L.A. Screenings: The Upfronts At a Glance
20 May 2013 7:45 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
20th Century Fox TV
Robin Williams’ biggest commitment to series television since the days of “Mork & Mindy” highlights a 20th TV slate that is deep, even if not necessarily brimming with international star appeal.
Williams is teaming with another recognizable face, Sarah Michelle Gellar, in the single-cam, father-daughter workplace comedy “The Crazy Ones,” from the pen of a scribe with no small amount of global cachet himself: David E. Kelley.
Kelley’s star Stateside hasn’t shined quite as brightly of late — “Harry’s Law” (NBC) lasted only two seasons, while “Monday Mornings” (TNT) didn’t make it past one, and half-hour isn’t exactly where the “Picket Fences” and “Ally McBeal” creator made his bones, but a series starring Williams in an accessible setting is filled with worldwide potential.
A slam dunk for interest is the limited-series return of Kiefer Sutherland in “24: Live Another Day.” The condensed format »

Studios Score as Series Orders Soar
20 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Pilot season was good for the major studios, which emerged from upfront week with orders for 50 new scripted comedy and drama series, up by more than 20% from last year.
Production of new scripted primetime programming for the Big Four and CW is more concentrated than ever before among six suppliers: Warner Bros. TV, 20th Century Fox TV, CBS TV Studios, ABC Studios, Universal TV and Sony Pictures TV.
Execs report a burst of last-minute wrangling this year over network efforts to force their way into co-production pacts as a condition of series greenlights. CBS and NBC in particular were said to be more heavy-handed in negotiations this time around than in the recent past.
But generally speaking, the mood was upbeat after the parade of schedule presentations. The five nets ordered 22 new comedies, up from 16 last year, and 28 drama series, up from 22.

Roundup of New CBS Shows for Fall 2013-2014
16 May 2013 4:07 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
CBS has released promotional videos for six of its eight new series premiering next season. The network opted to post behind-the-scenes videos rather than traditional trailers. Included is The Millers with Will Arnett, Mom with Anna Faris, The Crazy Ones with Robin Williams and Hostages with Toni Collette. Cam Gigandet’s legal drama Reckless and the ensemble comedy Friends with Better Live are not included. Watch the clips below. Enjoy!
This heavily serialized thriller is set for a limited run of 15 episodes. Starring Toni Collette, Dylan McDermott and Tate Donovan, Hostages has been compared in spirit to an extended arc from Person of Interest. Like Showtime’s Homeland, the new series is based on an Israeli series by Alon Aranya, Omri Givon and Rotem Shamir. The show’s plot centers on a family wrapped up in a mass political conspiracy that is poised to change their lives forever.
Hostages airs mondays at 10 p. »

'The Last Classic TV Comedy'?
16 May 2013 11:53 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Will Arnett is leaving behind the single-camera comedy world for CBS's "The Millers." He hasn't left the family comedy angle though. The show co-stars Beau Bridges and Margo Martindale as his parents, who are going through a bitter separation and Arnett's character, a local news reporter, is recently divorced himself.
"['The Millers'] is a way to tell a different version of a family, but in a really fun environment," Arnett told The Huffington Post at the CBS 2013 upfront. "It's not dark -- it's just like this really fun family that people can relate to and there are dark moments, but we really make light of it. It's a pure comedy."
Arnett, who will reprise his "Arrested Development" role when the show returns with new episodes on Netflix May 26, recently spent two seasons on NBC's "Up All Night." The show made headlines when news broke of a dramatic overhaul -- turning the show »

5 TV Shows We’d Love To Return For A New Series (But Never Will)

Have you ever sat down on the living room sofa, flicked open the TV guide for the evening and complained “there’s nothing good on”, only to venture back upstairs, and stare longingly at your dust-covered DVD collection?
If you’re like me and have a library of old TV shows from Black Adder to Scrubs sitting on your shelves, and wish they were they were still running, but know they never will grace our silver screen again, then this list is for you.
If you think Misfits is rubbish and long for the It Crowd, or think Bernard Black is a better anti-hero than Dexter, then you may enjoy what the following pages contain.
Here, we run through 5 TV shows that are long gone from our television sets that we wish would return for a new series (but sadly, never will).

