Default TV Pilots for 07/08

Well, TV season is usually pretty dry this time of year.

There are a few gems on but eh.

Anyhow, last year, I became aware of the TV pilot season in which episodes sent to networks and critics are sent out to get a feel for the show. Last year, I was able to discover Heroes this way so I turned my attention to the new shows this year as the summer months die down.

Anyhow the ones i have seen so far
Pushing Daises
Reaper
Chuck
Sarah Connor Chronicles

I think those are the only ones.
I think this would also be the order that I would put em. Though Reaper/Chuck are a lot closer. And Sarah Connor Chronicles is at the bottom but not because it is awful.

Pushing Daises is an awesome pilot and should make for a good show. The only problem is I fear it won't last an entire season because it just seems so quirky. I won't say what it is about but would advise everyone to check it out.

Reaper is another show that is pretty high quality. Before I go on would say that Reaper and Chuck are pretty similar shows.

-Both involve male cast leaders who have better normal lives, who have something occur to them on a birthday that makes em special.

-They both have an annoying side kick/best friend.

-A hot chick in their life who is kind of off limits.

-Some extraordinary task that neither is prepared for but both accept.

The main difference is that Reaper deals more with sci-fiction/fantasy while Chuck is kind of a gov't show.

Sarah Connor Chronicle is a good pilot, I would say. The problem is I have no idea they plan on maintaining it for an entire season or even multiple seasons.
