PILOT REVIEW: Great News

GREAT NEWS Starring: Briga Heelan, Andrea Martin, Adam Campbell, Nicole Richie, Horatio Sanz, and John Michael Higgins Created by Tracey Wigfield Written by Tracey Wigfield, Directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller Great News is a late season entry by NBC from the people who brought us the acclaimed but niche 30 Rock . Taking place in a TV newsroom, it centers on a mother and daughter, Kate and Carol (Briga Heelan and Andrea Martin), who are pretty close until Carol starts working as an intern at the news station where Kate works. Meanwhile, Kate is trying to be more respected by her boss, Greg (Adam Campbell) and the news anchors Chuck and Portia (John Michael Higgins and Nicole Richie). Rounding out the main cast is control room guy Justin (Horatio Sanz). I never watched much of 30 Rock , but this seems to have the same kind of feel at first glance. The pilot was smart by starting the episode showing a loving relationship between mother and daughter. It allowed for the...

CANCELLATION ALERT: Powerless

NBC quietly cancelled Powerless this week by pulling the final three episodes from the schedule. The superhero comedy was already pulled at the last minute a couple times for Trial & Error reruns but now there are no immediate plans to air these last three episodes, sealing its fate. Superstore will air repeats at 8pm leading into new episodes at 8:30pm for the next couple weeks.

RENEWAL ALERT: Criminal Minds

CBS announced today that it has renewed Criminal Minds for a 13th season, joining a  huge list of renewals  made a couple weeks ago. It has come down to the wire with tough negotiations before but the long running drama will be back despite series lows hit this year and some major cast upheavals including the departures of original cast members Shemar Moore (his choice) and Thomas Gibson (the show's choice). Minds has always aired in the Wednesday 9pm slot but it seems like it could finally move to a 10pm slot next year with its slipping numbers. Still on the bubble for CBS is 2 Broke Girls, The Amazing Race, Code Black, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, Elementary, The Great Indoors, Hunted, and Undercover Boss . At least some of those will get renewed. It doesn't look good for The Odd Couple, Pure Genius, Ransom, and Training Day while Doubt has already been cancelled.

QUICK HITS: The Most Promising Pilots

Here is my look at the comedy and drama pilots I'm most interested in for next season! For a complete list,  click here DRAMAS Rise (NBC) - Easily the show I am most looking forward to next season. Set around a high school theater program and from the person who gave us Friday Night Lights and Parenthood ? Count me all in on this one. It's hard to envision a scenario other than this being paired with This is Us on the fall schedule. Deception (ABC) - I'm very interested in a magic procedural perhaps because of how much I enjoy the Now You See Me movies. This seems like a great fit for ABC and a lighthearted procedural in the Castle vein. The Gospel of Kevin (ABC) - I like Jason Ritter in anything I've seen him in and he deserves a success. I think this concept sounds promising and I trust Ritter to make it strong. Searchers (CW)  - This is the only CW pilot that looks promising to me but I like the idea of a globe-setting adventure story uncovering the world...