CBS' Fall Schedule: A Snap Judgment
16 May 2013 6:25 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Who says CBS doesn’t make bold programming moves? Oh, that’s right: Everyone. But everyone would be slightly wrong! At yesterday’s upfront presentation, the nation’s most-watched — if least-interesting — broadcast television network surprised reporters by revealing that it was not green-lighting two high-profile potential series: A small screen revival of Beverly Hills Cop from executive producer Shawn Ryan (The Shield) starring Brandon T. Jackson as the son of Axel Foley and a recurring Eddie Murphy; and NCIS: Red, starring John Corbett and Kim Raver. Beverly Hills Cop might find a home elsewhere, while NCIS: Red was deemed unworthy »

'The Millers' preview video: Will Arnett moves in with mom Margo Martindale in new CBS comedy
15 May 2013 7:31 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
CBS is making big moves in its comedy programming this fall, expanding its Thursday block to two hours. To do so, it's relying on a handful of big names. Not only did the network place the new Robin Williams vehicle "The Crazy Ones" in the 9 p.m., but it's hoping Will Arnett's latest can bring some fresh eyes to the night as well.
In "The Millers," from "Raising Hope" creator Greg Garcia, Arnett stars as Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local news reporter whose excitement over his new single life is derailed after his dad Tom (Beau Bridges) leaves his mom Carol (Margo Martindale, "The Americans"), prompting Carol to move in with Nathan.
The preview of the show reveals its very much in line with the multi-camera comedies that, for better or worse, we've come to expect from CBS. Fans of the networks lineup will probably eat this up. »

Upfront Scorecard: CBS Rolls Dice on Becoming the New ‘Must-See TV’
15 May 2013 3:08 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
CBS was so eager to start boasting about being No. 1, its upfront presentation began promptly at 4:01 p.m. Et, which is virtually unheard of. Advertisers straggling in late might have even missed the sweet tribute to the upcoming final season of “How I Met Your Mother,” once again demonstrating why networks like using the “Les Miserables” soundtrack in their presentations.
In some respects, that sense of urgency was understandable. In others, they might have wanted to wait a little longer.

The Eye network’s big gamble for the fall involves expanding to a second comedy four-stack on Thursday night, essentially seeking to drive reeling NBC into the ground and formally claim the valuable suck-up-all-that-movie-marketing-cash “Must-See TV” mantle for itself. Yet judging the network’s quartet of new sitcoms by their cutdown clips, CBS only made it halfway there.

New 2013 TV Season Breakdown: CBS
15 May 2013 11:55 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fourth announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on CBS.
The king of the networks easily remains in charge despite "Elementary" being their only fresh hit of last season's new shows. The network's line-up remains fairly stable with only a few key moves such as Thursday being expanded to include two hours of comedy programming, and "Hawaii Five-0" moving to Fridays.
Several other pilots didn't make the cut this week including the series sequel to the "Beverly Hills Cop" movies, a TV version of the comedy "Bad Teacher", the "NCIS" mobile spin-off "NCIS: Red," a procedural based on Leif G.W. Persson's literary homicide detective Everett Backstrom, the Frank Marshall-produced political thriller "The Ordained" about a priest turned lawyer trying to save his sister from assassination, »

Michael Rapaport & Mary Elizabeth Ellis Exit New CBS Series ‘The Millers’
15 May 2013 7:52 AM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Two roles on CBS‘ new comedy series The Millers will be recast. I’ve learned that Michael Rapaport and Mary Elizabeth Ellis are leaving Greg Garcia’s multi-camera show starring Will Arnett as Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local roving news reporter looking forward to living the singles’ life until his parents’ marital problems unexpectedly derail his plans. After Nathan finally breaks the news of his divorce to his parents, Carol (Margo Martindale) and Tom (Beau Bridges), his father is inspired to follow suit and stuns the family when he leaves his wife of 43 years. Carol moves in with Will, while Tom moves in with Will’s sister Debbie and her husband — roles that were played in the James Burrows-directed pilot by Ellis and Rapaport and will now be recast. CBS TV Studios is producing. Interestingly, all recastings on new shows so far this year have been on comedy series, »

CBS has decided on some of its pickups for the 2013–14 season, sources confirm this afternoon. So far on the network's yes list: •Hostages, a drama starring Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott as people enmeshed in a government hostage crisis. Collette plays a surgeon who's operating on the president, and McDermott plays an FBI agent. •Intelligence, a drama starring Josh Holloway as a "U.S. Cyber Command" agent with a microchip in his head that lets him "access the entire electromagnetic spectrum." Oy. •We Are Men, a comedy starring Kal Penn, Tony Shalhoub, and Jerry O'Connell as divorced guys living in the same apartment complex. •Mom, a comedy from Chuck Lorre starring Anna Faris and Allison Janney. (We liked it!) •The Millers, a comedy from Greg Garcia, starring Will Arnett and Margo Martindale. Arnett plays a recently divorced man trying to keep the end of his marriage a secret from his parents. »
