar to how it was with the USSR during the Cold War and Brown swears he will get both characters home.
Pellgrino ends up going crazy because he learns his family is dead in this timleline. Brown learns his daughter who had terminal cancer in the pervious timeline is all alive and well in the current timeline, kind of like the Twilight Zone episode The Parallel

Networks are terrified of taking risks. That's why there are so many common traits in the shows.

>What does this mean? How could it have internal support, but still not fit their mold?
They want to appeal to a certain audience.
Rumor is Drew didn't get picked up by CBS because even though internally they thought it was great, in the test audiences, mostly women loved it and they wanted the older+male centric audience

Cookie cutter stuff. I take their comments to mean they like it, but it's not a safe bet across all demos.

You don't want to watch a buddy cop show featuring a down on his luck detective and his partner, a haunted HAM radio?
>>69574875
Well, he's raising another man's children, so he's a literal cuckold. But when it comes to interracial relationships, the race of the female is the cucked race.

>>69577488
Yes, from the creators of "Fargo", starring Dan Stevens from "Downtown Abbey" and "The Guest".
However, it seems completely excised from the movies, and David Heller might not even be Xavier's son in it.
>>69576718
Remake of this:

>>69570442
Matt LeBlanc better be ready for a decade of Jenna following him.
>>69572828
so its like spaceghost but he is in a family comedy
>>69578060
Nah, her oneitis for Krasinski is too strong.
>>69577784
Movies are trash though it would kinda suck if David's not Xavier's son since a good chunk of his problems come from that
>>69577858
I feel kind of interested in this. I really liked Upper Middle Bogan.
>>69579430
Same, although I doubt the Americans will capture what made Upper Middle Bogan good. Apparently season 3 is happening this year which I'm pretty hype for.
>>69579465
I do wonder how they'll capture that bogan quality. It's not something the US really has, they have white trash and maybe whatever it is that Jersey Shore was based around but bogans are a kind of weird thing of their own.
I really like the sister character, the one who worked at a bank and managed everyone's money. She had a nice story arc in season 2 trying to get a better job and looking after her kid. Also the daughter was kind of hot in a Rose Byrne way.

People watch them OnDemand. Different shows for different groups of people. Old, young, black, white, married, single.
>>69574370
Just like vidya and movies, the majority fail, the majority lose money, but those that hit tend to hit decently big, and the huge hits are truly colossal.

So every week one of Rollo's relatives gets abducted and he has just one hour to rescue them. He has a very large family with 13 brothers and sisters and they each have between 10 and 12 kids so lots of siblings and nephews and nieces for him to save. This won’t get repetitive because he’s just starting out in this field and his particular set of skills isn’t fully developed yet.

What's the matter, don't you like a good ol "will they won't they" that will span years with cliffhangers, false starts, cluckening and drama?
>>69572658
10 bucks that even the good ones will have shit rating and the budget will make them blow up.
Jesus Christ, why do the "Big Five" always want to greenlight so much shit tv?
Between them all there's like hundreds of early-cancelled shows
>>69584276
Are you telling me that while Hollywood cries jew tears, they would just go on a "throw everything until it sticks" parade?
>>69599017
It's more-so they purchase so many scripts that they have to make them or the other networks can snatch them up.
Even if the show gets cancelled (which it does 90% of the time), they still retain the rights to some degree.
>>69592783
>>69592377
They better not fuck it up, I am tired of these super perfect MCs that love to shove it on your face and have a god complex, I am enjoying this series too much.
>>69599110
I wonder how FX, AMC, and the premium networks do it. Is it pretty much the same?
>>69599243
I've heard it's a little bit different, like they'll get a bunch of scripts and only purchase one of the lot.
With those networks, they just make a pile and buy all those.
>>69570497
>BULL
not about what it should be about.
>>69599017
That's just how the biz works, the networks shotgun out a dozen half baked shows and see what sticks, it's safer than putting all their eggs in one basket and getting fucked if the show flops.
Just look at Syfy, they've made like one original show in the past five years and even made a tie-in MMO, they had this whole huge ad campaign and everything, and it flopped tremendously. It was their biggest budget show to date and it still flopped because sometimes that shit just happens.
>>69599243
HBO makes pilots and decides whether to pick them up to series or not. I know this because Ryan Murphy filmed a lesbian series with Anna Torv and Michelle Monaghan that didn't get picked up by HBO, and Jenji Kohan had one with Karen Gillan that involved witches fucking broomsticks that was passed over too.
:^(
>>69599324
>>69599425
Just wondering because someday I'd creating a show. They say it's good to start out with spec scripts and get on a writing staff but I've heard spec scripts are outdated and one would be better off with a spec pilot
