deliberatepace: Fall TV 2012: A Look At ABC“Every year, the five major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX and NBC) order pilots to be considered for the fall season. A pilot, as you may know, is the first episode of a TV series and the final step in a long development process from idea to screen. From the 87 drama and comedy pilots ordered this year, a new crop of television shows will be selected — and this year at ABC, where the schedule tends to typically skew towards soaps or family programming, it looks as though they want to expand into the kind of show that might be at home on a more action-oriented network like Fox.” Garrett knows his ABC’s. A fantastic read.
